How to Store Your Shoes

Does it ever feel like you’re always tripping over shoes in the entryway? Wearing the same shoes over and over even though you have more. Losing shoes in the bottom of your closet? Asking others to pick up and put away his or her shoes?

Shoe storage is one of the top issues in homes. So if you have not come up with a great storage plan for shoes try this:

1. Choose a storage solution see shoe storage ideas

2. Put storage for shoes in the entryway and in bedrooms or bedroom closets (shoes do not work well on the floor of closets)

3. Gather the family and set a timer for thirty minutes and have a shoe fashion show, everyone tries on all their shoes and only keeps the ones they love

4. Each person gets a few spots for storage and they can fill all but two of the spots with shoes that they love, are in season and that fit them today

5. Out of season or future sizes are to be stored in a clearly labeled container

6. Use the open spots in the storage container for future shoe purchases because we know we’ll get more shoes

That’s it! Following these six simple steps makes shoe storage a breeze!

Until next Monday I hope you have a clutter-free week, Jamie

PS If you come across old worn out sneakers consider donating them to Nike, they use the soles to make basketball courts learn more here
