It’s safe to say that shoe organization has been the bane of everyone’s existence at one point or another. Including ours. That’s why this week at dressCODE, we’ve decided to tackle the shoe issue once and for all. No matter your storage problem - whether it’s being tight on space, low on cash, or downright tired of trying to keep those bad boys organized - we’ve got you!
And bonus: we’re breaking this list up into categories, because like their owners, every closet has unique and different needs. So mix and match or pick your favorite.
Here are our top options for stellar Shoe Racks, Over The Door Storage, Closet Hanging, Out of Sight, and Individual Storage organizers...all for under $30!
