Shoes! Keeping tidy/storing etc

[NoNamesLeft86]

I have 4 kids and the shoes are driving me insane. No space for any storage in hallway at all. Shoes that are not used often are kept in their rooms but realistically, most of the shoes are used frequently - school shoes, trainers, wellies, crocs each, same for me really plus walking boots for walking the dogs in poor weather.

How do you store yours? I must be missing something because its constant shoe caos!

We have a cupboard with doors that we shove all our shoes in. It's not ideal, and still chaotic! Ideally I'd have a lovely unit with boxes for each persons shoes and hooks for everyone's coats, but we haven't really got space. Will be interested to read other replies!

I have two large boxes stacked in the understairs cupboard. In the bottom box we keep shoes not used as often and the top box keep the shoes we use daily. I then have a box of heels which I keep in my wardrobe. It's not ideal at all but I can't stand them just chucked all over the hallway! Also had a light installed in the cupboard to make them easier to find.

This any good? They're very shallow.

Same problem here. Mostly solved with one of these fabric storage baskets each in different colours / patterns. The large ones for adults, smaller for children. There are always special offers on them, so not as pricey as they seem.

Ikea Kallax cube with storage boxes in. We each have a box for our shoes. We have room in the hallway though.

I have the Ikea hemnes stand shown up thread. It’s great for our narrow hallway and stores a fair amount of shoes. The less often ones are kept in peoples wardrobes. The drawer at the top is where I keep all the rolls of poo bags, torches and our packamacs.

Lol. We had a shoe cupboard in the hall that couldnt be opened for the huge pile of shoes in front of it. I concluded it was an issue storage couldnt resolve.

OMG - the self assembly instructions for that IKEA unit!!

@Aridane, Ikea make it easy for you, you just lay it out exactly like the pictures. Hundreds of thousands of these things are sold and assembled.

There are videos on YouTube of the assembly talking you through pretty much all Ikea items. one is for that shoe cabinet.

I think if it were me and I didn't have any hall storage, I would make the children remove their shoes and take them upstairs immediately. Our shoe storage isn't in the hall but a room next to it so we carry our shoes through to there every day.

Thank you. Im wondering if i have space for some of those ikea shoe cabinets in my hall but in not sure. The hallway is litrally the width of the front door and leads straight to the stairs and then 2 doors off the hall for the downstairs rooms.

Ive ordered an over the door shoe holder that wont look great but may save my sanity, I'm hoping it will go on the back door to hold the crocs etc for popping into the garden.

NoNames- my hallway is the same. It works fine. It actually stops us puttin stuff in front of it as it makes it too narrow to pass.
I put it together myself with no bother. The only problem came as we have high skirting boards and had to mount above them. The front legs are an inch off the ground and currently propped up on playing cards until we get 2 balls as leg extensions.
