Shoe boxes get a much needed makeover with these elegant Canvas Shoe Boxes!
If you are a shoe collector (and aren’t we all, really? at least anyone who is reading this must be), then you know that you can’t just keep your best shoes in cardboard shoe boxes. You’ve invested in a great pair of shoes, one that you swear you will wear for years to come, and this pair of shoes needs somewhere very safe to be stored. There are many options out there for permanent style shoe boxes (for long term or seasonal storage). They range from clear plastic, which are great for seeing what’s in them and certainly keep the dust off, but they are not much sturdier than their cardboard friends. Wood shoe boxes are wonderful but more on the pricey side. Well this week’s featured product lands right in between these other options. Safe, sturdy, affordable and stylish. These canvas shoe boxes are soft yet sturdy, with sides that won’t collapse on you when you stack them sky high. The canvas is contrasted nicely by a stylish brown border for looks. They close up completely, with a cute little door on the front to keep dust and insects out, and, believe it or not, you can still see what’s inside, even though the box is opaque. A transparent vinyl window on the front allows you to get a good glimpse of what shoes are hiding in there so that you don’t have to open dozens of boxes to get to the right pair! And, best of all, when not in use (??), these boxes collapse completely for storage and are great for travel! Use them for shoe storage, or for crafts, scarves, accessories and other items around the home. Enjoy this new and improved shoe storage box!
Imagine, an all in one closet organizer that includes a shoe rack – well that’s just what I’ve found! The complete closet hanging organizer system is a modular system that allows you to pick and choose the pieces that you want to get your closet organized once and for all. Each piece hangs over the closet rod which is one of the best ways to make space-conscious use of your closet. Often times, a closet will have short skirts and shirts hanging from the top bar, with one hundred percent wasted space underneath it. The best way to make the most of your closet space is by taking advantage of every inch of vertical space, and hanging shoe organizers help you to do this. This closet organizer is the typical canvas style with shelves and cubbies of varying sizes, with one twist. You get to choose the pieces to organize your shoes and clothes, and then snap them together for a sturdy closet organizer! The shoe hanging shelf has five shelves, just enough space for five or more pairs of shoes. Athletic shoes require more space, but this organizer is great for sandals and dress shoes, each shelf holding a pair. Two other components to this system, one with five shelves and one with four, can be used for sweaters, clothes and purses, but also for large men’s shoes and women’s running and athletic shoes. If you have a few feet of hanging space in your closet, line up a few of these organizers to create an entire custom shoe rack for a fraction of the cost! In addition to the shelves, an expanding rod can be hung from your existing closet rod to maximize storage. They are affordable, stylish, and when you are finished with them, they can be repurposed for something else around the house. Enjoy!
This Week’s Product of the Week proves that shoe racks do NOT have to be dull. Read on for what is probably one of the most luxurious shoe racks you’ve ever seen. And, it’s more affordable than a custom built shoe organizer.
All I can say is WOW! This shoe organizer packs a punch in terms of style and function! You choose your wood tone, your size and your configuration to make a custom shoe rack that fits your needs exactly, at a fraction of the cost of a real custom built model. The Shoe Traps Modular Shoe Cubby System is one of the coolest shoe racks I’ve seen on the market. There are three different sizes of shoe boxes to choose from, large, medium and small. Each shoe cubby has a glass door on the front with a magnetic closure, it couldn’t be simpler to use! The glass doors are cool for three reasons. First, they look beautiful lined up next to one another, each framed in a wooden box. Second, they allow you to see what’s inside, and show off your colorful and beautiful pumps, flats and men’s shoes. And third, they keep dust, moisture and insects off of your shoes. A Spanish cedar lining offers the benefits of aromatic cedar, which acts as a natural insect repellent and also a natural deodorizer. So choose whatever variation works best for your shoe storage needs, and simply stack them together using the provided adhesive strips – very easy to use and looks great in the closet or anywhere in the bedroom or hallway. The wood choices include cherry, mahogany and maple finishes. For a more finished look, each color also has a platform available that can hold a couple of your choice of cubbies. All in all, I would say for the price, this is one of the best high-end style shoe racks available!
This week’s shoe organizer is a new item, designed just for sandals, my personal favorite footwear!
March is the official start of flip flop season where I live, so imagine how excited I was to see this new over the door shoe rack that is designed just for sandals! We all know that thong sandals are very inexpensive, and therefore it is perfectly legitimate that you have to have one in every color, shape, form and style. This over the door shoe rack is from the Jokari bamboo accents collection. Bamboo is an eco-friendly renewable resource so that makes this an environmentally friendly shopping choice. Simply use the included elastic straps to tie this shoe rack to the back of any door, and you can instantly have easy access to all of your sandals throughout the season. You can fit up to ten pairs on this rack, and it is really easy to use. All you have to do is slide a pair of shoes under each of the elastic straps for an instant closet makeover. Got more than 10 pairs? These shoe racks are narrow enough that you can put two side by side to hold up to 20 pairs of either dressy or casual sandals. And at ten bucks a piece, they are definitely budget friendly. If you don’t have quite that many pairs of sandals, you will find that many other items can be stored in there as well, scarves for example. So don’t resist buying sandals this year just for lack of storage space, this over the door sandal rack has finally solved that problem for you. Of course, if you are resisting buying shoes for financial reasons, that’s another story. But either way, you can enjoy the benefits of this affordable shoe storage rack in your home.

A tilting Shoe Cabinet is a stylish and discreet option for Shoe Storage!
A Shoe Cabinet is a great choice for shoe storage. It is roomy enough to hold a large collection and, best of all, it hides clutter. This is particularly useful if your shoe rack has to be out in the open, in the bedroom, hallway, or entryway. You can close the doors on your shoe rack and no one will even know what’s inside! There are many different types of shoe cubbies and shoe cabinets. A traditional cabinet with doors looks like it could hold anything, but when you look inside you will see built in shoe cubbies. These are available in a variety of finishes, usually made with a sturdy MDF design. An alternative to the traditional shoe cabinet is a tilting cabinet. These hide shoes and organize them at the same time, just as the old fashioned shoe cabinets. But, instead of opening doors fully to access shoes, on these cabinets the door tilts down and brings with it rows of shoe organizers. These are very handy for use in the closet or out in the open! The doors don’t have to open as wide as the other cabinets, so it’s also a great choice in awkward spaces and small homes. Best of all, you can find these tilt out shoe cabinets in a stackable form. This Triple Shoe Cabinet is a great example – it’s available in five different finishes, and also in different sizes. Choose from single level and double level models. Made of sturdy MDF, these are an affordable shoe organizer choice. Each cabinet holds 12 pairs of shoes, so three cabinets equals 36 pair storage capacity – plenty for even the best shoe collector! Next time you are looking for a new shoe rack, consider one of these tilt-out style shoe cabinets!
Being environmentally friendly is in. Here’s one way you can do your part in your closet! Read on…
I’ve blogged before about eco friendly shoes, and what you can do with old shoes to help the environment instead of harming it, and now I’m going to take it a step further. If you are in the market for a new shoe organizer, and you like to shop green, an environmentally shoe rack may be the right choice for you! There are many different ways you can go with this. One way is to buy a product that is chemical free, like a cedar shoe rack that is left unfinished. Just make sure first that it is made of a replenish type of cedar, like a farmed red cedar. Another way is to use something you already have around the home, or search ebay or craigslist for something used. Better yet, get yourself to the goodwill or Salvation Army for a pre-used shoe rack. If you really want to buy one, though, this environmentally friendly shoe rack gets two green thumbs up from me. This shoe organizer is made of 70% recycled plastic bottles, a fine way to make good use of wasted materials, turning them into something nice and new so that consumers have a choice of buying green planet friendly products. This shoe rack has 20 pockets, for holding ten pairs of shoes, but is also great for organizing socks, scarves, and other accessories. Best of all, it hangs over the door, one of the most space-efficient shoe storage options on the market, and requires no assembly or drilling. Use it in the hall closet as the family shoe rack, in the kids room for small toys and stuffed animals, or in your own closet for easy access to your most used shoes!
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!
