Boots can be stored on hangers... To do this, you need to buy special hangers with clips and use the latter to attach boots. The boots can be hung up, after which they will take up much less space than during normal storage. A non-standard accessory in the form of a volumetric glass flask can be used if you decide to keep a commemorative pair. In it, it will look like a home museum exhibit.

The pull-out design is a small open cabinet. Shoes are simply put on the shelves, which immediately slide back. As a rule, on one shelf, products can be placed in several rows (usually in two rows), they are also equipped with heel stands that allow you to set shoes in a semi-standing position. In a small apartment, you can install hidden storage systems with pull-out shelves. The most common options are the bottom of the cabinets, stairs, and others.

All kinds of organizers have already become a favorite way to store not only thousands of little things, but even shoes. They can be either ordinary, with square divisions, or round. All of them have a hanger and are hung on the crossbar of the cabinet. The grid can serve as an analogue of the organizer. It is especially convenient for storing rigid models.

Nowadays, many interior parts are made from building pallets, including beds, sofas, seats, and so on. The construction of a shoe rack made from a construction pallet is so simple that you can make the product yourself. A standard building pallet needs to be sawn in half and the two "floors" stitched together. If desired, you can paint the finished product in a bright color. The stand takes up little space, but it is quite roomy.

Review your shoes regularly. Get rid of not only unnecessary products, but also those models that have not been worn for more than 3 years. According to various polls, such models will no longer be worn. But if the shoes are still stale and you do not plan to get rid of them, then it is sometimes necessary to ventilate them.

It is best to divide the storage system into zones appropriate for each family member.... Simply put, each family member should have their own shelf or part of the shelf that will only store their shoes. If you are ready for additional financial costs, the storage system can be equipped with heating and even ventilation. This is especially true for those whose shoes are constantly getting wet due to their activity.
