Top 7 Shoe Storage Products - Shoe Racks, Boxes and Organizers

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Shoe storage - from shoe racks to shoe boxes; and shoe bags to shoe closets, the options are endless. But, if you're like me, you might not have given much thought to organizing your shoes. After all, who wants to shop for a shoes rack, when you could be shopping for shoes. But when you realize there are no less than five pairs of shoes (all belonging to one person!) residing under your kitchen table. It's time to start shopping for shoe storage - here are a few really great shoe organizers.

1. Clear, Cool Shoebby - My New Favorite Shoe Boxes

When it comes to shoe boxes, I have a very simple theory: clear is cool. And these clear shoe boxes are the coolest. They have a slide-out "drawer," little rubber feet that allow them to be neatly stacked, and a handle for carrying -- genius! You can learn more about them in my review, or head straight to the Shoebby Web Site to check out all the details.

2. Shoe Rack - Freestanding Storage for 50 Pairs of Shoes

Oh my, this shoe rack is cool. If you have a space about 36 inches wide, ten inches deep, and less than five feet tall, this is the shoe rack for you. It is freestanding, and the seller claims it locks together easily in seconds. Holding up to fifty pairs of women's shoes, this may just be the shoe rack of your dreams. Also available is a thirty pair model - but, who are they kidding? (Image provided by StacksandStacks.com)

3. Mesh Shoe Shelves

These stackable mesh shelves would be great for storing anything, but are ideal for shoes. They have a clean, streamlined appearance, and can be stacked on any flat surface.

4. Over-the-Door Shoe Rack

This over-the-door shoe rack will hold up to one dozen pairs of shoes and will easily hang over most hinged doors. My favorite thing about this system is that it displays the shoes upright and facing forward. It also has adjustable shelves to accommodate shoes of any height.

5. Expandable Chrome Shoe Rack

In addition to getting big points for being chrome, this shoe rack is also expandable from 25 inches to 46 inches wide, accommodating a lot of shoes. It has a very clean and contemporary look, and would be the perfect shoe rack for anyone who is looking to turn a bit of extra shelf space into a happy place for shoes.

6. Double Shoe Rack for Elfa Systems

Okay, this shoe rack is really cool if you or someone you know is not opposed to doing a little handy work. The shoe racks (sold individually) will each hold six pairs of women's shoes, and attach to two Elfa "Easy Hang Standards" - also sold separately. This is a little more expensive of a shoe storage system, and requires more work, but looks like a great and sturdy shoe rack. Be sure to check out the various color options.

7. Storage for Up to Twelve Pairs of Shoes

These shoe organizers have open ends for easy access. One version of this stackable cubby holds 15 pair of shoes, and the other holds 25. Perfect if you're looking for easy access to your shoes, and want a clean design, you should definitely check out these shoe organizers.
