shoes
If you’ve stumbled upon my shoe rack blog, then you probably fall into one of the following categories:
1. The shoe fanatic – “Pay off my car early? Oh please…sign me up for next season’s 8″ Louboutins platforms”
2. The shoe collector – “Hey, I don’t buy new shoes every season, so I’m not getting rid of the old ones anytime soon – besides, you never know when jellies are gonna make a comeback…”
3. A mom – “Susie, if I trip on your shoes one more time I’m going to [insert idle threat]…”
4. A combination of all three with many more added complexities– (this is me!)I’m sure there are countless other categories, but any way you look at it, most of us wear shoes. And if you have even just a few pairs, then you probably use (or should use) a shoe rack in your home.
That’s what this blog is all about: organizing shoes!
I’ve worked the retail-end of the home organizing field for 10 years now, so I’ve seen literally hundreds of different types of shoe racks. Actually I haven’t just seen these shoe organizers, I’ve helped countless people choose the right one by doing everything from basic measurements to helping them take their heels off and seeing how many we can stuff into a particular cubby. And, I’ve even put a lot of them together.
In the shoe rack blog, you can look forward to tips and articles on the following topics (and many more to come):
–space-efficient shoe storage basics
–other uses for things that are shoe racks
–other things that can be used to organize shoes
–eco friendly ideas about shoes
–seasonal shoe storage ideas and advice
And, the very best benefit of reading any organizing blog: Community! New ideas from other organizing enthusiasts. Whatever your shoe story is, please share it with us!

So glad to see this new Blog. I’m a shoe freak and am always looking for new thoughts on how to keep them organized and under control. Cardboard shoe boxes just don’t work for me, as I like to see my shoes and be able to get to them quickly. I have found that shoe cubbies are the most efficient way of storing large quantiites. Look forward to what you and other readers post.

Welcome Ruth - I really like shoe cubbies too - it keeps things from falling onto the floor.
