This Space-Saving Organizer Will Instantly Corral Your Overflowing Shoe Collection (Bonus: It’s On Sale!)

When it comes to accessories, I’m more of a handbag girl, myself. But even my shoe collection, which might be considered meager by other people’s standards, has a hard time fitting on the tiered rack by my front door. Not only that, but the horizontal shelving takes up so much floor space in my tiny, shared apartment, that it’s somewhat of an obstacle to squeeze around on the way to my room. The only silver lining of this annoying situation is that there are lots of storage solutions out there, mainly in the form of hanging wall and door organizers, many of which we’ve covered here at AT. But let’s say those surfaces in your home are already occupied — now what? Well, we recently came across a shoe rack on Wayfair that still sits on the floor but manages to take up way less real estate than traditional ones. Every small apartment needs this clever find.

Although the Wayfair Basics shoe rack measures just 12″ across, it can hold as many as 18 pairs of shoes at once. Its tiered hooks are great for holding sneakers, sandals, and other footwear that doesn’t go above the ankle. In other words, if you get it now, you’ll have it just in time for spring. And even if you’re dealing with a shoe collection that rivals Imelda Marcos’, you can keep your most worn flats on this rack and stow the rest away in your closet. We weren’t surprised to find that this product has more than 400 five-star reviews on Wayfair, with customers saying it takes mere minutes to assemble. “I purchased two stands, one for each child, to try and reign in the shoe catastrophe that was occurring in their closets,” one reviewer wrote. “I am happy to announce it worked like I had hoped it would! They are heavier duty than I was expecting, so it keeps them from being tipped over.”

Not only is the shoe rack sturdy and able to hold a lot for its compact size, but it also looks nice in an understated way. Its chrome finish won’t detract from other decor in the vicinity, and its design lets you grab what you need on the way out the door. Whether you place the rack by your front entryway, in the garage, or near your bedroom closet, it’s going to serve you well. And right now, you can take advantage of the shoe rack’s 20 percent discount and purchase it for just $40! Trust us, you’ll be glad you did.
