Calling all shoe lovers! You know that amazing feeling you get when you buy a new pair of shoes?
You can’t wait to get home and pick out an outfit that goes perfectly with your new footwear!
But, those lovely pair of shoes just ends up stuffed in a disorganized closet – unnoticed and rarely worn.
The only way to solve this problem is to find an easy shoe organization system!
When you have your shoes neatly organized and in plain view, you are far more likely to wear them more often and not keep the pairs that you really don’t like.
Double bonus – more fashion, less clutter!

The wire mesh used in this project is often used as display panels in boutiques and consignment shops.
This shoe storage idea is brilliant – especially if you have no room in your closet like me!

3.) Shoe Shelf

You can arrange your shoes in order of color and style – making it easy for you to make a style decision just before running out the door!

This shoe organizer is slightly different than the shoe shelf, providing each pair of shoes their own little storage box to save some extra space.
You can purchase these shoe organizers on Amazon.com or your local Walmart or Target.

These vintage crates are a classy way to store your kids shoes near the front entryway.

Here I go again with the Farmhouse Decor style! But these shoe crates are too cute to pass up!
You can recreate this look by buying several different sized crates – each to fit you and your family’s shoe sizes.
To fit with your decor style, you can even paint the crates to create an entryway statement piece.
9.) Closet Hanging Shelves
I know this style of shoe shelf may seem very unoriginal. But sometimes the ordinary way is the best way!
Plus, this shoe shelf got me through college dorm life and my first tiny apartment.
And I still have it, hanging in my spare bedroom holding extra shoes that I really need to throw out!
10.) DIY Wooden Shoe Rack

This DIY shoe rack is a great way to keep your shoes organized by the front door or in the coat closet.
During the wet winter months, you can place your gloves, mittens, and boots on these racks and put them near a heater, so they would be dry the next day. Brilliant!
