***Shoe Organizers to Tame Your Whole Collection

We all know a shoe addict. Ever since Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker made her love of Manolo Blahnik’s known as Carrie Bradshaw on HBO’s hit show, women around the globe have been justifying their enormous shoe collections. As Carrie famously said on the show, “I like my money right where I can see it – hanging in my closet.”

Women these days don’t just purchase shoes – they collect them, like a stamp collector collects stamps or an antique dealer peruses flea markets for treasures. Shoes are one of the greatest assets to a woman’s wardrobe. A great pair can turn an outfit instantly from drab to fab. Not to mention, they fit women of all shapes and sizes. While overweight women struggle to find clothes that flatter and fit and overly slim women struggle to find belts tight enough to hold up their jeans, shoes don’t discriminate. Sure, they come in sizes – but they fit everyone, no matter what your weight or body type.

Pear shaped, boy shaped – shoes don’t care! They’re just looking to make your feet happy. Perhaps this is the reason behind the modern day woman’s addiction to shoes – or perhaps, shoes are just too beautiful to resist. Whatever the reason, shoes are at the top of the average American female’s shopping list, season after season. This results in a shoe pileup in even the most organized of closets.

When you have too many shoes, you’ve got nowhere to put them. This article is here to rescue you, shoe addicts. We’re going to show you how to organize your shoe collection so that you know what you have and you can find it easily.

Multi Shoe Rack Tower

The simplest solution for shoe storage is a shoe rack tower. This stackable storage solution allows for 20, 30 and 50 pairs of shoes, and easily fits inside your current closet or wardrobe with a slim shape. This organizer is easy to assemble, so you can do it even if your man isn’t home. None of those complicated illustrated Ikea directions – this is simple assembly!

But don’t think this storage solution isn’t sturdy – it’s comprised of steel and polymer, so it can stand up to the weight of even your heaviest studded Louboutins. Each rack is 10 inches deep, so it can accommodate all shoe sizes easily. This kind of storage unit stacks your rows of shoes, putting them right on eye level so that you can easily see what shoes you have and what shoes you want to wear on any given day. Why not put it where you can see it?

Under Bed Shoe Organizers

If your closet has seen better days and is currently so overstuffed that you can’t possibly imagine fitting anything else inside it, consider an underbed shoe organizer. Perfect for those with small bedrooms and even smaller closets, underbed shoe organizers make use of the space you’re not using for anything else. So what if you have 59 pairs of black wedges? We’re not judging! But might we suggest that you put the 12 least worn pairs under your bed in this sturdy case? This case separates shoes by pair but features a see-through zippered cover, so you can easily access your shoes and see what you’ve got in your collection. With handles and a rigid bottom, this storage solution is at once sturdy and collapsible. Pull it out, and slide it back in – voila, you’re done!

Overdoor Shoe Rack

Another great space saving option is to opt for an over the door shoe rack. This storage solution hangs over your door or permanently mounts on your wall, giving you the chance to find the right pair of shoes in a flash! You’ll always be able to see what you need to find, because it’s right there on your door! Save valuable floor space and save under the bed space for your out of season sweaters by using an over the door shoe rack, which has a separated section for each pair of pumps. With polymer sides and steel rods to keep either 24 or 36 pairs of shoes visible, this sturdy storage solution gives you what you need, when you need it.

Clear Shoe Boxes

If organization is your forte, and you like to keep your precious shoes clean and clear of dust, consider clear boot and shoeboxes. These plastic boxes don’t just keep your shoes in order; they keep them clean and free of those pesky dust mites that always seem to work their way into your shoe storage! Because these boxes are clear, you can easily spot your shoes in your closet without having to rummage through the old cardboard boxes in which they came. These boxes are also great for storing other accessories, such as bags, belts, scarves and more.

With so many clever storage solutions on the market, you’ll tame your mountain of shoes in no time at all!
