Shoe storage - from shoe racks to shoe boxes; and shoe bags to shoe closets, the options are endless. But, if you're like me, you might not have given much thought to organizing your shoes. After all, who wants to shop for a shoes rack, when you could be shopping for shoes? But when you realize there are no less than five pairs of shoes (all belonging to one person!) residing under your kitchen table, it's time to start shopping for shoe storage. Here are a few really great shoe organizers.
Oh my, this shoe rack is cool. If you have a space about 36 inches wide, ten inches deep, and less than five feet tall, this is the shoe rack for you. It is freestanding, and the seller claims it locks together easily in seconds. Holding up to fifty pairs of women's shoes, this may just be the shoe rack of your dreams. Also available is a thirty pair model - but, who are they kidding? (Image provided by StacksandStacks.com)
These silver-colored shelves would be great for storing anything, but are ideal for shoes. They have a clean, streamlined appearance, and can be stacked on any flat surface -- but the best part is, they require no tools to assemble.
This over-the-door shoe rack will hold up to two dozen pairs of shoes and will easily hang over most standard doors, or can be mounted to the wall. My favorite thing about this system is that it displays the shoes upright, instead of in pockets. It also has adjustable shelves to accommodate shoes or boots of any height.
Okay, this shoe rack is really cool if you or someone you know is not opposed to doing a little handy work. Each shelf hold three pairs shoes, and attaches to the wall. In addition to being very sleek and easy to place, this slanted shelf is a steal at less than $5.00 -- meaning you can place them all over the house.
These shoe organizers have open ends for easy access. This version holds 20 pair of shoes, but there are also versions that will hold 30 or 40 pairs. If you're looking for easy access to your shoes, and want a clean design, you should definitely check out these shoe organizers.
In addition to getting big points for being chrome, this shoe rack is also expandable from 26 inches to 47 inches wide, accommodating a lot of shoes. It has a very clean and contemporary look, and would be the perfect shoe rack for anyone who is looking to turn a bit of extra shelf or floor space into a happy place for shoes.
When it comes to shoe boxes, I have a very simple theory: clear is cool. And these clear shoe boxes are the coolest. They have a slide-out "drawer," little rubber feet that allow them to be neatly stacked, and a handle for carrying -- genius! You can learn more about them in my review, or head straight to the Shoebby Web Site to check out all the details.
