The 'Zpurs' shoe hangers are a specialized accessory for gym goers and travelers who are looking for a better way to keep an additional footwear option on hand at all times. Working with any style of shoe, the device works by securely clipping onto the edge of the footwear and attaching it onto the exterior of a bag. This eliminates the need to stuff shoes into a bag and prevents other gear from being dirtied to keep everything as fresh as possible.
The 'Zpurs' shoe hangers have been designed by Alistair Taverner and are ideal for athletes to let them store their footwear outside of a bag after a workout or training to let it properly dry between wears.
