The device comprises two U-shaped members I!) and 28, made preferably of flat spring metal of from A; to /2 inch in width and not Wider than the straps of a shoe to which the device is applied. One member I!) is about four inches long on each side and is adapted to be positioned underneath the back strap of a shoe. The other member 20 is the same length or slightly smaller and is pivoted to the back member H3 by pivots 30 at an intermediate portion of the latter member I0.
The ends 40 of the back member are curved forwardly, to provide for rocking action on the insole of the shoe in the process of inserting and adjusting the form. The distance from the ends 40 to the pivots 30 is less than from the pivots 3b to the top of the member l8, and each leg of the member is angularly bent backward from the region of the pivots 30. This dimension and shape are advantageous to best display the type of womens shoe known as sandal and illustrated in Figure 2.
As illustrated, the form is inserted in a shoe, with the back member ID under the back strap of the shoe.
