A shoe-holding apparatus for use in removably supporting a shoe for repairing, polishing, or the like, including an elongate frame having an upper surface adapted to supportingly engage the undersurface of the shoe sole. A shoe-gripping construction includes convergingly operative forward and rearward grip members for clampingly engaging respectively the forward sole edge at the shoe toe and the heel edge at the back of the shoe. The forward grip member is operative through a leaf spring and a helical tension spring, causing compound gripping action on the shoe sole toe edge in directions both rearwardly and downwardly of the shoe sole supporting frame. The shoe gripping mechanism and action is selectively variable in position and tension for accommodating various shoe shapes and sizes.
