We've already talked about the challenges of boot storage, precisely, boots tend to topple over, so it's hard to line them up neatly without some support. Now we'll go over the most common types of boots and I'll suggest some storage options.
Booties
Booties are a challenge because they typically do not fit into regular-sized shoe cubbies or shoe racks, so, shoe shelves to the rescue!
Boot Storage Solutions:
- Store them in-season on adjustable shoe shelves.
- Store them out-of-season in boot boxes.
Cowboy Boots
This is a separate category because the shafts of cowboy boots don't slouch, meaning you can line them up in your closet or entry way without fear that they will topple over into a messy pile on the floor.
- If you store boots in the closet, you can hang them or line them up side by side with boot shapers.
- If you store them in the foyer, try a boot and shoe tray. (I wear my Frye boots constantly so they are stored on a boot and shoe tray.)
Knee-High & Over-the-Knee Boots
Since these are usually made of very slouchy fabric, you need to keep them upright.
Boot Storage Solutions:
- If you have the hanging space, best bet is to hang the slouchy ones on your closet rod with a boot holder.
- If you are working within a smaller closet, you can tuck these boots into a hanging shoe rack.
- Out-of-season, store these in a shoe box.

Ski Boots
Ski boots (like skis) will spend the majority of their life in storage, rather than in use, so it's important to consider where and how they will be stored.
