apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Yep.

no.

They're not called "high heels" for nothing...

eew.

forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously?

only if this were INSIDE my closet. where shoes belong...

what the heck? ew.

I don't see the problem with this, if you're viewing your shoes as art -- and if they're not too dirty. But I store my shoes in the closet: Flats and sneakers on floor-to-ceiling shelving, boots and fancy shoes in clear Container Store boxes in built-in cabinets.

I would so do this in my closet ~ not so much outside. I do have an entire unusable wall in the closet that has loads of hooks for my jewelry and scarves and a couple of Trones cabinets for shoes. This would be perfect along the top of the wall and would give me more space in the Trones.

not a fan, unless they were fabulous vintage heels meant for display only

I collect vintage shoes (small collection) and I have been looking for a display idea!

I did not like the idea on the main page of AT and I still don't like the look here in Los Angeles----it really goes beond the idea of shoes hanging for all to see. It say's something about the person who would do this (what I'm not sure at this point).
Vintage shoes on a shelf or displayed on say cubes hung on a wall is something totally different! That I would find a fun touch.

But this isn't the best angle to display them as art. Who wants to see your insoles, no matter how expensive or pristine? Put them up on the ledge, not hanging down.

Ugh.
Put them on a shelf inside the closet or a cabinet where they belong - this is so much visual clutter (as well as a dust-catcher)

This might look better lower down on a wall?
Mashalla has a similar concept here (third photo down):

I'm with palmetto... anyway it's only going to work with stripper heels.

and there's something weird about it. I think it's because they're shoes but they're up high. It feels topsy turvey.

yeah, not so much.

i love this idea -- it's a form of art. too bad i don't have that many heels.

Wouldn't these just be covered in dust within a week? Mine get dusty even behind closed closet doors.

Just wondering.

I want to like this, but there's just something not quite right about having to crane my neck to look up at shoes.

OK idea in theory, but I second the too dusty comments.

uhmm---no. Am I the only person who keeps her shoes in the boxes they came in? (and writes on the box where I bought them, when I bought them, and the price :)

It is cute but it appears as clutter to me.

while I do not care for this at all, I can see why this would be a good solution for a very small space.

This is the second shoe on the wall thing I've seen in as many days. Shoes are dirty. The idea of them being at eye-level just seems gross. If they were cleaned and put in a display case that would be one thing, but I don't think this is such a great way to display them.

are you kidding me right now? ai, k-tacky....on so many levels.
