Shoe Storage Bench

Why Shoe Storage Matters

My house is the perfect example of why we all need good shoe storage options. I have two children and have been a great shopper at garage sales. We have several pairs of shoes for each child, many that won't be worn for several years. The two adults in the house also have several pairs of shoes, everything from dress shoes to lawn mowing shoes. They all need to be kept in places where they can be found quickly and easily and not mess up any other pair of shoes in the area.

Our entry way has several pairs of shoes stacked on top of each other. We need to get a good outdoor friendly entryway shoe storage bench that can handle some of the muddier shoes that go through there. It doesn't have to look fancy, just organized and be able to handle dirt, grass, grime and mud.

Our front coat closet has no good organization to it. There are shoes, furniture cushions and heavy coats all in a pile on the bottom. We need to get rid of coats we don't wear, put the shoes in a nice bench and put the cushions back on the furniture.

Our closets also have shoes. For the children there are large cardboard boxes that have every pair of shoes they have no matter what the size. These need to be sorted and organized according to size, with the smallest ones going to other kids (anything we've outgrown). Shoes that are torn or damaged should be repaired or thrown away.

Basically we need to get a handle on all the shoes we have. Proper organization is important. So whether you want your shoes on the hallway, entryway, closet or just out in the open there are very nice storage options available to you.
