I have a shoe shelf inside my wardrobe. Doesn't stop me keeping extra shoes strewn all over my room though!

My shoes are kept downstairs in cupboards in the garage, don't want to stink out my room!

I say both! So you can put your winter shoes away in summer and vice versa :)

My shoes are in my wardrobe but are all over the place, I find it so hard to keep them tidy!

i shoes to store them under my bed, except for my runners #gross

I tend to store them in/around my floor-drobe (aka littered throughout the house as obstacles for my dog to jump over)

Outside. You don't keep shoes inside in the tropics...you certainly don't put them in a cupboard...eewwww

Good shoes in the walk-in-robe, hiking boots, joggers, work-boots etc on top of the old piano in the garage. Anybody in Perth want an old piano? Some free shoes to go with it.

Everyday shoes on rack at front door.

I have a separate walk-in shoe cupboard (finally - yay!) that opens off the hall, just a simple cupboard that the previous owners had full of paint cans and spare wood (as soon as I saw it I had it labelled as my shoe cupboard) so I cleaned it up, painted it and had a couple of shelves put up. It's perfect, nowhere near clothes, it's near enough to the front door so once shoes are aired they can be popped in, close enough to my wardrobe if I want to try any on with an outfit, and also on the way out so I can grab the ones I want to wear as I go.

I have never stored shoes with clothes, only clean clothes together anything else separately no matter how little space I have had. The shoe cupboard has two shelves for shoes (about 50 pairs both fun/work and functional like walking boots, dance practice shoes, rock scrambling shoes, trainers etc) and luggage kept up above, large drawers below for shoe cleaning items, shoe horns, shopping bags and packaging items. All my shoes/boots are in their original boxes lined with tissue paper and with blocks of cedar to absorb moisture and smells ... with a photo of each pair on the front although I can just tell from the box anyway. (Feels like a confession ;-)

In an enormous shared pile at the front door. One day I will invest in a basket for all our shoes. Though now with a toddler who loves shoes they are want to walk away all on their own! Has anyone seen my slipper!

I don't think I will ever own enough shoes to need a cupboard for them.

I tried many "Systems", they all failed. went to boxes, worked much better, now we have one bin for hubby (does not believe in more than 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of slippers per season. goodie, more for me. me, 2 bins, 1 summer, 1 winter. change seasons, rotate the bins under the bed. Yay! neat and tidy, I ask for no more than that.

Does everyone see the multiple faces in that closet?

No.

no? I see a chubby cheeked man on top. There is a kitten. After i saw the gargoyle in the middle i quit. tehehe

No, neither can the two other residents of this house. We can see shoes.

I am sorry, must have said wrong. the wood wall next to the shoes. don't know why i thought it was a closet.

@havingfun, I can see the face.

at least now i know i am not crazy thank you. or maybe a little since i saw at least 3 to your one. lol

I found that a few basic towel rails mounted on the back of my wardrobe door works for me :D heels can hang on the rails, or i slot the toe of the shoes in behind the rail. If you've got a spare wall, mounting them on a wall would be even better....

and ballet flats in labelled boxes: 'Dark Coloured Flats' (navy, black) and 'Coloured Flats' (all the other colours ;) )

.....if you need inspo, just search 'shoe storage' on Pinterest. See you in a few hours. LOL

I store mine in thier boxes at the bottom of my wardrob, and the thongs and sandals in the draws of my wardrobe

I keep my shoes in the boxes they came in. They can be stacked without being crushed. Some shoe boxes have a picture of the shoes externally on the box, which is great for identifying the right pair. I am trying to buy a new pair throw an old pair out. Buying new shoes is such a treat that can border on obsession!
