Can anyone recommend any for me please, I don't want to pay too much for them, but need them to be stackable and so would have tobe quite sturdy. I found these which are really good value and would like to know if any of you have used these and if they are any good?

I have also found these but are they just too cheap? http://www.theshoelounge.co.uk/Clear-Shoe-boxes/



Thanks

  • I'm looking for some as well - anyone?
  • I'd like some. The second ones look reasonable.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I got some the other week from B&M bargains in a pack of 3 with a picture of a pair of shoes on, not too sure how much they were but must of been cheap?!? They are really sturdy and are all stacked neatly (15 boxes!) x
    :p
  • I smile at the thought of people buying clear shoe boxes or taking pictures of the shoes and sticking them to the front.

    I have a "bit" of an addiction which currently runs to just over 100 pairs of shoes and some 30 pairs of boots (that doesn't count fit flops and trainers!) and I know the content of every single box without even opening the lid. I'm beginning to think I may have a problem :D

  • I have the b&m ones too! I htink they were £3.99 for a pack of three. I really like them. The first link you posted looks like the same ones as the b&m ones except no picture of shoes on them.

    This is probably not what you are looking for as they are not cheap, but they are really good quality and you can buy them in Staples if you have one near. They are also handy because you don't need to unload the whole stack to get to the bottom pair of shoes.

    They look perfect, but as you say are quite expensive!!

    Where are B&M? Are they online as I don't think I have ever seen a shop.

    yeah they seem reasonable there is also argos but they may be dearer
    also if you still have shoe boxes you can stick a photo on the front that would help
    :A VK :A
  • Just wanted to update anyone that is interested, I bought the boxes from the shoe lounge for both shoes and knee length boots and have been very pleased with the quality. My shoe bit in the wardrobe is much tidier now!!
