What is the best way to store shoes?
There are many ways to store shoes in order to best care for your treasured footwear. Don’t store shoes on the floor of your closet — they’re likely to get scuffed and dirty there. You can put them into boxes or stackable containers that won’t hide them so that they’re visible and easily accessible. Alternatively, hanging organizers that you can position prominently in your closet if you have the space are a good storage solution for your shoes. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage shoe storage options.

The best way to store shoes depends on your personal preferences and available space. Many people prefer to store their shoes in the original boxes. If you don't have enough room to accommodate a large collection of boxes, a shoe rack, shoe cupboard or hanging shoe organizer can allow you to keep your footwear organized. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of shoe racks and cupboards.
