Color Coded Shoe Collection

We've seen abundant book collections arranged by color. And closets arranged by color. Which brings us to this shoe collection...

These shoes were actually part of a vintage shoe sale: their striking color-coded organization on a field of wire mesh looks striking. And, while books arranged by color may look cool, arranging shoes and other apparel by color is quite practical, too.

I got a 2 on this test---

Too Imelda-y.

Call me a dork, but I've been arranging my clothes in the closet in rainbow order for 25 years. I love how easy it makes choosing an outfit.

My first thought too: Imelda Marcos

I rainbow my shoes too, love being able to pick the right pair in a second...or two.

I love it when thrift and vintage stores arrange things by color.

Phew! I was thinking this was someone's closit. yeah, as a store display it's great. But I don't have anywhere near the color range for this to look good with my wardrobe. Or even my bookshelf.

i went to art school before switching careers, and my books, clothing and shoes are all arranged ROYGBIV. makes it so much easier to get dressed in the morning

Anyone else find it odd there'e only 1 pair of white shoes?!
Not much of a summer partier.

I sort my shoes by color, too. I really like doing it that way, and my storage solution, though I don't know how it would scale up.
