Custom made to fit all my different height boots and shoes! :) Andrea on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236945 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:48:09 +0000 Andrea 1236945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a closet, but I need more shoe racks or something. Now that the baby is walking and will start wearing shoes ... our shoe situation is going to be out of control! I have 2 girls! Eeeek! theonewhere on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236939 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:45:14 +0000 theonewhere 1236939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We live in a storage-starved condo with an open layout. For our most frequently worn shoes, I have this narrower IKEA Hemnes cabinet in our own narrow entryway: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60156121/#/80156120" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60156121/#/80156120</a> I store boots on the floor of our closet, and my other shoes inside the door on my side of the closet. cascademom on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236871 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:23:45 +0000 cascademom 1236871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a simple boot mat thing where shoes go. LO's shoes have been added to the mix. It may change in the future, but for now, it's good for our amount of shoes.

We are moving next week so I have to measure the entryway to see if it would even fit! A lot of my friends just store their shoes in their closets but that idea freaks me out for shoes that you have just worn outside or wear often. My mom is Korean so we were raised to not wear our shoes in the house. I still get super uneasy when I go to friends' houses and they just walk right in and tell me to do the same.

The bad thing is that our boots don't fit on it, so we have them next to the bench. spaniellove on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236252 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:46:30 +0000 spaniellove 1236252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our not ideal solution: I've been piling shoes in the garage and my husband straightens them so we don't trip over them or (worse) drive over them, but as it gets colder I want to move them inside so the leather doesn't get ruined. I'd like to find a tall cubby-type solution for the laundry room so our most frequently worn shoes can live there.

Think the IKEA expedit but small and you can only fit one shoe in each slot (or you can stack flats). I hate that thing though. For the kids we have the tiny kids shoe rack (like two little black vinyl shelves) that sit right below their coat hooks. I really wish we had a coat closet but alas, no closets in our place (only in bedrooms) so it's hooks and shelves for us. How about a bench with slide-out basket drawers? We have one of those for slippers, flip flops, and sneakers. Our bags get stacked on top. court_schaeff on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236068 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:53:06 +0000 court_schaeff 1236068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a shoe rack although Im the only one who knows who to use it. Biggest pet peeve! looch on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236040 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:40:51 +0000 looch 1236040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We come in via the garage most days, so we dump our shoes in the laundry room. I need a boot tray for the wet/snowy conditions and I try really hard to only keep out seasonally appropriate shoes (otherwise my son will put on sandals to go play in the snow). mrs. bird on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236034 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:39:26 +0000 mrs. bird 1236034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ in a pile. hahaha. in the front we have a cube cubby thing, at the backdoor, they pile up on a mat, it's not pretty, but no one sees them. twodoghouse on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236033 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:39:00 +0000 twodoghouse 1236033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We put them in our front closet, too. If the shoes are snowy/wet, we leave them at the rugs at the back door or garage (depending where we are coming in from) and move them into the closet once they are dry. autumnlove on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236028 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:37:04 +0000 autumnlove 1236028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hanging shoe racks in our front closet.

Our current entryway doesn't have room for a shoe storage area, but in the future if we could fit it I think one of those open furniture pieces with cubbies would look really nice. pui on "How do you store shoes in your entryway?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-store-shoes-in-your-entryway#post-1236019 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 11:34:15 +0000 pui 1236019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have a shoe rack in our front hall closet.

Olive is still kinda obsessed at 2 though. ;) We do have a coat closet, but I'm afraid that the shoes will probably just end up sitting in the entryway and not put away. If we have a shoe cabinet though, I think the kids are much more likely to put their shoes away.

Even with a room full of toys he always crawls over to the shoes and starts throwing them. Sorry, not very helpful!

On the lookout for another attractive solution that holds a lot of shoes. Esp in the winter when we all have at least two pairs of shoes (snow boots, rain boots, sneakers, etc.) I came across this one from the Container Store that will fit our entryway: <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/?productId=10029305" rel="nofollow">http://www.containerstore.com/shop/?productId=10029305</a> How do you store shoes in your entryway?
