Living in a city-sized apartment is not for the faint of heart, especially for anyone who loves clothes. As a shopping editor, it’s not at all surprising that I have an overflowing closet. I’ve found that one of the most difficult items to store is footwear; my closet floor is littered with flats, boots, and heels like confetti.
I’m taking matters into my own hands this year and making it my goal to declutter my shoes with effective storage solutions. Making the most of any available space in my home is a constant battle, but I’m managing with these helpful Wayfair finds, including an under-bed organizer, a shoe bench for my front door, and a wall-mounted rack for the ideal spot to finally store my clunky knee-high boots.
Keep reading to shop my top picks for organizing my shoe collection, with prices starting at $23.
Editor-Approved Shoe Storage at Wayfair
Rebrilliant Wall-Mounted Boot Rack
I have struggled to find an efficient way to store clunky shoes, like rain boots and knee-highs, for years. This wall-mounted rack is my dream solution for keeping footwear off the floor, freeing up space, and keeping my more delicate suede and leather boots scuff-free. Since I live in a city, I also hate the idea of keeping my germ-filled shoes on the floor, so these racks also eliminate that problem.
Red Barrel Studio Bamboo Shoe Bench
Shoe storage is great, but a functional piece that also doubles as seating is even better. This bamboo shoe bench is ideal for keeping my most-worn pairs near my front door while also offering a convenient spot to put them on and take them off. One shopper said they “love the tall cutout for storing my boots.”
ClosetMaid Under-Bed Fabric Storage Bin
I’m lucky enough to have a bed frame with hidden storage drawers underneath, but these fabric bins are still slim enough to slide under my couch. These are a great backup for any leftover shoes that won’t fit in my closet’s shelves. And, they’re not just a game changer for shoes but also serve as a spot to stow extra clothes and linens.
Rebrilliant Whitmore Over-Door Shoe Organizer
My closet door is currently bare, making this organizer a smart way to create more space for slim shoes like flats and loafers. One customer said it’s “well made” from a “very durable material,” while another reviewer mentioned it “even fits larger shoes.” If I don’t fill all 12 spots, I’ll pop in other accessories that need a home, such as belts and sunglasses.
