The Best Shoe Rack

When choosing a shoe rack, you should first consider your footwear collection. How many pairs of shoes do you have? Do you wear them all regularly? How many are shoes or sandals, as opposed to larger footwear, like boots?

Shoe racks come in a variety of sizes and styles, but you’ll want to be sure that the one you choose can accommodate all of the shoes you have. Some people choose to keep parts of their collection in storage or in less-accessible areas like the backs of their closets while setting their favorite sneakers or pumps out on a shoe rack for convenience.

You can find shoe racks that have just two tiers, as well as those with several. Some shoe racks are much wider than they are high, while others are just wide enough for one pair of shoes per shelf and are quite tall. This latter type of display is perfect for tight spaces or corners.

Shoe racks also come in a number of finishes, so it is easy to find one that matches your décor. From black to bronze to bamboo, there is sure to be a shoe rack perfect for your home.

When buying a shoe rack, don’t forget to consider the material it’s made of and how easy it would be to keep clean. Some models have removable fabric shelf covers that allow for easy machine washing.

• Count your shoes before you buy a shoe rack. Then, sort them so all of the pairs you wear most and would want to keep on your shoe rack are together. This will help guide your choice.
• If you are buying a very tall shoe rack, consider wall-mounting it, especially if you have small children or pets at home.
• Clean your shoe rack regularly with a wet wipe or moist paper towel. This will help keep your shoes dirt- and dust-free.
• Think about the overarching colors of your room when choosing a shoe rack. You should aim to either match your décor if you want your shoe rack to blend in, or contrast if you’d like to make a statement.
