How To Organize Shoes

First go through ALL your shoes. Sort into those you wear regularly and those for special occasions. To save room and make it easier to find the pair you want, you'll also want to sort by seasons. Be sure to donate pairs you don't wear or those that aren't comfortable. Discard any that are worn out or beyond repair. Now count how many pairs of each type you have, this will help you decide what type and how many organizers you'll need. 

If you're storing your shoes in your closet you have several options depending on your space. And for most people, a combination of shoe storage solutions works best.

Tiered shoe racks and shoe cubbies can often be stacked to make use of the vertical space beneath hanging clothes. These open solutions work well for shoes that you often wear.

If you have shelf space, stacking drawers, bins or drop-front organizers are a nice option - especially for shoes you don't wear all the time. These organizers protect your shoes from dust while giving you visibility and easy access to them without the need to shuffle boxes around. You'll even find stackable shoe bins and boxes especially made to accommodate tall heels, ankle boots, flats - even kid's shoes. This is a real plus when you're trying to maximize the space on your shelf! And of course, a custom closet design can accommodate shoes with multiple shoe shelves or gliding shoe racks.
