Hang up your shoes, or use them to store sweaters, handbags and more.

By , About.com Guide

Hanging shoe racks are a great addition to any closet -- and not just for shoes -- think about all of the potential uses:

  • For Kids: T Shirts, shorts, onsies, booties, etc.
  • For Women: Handbags, scarves, tights, leggings, etc.
  • For Men: Accessories, sunglasses, umbrellas, etc.

Get creative! Hanging shoe bags: we're not just for shoes anymore.

The basic hanging shoe organizer comes in 3 colors to match the interior of your closet and holds 10 pairs of shoes. I would recommend this for kids shoe storage since they tend to have fewer pairs than their moms, or for a man with a smaller shoe collection.

For women, I would recommend this option for storing small handbags and clutches and other assorted accessories.

Features:

  • Size: 6W x 12D x 54H Inches
  • Hold 10 pairs of shoes
