organize your shoes

Organising and storing your shoes
from findmyshoes.com



Whilst most of us love to shop for shoes, shopping for shoe storage organisers is not quite as much fun. The options are endless and there's nothing worse than having forked out for a gorgeous shoe rack and then realise it only holds a third of your shoe collection. Soon you end up with a bewildering assortment of shoe storage units in every room of the house.
Step 1. Collate all your shoes in the middle of the room .

Step 2. Divide them into "shoes you wear every day" and "special occasion" shoes. Then sort by colour or style within each group. Further sort each group by season.

Step 3. Eliminate duplicates, shoes that don't fit and ones that are past their use-by date.

Step 4. If you've got 12 pairs or less, try looking for a shoe rack or cabinet. Over 12 shoes, you can't go past clear shoe boxes for their versatility and stackability. You can just keep adding and stacking boxes as you increase your shoe collection.

Step 5. The best clear shoe boxes have a slide-out drawer which makes getting your shoes in and out much easier than the ones with envelope openings. Try www.benjibox.com.au to order online.


Step 6. Assemble the boxes in your wardrobe or on shelves in a shoe closet. Place the current season's daily favourites front and centre. Out-of-season and special occasion shoes can go higher up or lower down. Help your shoes keep in shape by stuffing with tissue paper (or inflatable inserts for boots).

Step 7. Repeat next season!

MY THOUGHTS

A perennial problem! Now it's not just shoes. not there's slippers to organize. i love these shoe bags that i got from bangkok. they are great for organizing shoes while traveling. then i realized they're good for storage, too.
