It can be tricky to find somewhere to store all of your shoes. Oftentimes, people end up with rows of shoes lined up next to their front doors, or — even worse — may find themselves with disorganized shoes strewn about the floors of their closets.
While clothing can typically be folded in a way that takes up as little space as possible, it’s not as easy to devise ways to make your shoes and boots take up less space — and this challenge becomes particularly daunting when you live in a small space.
Luckily, there are many brands out there that sell shoe shelves just to help with this frustrating storage problem. They come in different materials, from stainless steel to wood, to accommodate different tastes and styles. Moreover, some are equipped with wheels on the bottom for convenient portability.
To help you easily sift through the options, FN has rounded up some of our favorite shoe shelves designed to vastly increase the amount of storage space you have. Not all are the same — some fold up for easy storage when not in use while others hang from a rod in your closet.
