Have something to add? Please share your solution!Tip: By Monique3 FlagI've been trying for a long time to come up with an idea on how to store my many pairs of shoes. After a long time of thinking, I came up with the idea to store them on a chain.I bought two metres of link chain on Amazon and I purchased the 'S' hooks. Yesterday, the white plastic-coated hooks arrived and I tried out my idea. I put a white hook into the ceiling and then hung the chain from it. It is in a small hallway and the lowered part of the ceiling is the height of a inner door.
I managed to put seven pairs of my shoes onto the chain and a pair of long boots. I could quite easily have added 6- 7 more shoes instead of putting on the long boots. The boots were hung via a small bulldog clip holding them together.I am thrilled that it worked! I am now going to add a few chains in my walk-in wardrobe to store my other shoes and boots. The great thing about this idea is a column of shoes take up very little space and can hold many pairs of footwear. Oh, and did I mention that's it very thrifty? Source: My own idea Comment By Monique Flag0I am just as thrilled to know this tip helps someone else! I've been thinking that it could very well be used for alternate storage for handbags or even clothes on hangers.I'd welcome any other suggestions people may have.Reply By purplerose5 FlagI thought this would be an easy way of keeping track of your sandals. You can hang it in your closet. I'm going to put some flip-flops on it too. One hanger will hold about 3 or 4 pairs of flip-flops.

Flag0This is a great idea. I have several pairs of flip flops and I bought a flip flop hanger at Walmart that holds 10 pairs of flipflops but I needed more. I was going to buy another one at Walmart but then discovered that they stopped selling this product, so I was really happy to see this idea. I can hand the hanger onto my original flip flop holder and have more space for flip flops. Reply Tip: By Robyn0 Flag CommentPin It! I store high heels on one of my laundry baskets.

Comment Tip: 0 FlagWhen buying shoes, keep the boxes they come in. This way, they'll be protected from being knocked around in your closet, you won't have to worry about loosing one, and it's great at helping to keep your closet tidy. Comment Tip: By Elaine S.1 FlagUse your noodle, your swimming noodle that is. Insert it in your boots to keep them standing upright when not in use. This hint keeps them from falling over and getting crinkled. Comment Tip: By llpensinger1 FlagGo to Dollar Tree and buy plastic tub size shoe boxes that they have. The bottoms are see through and the plastic lid helps keep shoes in good condition. Comment Tip: By Pat1 FlagIf you can get hold of the cardboard boxes shoes are sold in (or you may have kept them anyway), I have heard a tip for taking a photo of each pair and sticking it to the front of the box, then stack the boxes up in an unobtrusive corner.
Comment Tip: By jld0 FlagI use one of those wood cubes with dividers. They hold up to nine pairs of shoes, but I have found that you can store umbrellas and other things in any sections you don't fill with shoes.

For shoes I don't wear a lot, I keep them stuffed with tissue paper. Comment QuestionsHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.Question: By Dale D.0 FlagSo, I have this space under the stairs, as you can imagine it is oddly shaped, but I managed to fit a bureau under there, and I use the drawers for gloves, hats, scarves, random electrical things, like extension cords, light bulbs, cell phone chargers, etc. My question is, I also try to keep our shoes under there in a plastic bin, but it is hard to get to and I bang my head. Where and how do you store your off season shoes, like winter boots, work boots, etc.?
By Dale D. Answer By jean Flag0there is always those plastic shoe hangers for the back of the doors.... or you might put them in a plastic tote and store in your basement or closet. i have a wooden seat where the seat lifts p and i put sandles etc in there. Reply By msjodiwms Flag0I store my off-season shoes in a plastic bin that has holes in it so the shoes can breathe. In fact I keep all my spring and summer casual shoes in this band, the dress shoes for the spring and summer are kept in a separate rack at the back of the closet near the other shoe rack. I store my socks, trouser socks and pantyhose and then over the rack shoe holder that hangs on the back of my closet. Reply Question: By Jayne0 FlagI am looking for a way to organize my shoes. I only own enough pairs to fit in a large plastic tote box, but I am finding out this is not a good way to keep your shoes. Not only can't you find pairs, but keeping them in a plastic box isn't a good idea. I don't have much space to work with.
Do any of you creative, thrifty readers have any ideas on how I might organize them? Thanks for your thoughts. Answer By Susan Sanders-Kinzel Flag0To better organize my shoes, I keep them in the boxes they came in and attach a picture of them to the end panel, so I'll know in a glance which pair is in which box.By Donna Reply By Jaclyn Flag0I've got a lot of extra hanging space in my closet but not a lot of floor space so I just hung all my heels on the hanging rack Reply Question: By Maryeileen0 FlagI live in a bungalow which has small bedroom closets. I need ideas on how to organize my shoes in my small closet. By Maryeileen from Brooklyn, OH Answer By Maryeileen Flag0I guess that I should have mentioned that I have a waterbed, so under-the-bed storage units won't work. Thanks for the other ideas, though. Reply By Lisa Flag0I use over-the-door storage for my shoes and smaller purses. It is made of clear plastic and holds 30+ pairs of shoes! Reply Question: By Onesummer0 FlagI have limited space in my closet.
Is it OK to store my shoes in one large brown cardboard/storage box? I was wondering if the shoes at the bottom of the box would lose their shape from the other shoes being stacked on top of them. By Onesummer Answer By Sheilah Link Flag0Yes, it will squish them out of shape if they are on top of one another. I never liked shoulder pads in clothes so I would cut them out and stuff them in the toes of shoes to hold the shape. Also I would let them aid dry 24 hours before putting them away. You need to find some way to store them without piling them on top of one another--some sort of shelving, even made out of boxes would help. Reply By sharon6345 Flag0I bought this from walmart because,I also have limited space here in my one bedroom. I have this right by my front door because I remove them as I walk in. Reply Question: By Onesummer0 FlagI have moved in with my cousin and have very limited closet space. I would like to know if it is okay to store my shoes in a cardboard box? By Onesummer Answer By Janus Flag0I hope so because I've been doing it for years.
