When possible pack at least two options for a special occasion so you give yourself choices in case the weather changes or you decide on a different look.

10 Shelf Men's Hanging Shoe Organizer

Shoe storage is always an issue at my house; my wife and I are always tripping over loose pairs of shoes that are lying about in our hallway.  The problem is that we have so many shoes for every different use imaginable; it is more convenient to have them sitting on the floor.  Who would want to dig through the mess that is their closet in order to find their ice fishing spikes?  I know I certainly do not.
My wife was getting fed up with all these shoes littering our otherwise spotless living room area.  It was quickly becoming a point of contention until I found the solution on StacksandStacks.com.  I was able to find the perfect shoe organizer for my many different styles of footwear. “What is this magical contraption?” you may ask, and indeed it is the 10 shelf men’s hanging shoe organizer.
By placing this shoe shelf in my closet, I instantly had quick and easy access to ten of my most used pairs of shoes. The openings face the front of the closet, so I am able to pick out the appropriate pair at a moment’s notice.  I also love the fact that this organizer is so slim, allowing me to have plenty of room to hang my jackets and other clothes.  I never have to worry about rips or tears with this hanging shoe rack because it is made from extremely durable cotton canvas.
This hanging shoe organizer is large enough to accommodate my big, manly work boots so it obviously is also perfect for storing my wife’s dainty high heels and night time slippers.

20 Pair Stacking Metal and Plastic Shoe Rack

Looking for an affordable shoe storage rack can sometimes be a headache, as you have to take into consideration sturdiness and usefulness.  This 20 pair stacking metal and plastic shoe rack does the job just beautifully and can be used in every room of every home for a more organized, polished look.

This shoe organizer holds up to 20 pairs of shoes.  That makes it a great choice for a variety of shoe storage situations.  First, in the mudroom or by the front door.  Everyone can easily place their shoes on this rack when they come home and then find them with no problem when it is time to leave the house again.  And we all know that making shoe storage easy is the first step in getting all members of the household to comply with the policy.

Living on your own?  This affordable shoe rack is sized perfectly for those who live alone.  Use it in the back of your closet, in the hall, or in the bedroom for easy access to twenty pairs of your favorite shoes.  This shoe organizer uses a sturdy combination of metal and wire which keeps the cost down.  One of the additional benefits of these materials is that they are easy to clean.  If you prefer that everyone take their shoes off outside your home, this shoe rack will send that message gracefully.  If it gets caked with mud and dirt over time, simply hose it off and let it air dry for years of use.

For those of us who really REALLY love their shoes, this rack is very lightweight and therefore is a great choice for use high up in the closet.  Stack boxes of out-of-season shoes on the shelves to keep the rest of your closet (think: floor) neat and tidy. Get yours at Stacks and Stacks!

Shoe racks come in all shapes and sizes!  What we typically think of as a shoe rack is a set of open shelves or bars, shoes lined up side by side where you can see each and every pair.  This is a great way to organize and store shoes, as it allows you to see very clearly what pairs you have available, every size, making it easy to choose the right accessories for your outfit that day.  Another option for storing shoes, however, is very simple - something you probably already have around the house, or, at the very least, can pick up very inexpensively at a store, and that item is a drawer!  Drawers come in all shapes, sizes and styles, so it’s easy to find one to fit in with your decor and budget. 

Some of the benefits of shoe drawers are the following: 
1.  First of all, shoes can’t fall out of drawers when they are closed.  If you (or others in your family) have trouble keeping your shoes on the rack and off the floor, drawers may just be the right answer for you.  They will keep shoes stored in the drawer, offering a more neat and tidy look to your closet or hallway, wherever you keep your shoes handy.
2. Second of all, drawers keep shoes out of sight.  Some people might find that they don’t want their shoes in their face all the time, they would rather have them hidden away.  And a drawer can easily solve this issue.
3. Thirdly, drawers offer relief from any shoe odor that is bothering you.  A plastic drawer will keep odors totally contained, but it you want a little airflow, try a woven or fabric drawer system, like this versatile 3 Drawer Chest.   Set it up in a closet or even out in the open and keep your shoes out of sight (and smell)!

Shoes:  Front and Center!  Give your shoes a prominent location in the closet to avoid clutter and damage. 

A custom closet allows you to design a closet organizer that fits your needs exactly.  Custom closets, though, can be pricey.  But now you can buy closet organizer kits to give you the “custom” closet of your dreams, at a fraction of the price.  If you have a lot of shoes, pick one that has a tower capability, so that you know that your shoes will be front and center, ready for putting on, taking off, organizing and keeping neat and tidy in general.  This shoe tower kit is made of laminated MDF which is a great choice for shoes, as it is a very easy to clean material, so you don’t have to worry about scuffing, dirt and mud.  Another good choice would be wire, although of course then the dirt can fall through to the floor, but hey, that’s why vacuums were invented, right?  Some of these closet kits have adjustable shelves, if you choose one that does have adjustable tower shelves, you might want to take a careful look at what types and sizes of shoes you have before you build it.  For example, high heels can lie flat on the shelves, so that’s not a problem, but high top shoes (your husband’s) will take up a lot of room vertically, so you’ll want to plan accordingly when setting up your closet.  The nice thing about a shoe tower is that it is perfectly suited to this important piece of apparel, because it is narrow and tall, making the best use of what is usually wasted vertical space in the closet.  Some closet organizers allow you place the tower anywhere you want.  If you would rather look at your shirts and dresses hanging than stacks of shoes, you might put the tower in the corner or back of the closet.  If you are like me, then you will love to put your shoes away every night and pick out the next day’s, meaning the shoe rack should go front and center!

Traditional Shoe Boxes get a makeover with updated materials and style.  Read On.

There’s no question about it, shoe boxes are one of the best ways to protect your footwear from dust, insects and moisture.  I remember that my grandmother always kept her cardboard shoe boxes from the shoe store and piled them high on her upper closet shelf, mostly for dress shoes that she didn’t wear everyday.  There were probably about 20 boxes.  This was great for protecting more expensive shoes. 

The cardboard could certainly keep dust off of the shoes, and she would even stuff the tissue paper back into the front of the shoes to maintain their shape (this problem can now be solved with shoe pops or shoe trees, both affordable and readily available at StacksAndStacks.com).  The problem with this system of shoe preservation and shoe organization was that you had to dig through dozens of boxes to find the right pair of shoes to match your outfit.  So while the cardboard boxes are protective (for a while, at least, until they start collapsing), they are also very secretive, each protecting the identity of its contents from our eyes. 

This problem can be solved with some great new inventions in shoe boxes.  These are permanent solutions that will last for years.  They are not free, like the cardboard variety, but they are a wise and cost effective purchase, because they will protect shoes (not cheap either) from the usual damage.  Clear plastic shoe boxes is the choice of many people, because they really let you see what’s inside, and allow you to almost create a display of your favorite shoes, perfect for shoe lovers like me!  A more discreet choice are fabric shoe boxes.  Now you may think that you can’t see through the fabric, and you are correct.  But, the manufacturers thought ahead and made these shoe boxes with a little window, so you can still see what’s inside – a great, neat look for any closet!
