Shoe Racks on the Go!
Since I’ve had so many comments lately asking whether a shoe rack is portable or not, I decided to explore this idea of a portable shoe rack. First, some reasons that you would need a portable shoe rack and, second, what type to look for!
Many of you may be asking, why on earth would you need a portable shoe rack? If you are asking this, you obviously have never traveled with me. I know that traveling is a lot easier if you can keep the amount of stuff you bring to a minimum. But, I just can’t ever decide ahead of time what I’m going to need. So I usually pack up about one pair for each day I’ll be gone and stuff them around my clothes in a bag. I know it seems excessive, but this is the only way I can be sure that I will have the right shoes at the right time. There is a tradeoff, though – I usually end up skimping in the clothes department.
Another reason someone might want to have a portable shoe rack is if they sell, make or decorate shoes, then they may need to take a rack with them to shows.
What kinds of racks can be considered “Portable”?
- Rolling Shoe Racks – Technically these are portable, but only from room to room. You can’t take these in the car or (worse) a plane, and expect your shoes to stay on the rack.
- Plastic Bin – These are very portable but they don’t really keep your shoes organized, just in one big pile, so I don’t think they count as a rack in this scenario.
OTD Shoe Rack – This is by far the best option. You can put your shoes in them and then roll them up and throw it in your suitcase. When you get to the hotel, unroll it, hang it over the nearest door and voila! you have your travel shoe organizer!
