Millions of shoes at the bottom of our stairs. How do you store yours?

LilElvis

A combined shoe and coat rack in the hallway plus an additional shoe rack in there for the most frequently worn footwear. As my shoe collection runs to three figures I have boxes under three beds and stacked up in a six door and a nine door wardrobe. As my nine year old seems to share my "shoe fetish" gene we are swamped with them

Ours shoes are all stacked in a huge log basket in the hall but still seem to spread out on the floor too. We can't put wet muddy shoes away and by the time they have dried off we are doing other things and forget.... I don't know how people find space to keep shoes in wardrobes, mine is stuffed full of clothes !!

Any wet or muddy shoes go in the conservatory until they've dried off.

The wardrobe in my bedroom has very few full length clothes (I keep coats in the guest room) so there's space underneath.

Oh to have a hallway where I could dump shoes.

My front door opens straight into the sitting room, so I have a small shoe rack by the door, tucked behind a chair. The rest are upstairs in the bedroom.

I remove my shoes and leave it in its allocated space in the hallway, but the moment I leave an extra pair it disappears into the storage units I created under the stairs. I have several pairs of shoes but there is only one pair out, even that does disappear into the bowels of the stairs.
There are only 3 of us at home. My daughters shoes also does the same. However 2-3 pairs of my wife’s shoes do stay out.

I also suddenly find older shoes just disappear into the ether as does my daughter. New shoes suddenly take their place.

We have a strict no shoe policy, hardwood floor.

We never have a shoe overcrowding problem, more of a missing shoe problem.

I bought a small sideboard from a charity shop which is in the hall and stores shoes in the cupboards and dog gear/gloves/hats in the drawers. It was mainly to protect shoes from said dog but I like that the shoes are out of sight.

We could probably use 1 (or 2) shipping containers in our back garden for Mrs D to sort her ever-growing collection of footwear.. my 4 pairs fit nicely on a shelf in the coat cupboard

We have a cubby hole that is part of under the stairs cut in and accessabe from the hallway. Quirk of how the houses were built in the 1930s. We still get a build up of too many shoes though! Teen daughter's collection should be in her wardrobe.

I just let people keep their shoes on. Completely eliminates the problem.
