Shoe Organization


Shoes in your closet may be "organized" whether they are in a particular pile or a neatly sorted bin. For my family, most difficulty is found outside of the closet.

How do we keep from loosing the "Cars" shoes or the "pretty pink sandals" along with our minds on the days when we should've been there already?


My solution was to strategically place a cubby hole shoe organizer by our back door.


  • This organizer is found by walking through tile flooring.
  • No one digs through a box of shoes to find their own matching pair.
  • All family members can easily find/reach and put away their own shoes.
  • Easy training for the family as organization expectations are clear.
  • When there are too many shoes to fit - time to take them to personal closets.
  • There is room for a small basket on top of the box for hats.
  • If a coat rack is also needed, I would suggest placing one above the shoe box, and using a basket atop for hats, mittens etc.
If this tip fits, please use it.
