From , former About.com Guide

Since there are many shoe storage solutions available, it can be overwhelming when determining which one will best suit your needs. These versatile, stylish and affordable options can help you maximize space and easily organize your shoes.

Space-Saving Shoe Storage Options

Typically, shoe storage is placed on the floor in your closet or on the shelf. To maximize the space in your closet and room, there are alternative options to consider.

  • Under bed storage is an efficient way to accommodate infrequently used shoes such as seasonal or special occassion.
  • Clear storage containers not only protect your shoes from dust and damage but they allow you to easily view your shoes.
  • Storing your shoes under your bed skirt is a unique and efficient solution.
  • Hang shoes on the back of your bedroom or closet door.
  • Budget-Friendly Tip: use original shoe boxes and store them under your bed.

Shoe Storage for Alternative Shoe Styles

  • Shoe storage boxes in a variety of sizes help to store and protect your high heels and boots.
  • Storage containers maximize the space by stacking them on top of each other.
  • Clear containers help to easily identify your shoes.
  • Store sandals and flip flops in a separate holder. This is also an easy do-it-yourself project!
