A more economical, efficient, portable and versatile apparatus for drying tennis shoes within rotary drum dryers, which comprises a fixed main tube (11), a pair of telescoping members (12), a pair of heel support crossbars (14), and an urging means (20) that interact to provide a platform with an automatic compression and expansion range. The apparatus can be used in various sizes of home and commercial dryer drums. Tennis shoes are fastened directly to the apparatus by inserting a shoe toe into a continuous angular loop (18). The user can secure a predetermined size shoe 23 to heel support crossbar (14) by attaching a flexible cord component (19) and heel clip (16). The heel clip (16) is attached to a back spine area of a predetermined tennis shoe, and the resulting pressure leverages the toe of the shoe against a strut (17). Tennis shoes are held in a balanced, open fashion, which facilitates greater circulation of air flow through both inner, and outer portions of shoes, and provides a more efficient drying system. When braced against the sides of a dryer drum, the drum rotates the tennis shoes directly through a central, heated air treatment zone without noise, material damage, and tangling. The device can be used in concert with freely tumbling items placed within the dryer drum.
