   How do you easily organize shoes?
   
   I've gotten rid of shoes, and have tried using a plastic tub (that didn't last long) & a hanging shelf (hung it on the rod in the closet). Neither worked well. Any suggestions?

   I line my shoes up along the wall in the closet. For my husband's shoes and the shoes that I wear the most, we line them up just under the bed so they aren't sticking out but you can see the heels. We have a sleigh bed that sits high, so or bedskirt doesn't cover this area.
   
   This works really well because it's easy to keep up. You can just step right out of your shoes and slide them in place.

   Just line them up on the bottom floor. First by type. Boots, shoes, then flipflops is how I have it. Second, by color or by height. It makes them easier to find.

   I use a book shelf.  I've sat it inside my wardrobe next to the hanging section.

   I created a shoe closet with a rack system purchased from Ebay. I think it's possible to build your own, however. Then it has worked best to organize my shoes by color, since this is usually the criteria I use to coordinate footwear with outfit. It's worked pretty well so far!

   This takes a little carpentry but works for everything.  Cut 1 by 12 planks in 16 by 16 inch pieces.  Actually any size will do, depending on that you want on them.  Using four of the pieces, screw ends together and you have a nice square.  Make lots of them and stack them in any configuration you like and then place the shoes on each "shelf."  We have used these for lots of different storage issues.  My daughter has a bunch of these stacked in her living room for a nice bookcase and place for knick knacks.  They look great , modern and neat.
   
   You can make different sizes, paint them, clear finish them--whatever suits you.
