ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A new and improved rack for footwear is provided herein. The rack includes an open ended framework having a truncated shape and foot- wear hangers which do not project laterally inwardly or outwardly from the framework. The open-ended truncated shape and projection-free design of the rack permit it to be stacked on top of and over another identical rack, thereby facilitating display and transportation of the racks. The truncated shape is also advantageous because it increases the stability and strength of the rack by distributing its load over a relatively wide base. Thus, the size of the members constituting the framework can be reduced, resulting in lower construction costs. The lower construction and transportation costs result in a lower purchase price to the consumer, thereby increasing the number of potential buyers. The open-ended construction of the rack is also advantageous because it permits the hangers to be arranged such that footwear can be hung exteriorally and interiorally of the framework around substantially its entire periphery. By utilizing space inside and outside of the framework for storage purposes, the rack may be made compact. Furthermore, by utilizing substantially its entire periphery for storage purposes, the rack is capable of storing several pieces of footwear in spite of its compactness. The manufacture and assembly of the rack are further facilitated by providing each frame member with its own monolithi- cally formed connectors adapted to interconnect the various frame members, whereby the number of parts required to make the rack is reduced. Inasmuch as the manufacture and assembly of the rack are facilitated, the cost of constructing the rack is reduced. This reduction in construction costs re- sults in a lower purchase price to the consumer, thereby increasing the num- ber of potential buyers.
