    If you’re like us and believe one can never have too many shoes, you’ve likely accumulated quite the collection. With our easy-to-try ideas, get it organized, whether you focus on heels, athletic shoes, or just seasonal footwear.

Ideas For All Shoes

 

  • Under-the-bed drawers: Tossing an old dresser? Save the drawers and rest them under your bed as shoe storage. For extra mobility, add wheels to drawers with our instructions.
  • CratesCrates: Stack crates to form a storage center. Go rustic with wooden crates from farmers markets, or find plastic crates at most major retailers. Try grouping four crates together and sort shoes by the season.
  • Trash bins: Don’t let the title fool you—purchased new from a store, medium-sized, cylinder-shaped trash bins can be horizontally clustered together, creating cubbies for shoes. Unused silver paint cans or even mailboxes work, too! 

Ideas For Heels

 

  • LaddersLadders: Leaned against a wall, a ladder can be used for hanging heels from each rung. Simply treat your shoes’ heels as if they’re hooks.
  • Molding: Mount strips of molding to a closet or bedroom wall, creating a ledge heels can hang from. Just rest the tip of each heel on the ledge; gravity does the rest.

Grouping Ideas: Arrange heels by color, material, occasion or frequency of wear.

 

Ideas For Out of Season Footwear

 

  • Plastic bins: Since they minimize moisture, plastic bins are best for last season’s shoes. To prevent shoes from getting squished in large bins, rest four boxes (equal in height) on the base, set a piece of cardboard on top, and you’ll have a second level for more shoes. Or, store each pair of shoes in an individual-sized container.
  • Luggage: It’s likely already taking up space, so why not make use of luggage? During winter, store sandals. And in summer, give boots a snug home; just be sure to stuff with tissue paper or inserts to help maintain their shape.

Quick Tip

Febreze To keep floors cleaner for longer, take care of messes as they occur. Swiffer® WetJet® cleaner solutions are formulated to break up and dissolve tough messes, lifting them off the floor so the thick WetJet pad can trap and lock them away.
