"Ironically, shoes are second only to toys as annoying underfoot clutter. The process of keeping shoes organized begins with providing enough space for all the footwear in your entryway. Shoes need to be kept either on a mat or on a movable supporting rack so that the floor underneath can be cleaned regularly. In a formal foyer, you can use mats placed inside the closet under the coats. In a less formal entryway or where there&amp;#039;s no closet, use attractive wooden or metal shoe racks to hold shoes and boots, or use a decorative wicker basket as an entryway accent and shoe organizer. Stackable shoe shelves are inexpensive and provide plenty of air circulation that will help wet shoes and boots to dry. No matter what you use to store shoes, it should be cleanable and able to catch dirt, salt, water, and so on. Keep shoes and boots in groups according to the person who wears them. If there is room, store boots in the entryway or foyer. If not, store them in the bedroom closet during the off season. Part of organizing the entryway should be removing the footwear that belongs somewhere else \u2014 basically any shoes or boots not specifically meant for inclement weather.
