How many pairs of shoes do you own? You don’t really have to answer that, but my daughter has 10 pairs and she’s only 6. Wrangling a family’s footwear is certainly a challenge—the solution I’ve heard time and time again sounds easy enough: find each pair of shoes a home. But finding space for that home can be tricky. Luckily shoe organizers come in all sorts of configurations.
Check out these shoe storage ideas for something that works for you and your space.
1
W-Home Do-It-Yourself Shoe Rack
With these multi-tiered rack, you can assign one tier to each family member. This unit holds up to 27 pairs and is configurable, so you can store boots or shoes still in the box.

Sunbeam Shoe Closet with Dust-Free Cover
This rack is similar to the one above, with one crucial difference: a cover that protect kicks from dust and sunlight. Keep in mind, though, that the extra step of opening the cover might inhibit kids (and grownups) from putting their shoes away properly.

Over-the-Door Wall Hanging 36-Pair Shoe Rack
The little used space behind the closet door is valuable real estate. Allocate that for storage of up to 36 pairs of shoes.
Under the bed is a great place to store special-occasion shoes, such as your high heels or wing tips. You can also keep out-of-season shoes here too (boots in the summer, sandals in the winter).
