Shoe Storage

Storage options for shoes

Nobody wants a heap of shoes spilling out of a closet, but everyone has different storage needs and desires for their shoe storage. Some people prefer flat shelving for shoe storage so their shoes don't slide off the shelf, while others prefer slanted shelving to better display their shoes. Here are some options.

Space

Choose the tallest shoe storage shelving that will fit into your closet that will fit under your longest pants or dresses. This will ensure the best use of space when it comes to shoe storage.

Styles

Cubbyholes are a very sturdy and protective option for your shoes. If you store one shoe per cubby, your shoes will stay shapely and clean. Shoe storage cubbies are typically available as large boxes with 6-20 small cubes for stashing your shoes.

Fabric hanging shoe shelves make a fantastic shoe storage option by using extra space on your clothing rod. These shoe shelves attach, via Velcro or snaps, over the hanging rod and can usually store eight to 10 pairs of shoes in little cubbyholes, one shoe per cubby. The fabric also allows space for shoes to breathe, eliminating moisture and odors.

Put your door to use for shoe storage if you are out of other options with a door hanging shoe rack. This space is ideal for your slippers or smaller shoes, as they are less likely to be squished. Carefully select the shoes that you wish to store here.

If you have pets that would enjoy chewing on your new designer shoes, then you will want to consider placing the shoe storage in a hard to reach spot, such as with elevated shelving. 

A closet organizer component can make it easy on you since it has built-in shoe storage. You'll only need one unless, of course, you have a lot of shoes.

Many types of shoe storage are available, so it's up to you to decide which will work for the storage space that you have. Don't be afraid to mix and match! Different shoes call for different kinds of shoe storage.
