Shoe organizing for big family teeny home

6 replies

OneHeartyCat · 02/09/2024 19:34

very curious how others store shoes? We don’t wear shoes in the home to minimize the dirt. As a result, there’s always a huge pile of shoes by the front door. We rent so installing anything might be more bother than it’s worth fixing and don’t have enough room to use a bench- it’s a very teen squished entry way. Im considering just a big basket? But maybe I need something I can wash? Would love to know how others manage

We use a tall skinny bookshelf - DH shoes at the top (he’s tall) then mine then kids.

We have a teeny tiny porch space and we just have a couple of baskets - one for adults and one for children - squashed in there. Has worked ok for 16 years so far.

This has been the most successful so far. A Lidl special with a good drying system at the top. We try to do one on/one off so slippers take the place of day shoes.
Out of season stuff goes in washing baskets (air circulation stops mildew) in the store room.

We have a narrow ikea shoe rack under the stairs. Hallway isn't wide enough for one of the shoe cabinets.

We have shoes off in the house too and just keep them in the bottom of the wardrobes. No need to leave them in piles in the hallway. Especially muddy trainers or wellies go in the garage or under stairs cupboard.
