A
person CAN have too many shoes. But you probably won't give them up. So organize
them with these eight shoe storage solutions:
1.
WHAT: UnderBed Shoe Storage sold by Organize.com - Clear.
Holds 16 pairs of shoes. Thick durable vinyl.
WHY: You want to keep your shoes (especially
dress shoes) easily accessible but dust-free. If you've got multiple pairs of
shoes in your closet now, you know how quickly they get covered in dust. This
shoe storage bag is easily accessible because it's clear---you can see at a
glance the pair you want to wear without digging through piles. And its zipper
enables you to easily get right in it. If you don't want it under the bed, hide
it under the couch, a futon or a chair---anywhere memorable and convenient for
you.

2.
WHAT: 4 Tier Shoe Storage Shelf sold by Stacks and Stacks,
Chrome, 27.97"h x 25.94"w x11.63.d
WHY: You can put four times as many shoes in
the same width of space. Instead of stuffing your shoes in some shoe pockets or
such you're setting them on a shelf basically---very convenient for shoes you
wear daily and taller shoes like women's ankle boots and men's larger shoe
sizes.

3.
WHAT: 50 Pair Freestanding Shoe Rack
sold by Stacks and Stacks, white.
WHY: If you're a shoe lover or just have a
big family who needs to share the shoe rack, this rack will work for you. Put it
in a walk-in closet in your dressing area or wherever works for your family (if
they'll all be using it). If dust bothers you, you can put less worn shoes on
the rack in either their original shoe boxes or buy some clear shoe containers
(usually a dollar or two each) and place those on the rack. Also, consider
securing this rack to the wall with some hardware if you have small children
using it---wouldn't want them to pull it over on themselves.

4.
WHAT:
Portable Shoe Closet sold by Stacks and Stacks - Four shelves, solid wood.
WHY: Its wood frame is covered with a canvas
exterior down both sides, its back and on top. Then in front it has a roll down
canvas panel. So you can keep it open when it's convenient. Otherwise, drop the
front roll down panel to keep the dust off of your shoes (and if you don't
already know it, trust me when I say dust will pile onto your shoes in your
typical "open" shoe racks).
WHERE:
Shoe Closet - 4 Shelf Covered
5.
WHAT:
Over The Door Pocket Shoe Organizer sold by Stacks and Stacks - 24
pockets, nylon and mesh.
WHY: Use that hidden space behind the door
to hide and keep easily accessible the shoes you wear most often. Put each shoe
in its own pocket to keep them from rubbing against and scuffing each other.

Shoe Organizer - 24 pockets
6.
WHAT:
Shoe Storage Bench sold by Home Decorators Collection - Holds up to 16
pairs of shoes, four drawers, ivory textured fabric seat, hand-crafted oak
veneer.
WHY: It serves double-duty as a window seat
in any room or as a bench to use while putting your shoes on in the front
entryway. You could even put it at the foot of your bed.

7.
WHAT:
Shoe Storage Cabinets sold by Stacks and Stacks- Melamine laminated
particle board, holds up to 36 pairs of shoes, drop down doors, colors white,
black, oak or cherry.
WHY: It's a vertical organizer, which means
it holds three times as many pairs of shoes within the same small horizontal
width on your floor. The white cabinet blends in anywhere in your home. You can
store your shoes near the front hall even and they will still be neatly
concealed (plus dust-free).

8.
WHAT:
Shoe Storage Boxes sold by Organize.com - 12.2 quart, Iris brand, holds
men's or women's shoes, durable polypropylene
WHY: You can store your less worn dress
shoes in these boxes and stack them on a less accessible closet shelf. The dust
will stay off of them. Since they're translucent, you'll be able to see your
shoes at a glance when you do need them.
