Simple ways to store and protect your shoes

Are shoes multiplying at the bottom of your wardrobe? Taking over the floor and driving you up the wall? Give them the storage and protection they deserve for a clutter-free, organised wardrobe. Sorting your shoes could save you money too.

Whether you stick to the basics or collect them with a passion, neatly stored shoes mean there’s no time spent hunting for matching pairs before stepping out. Clever, stylish shoe protection for all budgets and bedrooms makes it easy to keep footwear in good shape so it lasts longer. Putting your shoes on show means you can see what you have – and what you still need to buy.

You care for your shoes with cleaning, conditioning, polishing, deoderising and weatherproofing. But they’ll last even longer if they’re stored with care like all your other fashion items. And you’ll find them faster too.

Organising shoes properly can also save money. How many times have you brought home a new pair only to find later that you have a pair (or two) that are almost exactly the same? You just couldn’t see them.

Keeping shoes in clear view means you’ll also see when they need repairs or cleaning instead of finding out just as you’re about to put them on.

Climb the doors and walls

Save straining your back by getting your shoes up off the floor. Behind the door you can store 10 pairs of shoes in neat pockets in an Over the Door Shoe Organiser. Anywhere on the wall, the Wall Mounted 21 Pair Shoe Rack will help keep shoes in good shape, within reach and properly organised so you can make an easy selection.

Built-in organisation

If you’re designing a custom-built wardrobe, include built-in shoe shelves or space for portable racks. Choose a flexible system, so you can add to it in the future. You can add a Hanging Shoe Organiser over the wardrobe rail that provides 10 pairs of shoes within reach, right among your outfits. Make room for two and that’s 20 pairs in easy view, all the time.

Boxed beauties

Your special shoes deserve luxury treatment. Clear acrylic Stackable Shoe Cubes for individual pairs keep the dust off, prevents scuffing and displays your favourites, in boutique style. Small and large, Shoe Drawers also give the ultimate shoe protection for stylish storage to keep shoes looking brand new.

Round them up

Put an end to messy piles of shoes dropped at the door by busy kids. For a tidy utility room or for the family collection by the front door or on the veranda, a four-tiered shoe rack is the perfect way for busy families to keep shoes neat.

Racks of style

Too good to hide away, two-tiered shoe racks in bamboo or chrome with timber trim can fit in a wardrobe, but they look great on show too. Leaving shoes on the floor will never seem right again. Howards have thought of everything and even have clever extendable shoe racks that grow with your shoe collection.
