My clogs andbirkies go in an old wooden drawer that I keep under the bed. Cover the entire thing with an old towel, keeps out dust. I wash the towel once a month! This works for me.

Catalog Shoes

As professional organizer, I come across clients with well over 100 pairs of shoes and boots. I take a photo of each shoe, add a number to the box and create a table of the photo with the number under it. I print them out and put them in a binder. I have been doing this for years and it works great!

Well...

I'll tell you, those wire racks you get at Target for $9 are worse than laying them all out on the floor. Suggest not buying this.

Book Case

I store shoes on a book case at the back of my closet. If I had more room in my entry way, I'd do cubby holes. Boots are a challenge - I try to take them off as soon as I come in so they don't track "winter" all over the house.
