If you follow me on either Facebook or Twitter then you probably read about me reorganizing my shoes in my closet a few weeks back.  Although more spacious than most I do not have a very large closet. I thought that by keeping my shoes in their boxes I was making the most of my limited space but after receiving new shoes I realized not one more box could fit.  

I browsed shoe closets/ shoe organization on Pinterest and the one thing I noticed was that almost none had the shoes in boxes but in racks or shelves. I decided I too would go this route as it seemed the most efficient. 

Based on my closet space I knew that I could place a rack on both the right lefts sides of the closet as well as one across the bottom. I googled to find shoe racks that fit my requirements of cost and size. After measuring my space to make sure they would fit I purchased two 30 Pair Stacking Metal & Plastic Shoe Racks and one Stacking Shoe Rack

Si me sigues en Facebook o Twitter, probablemente un par de semanas atras  leiste sobre la reorganización de los zapatos en mi closet. Aun que es más espacioso que la mayoría, no tengo un closet muy grande. Pensé que al mantener mis zapatos en sus cajas, estaba aprovechando la mayor parte de mi espacio limitado, pero después de recibir un par de zapatos nuevos, me di cuenta de que ya una caja más podría encajar. 

Busqué por estantes de calzados y organización de zapatos en Pinterest y lo único que noté fue que casi ningunos tenían los zapatos en cajas, pero en los bastidores o estantes. Decidí yo también por esta ruta, ya que parecía la forma más eficiente.

A base de mi espacio en el closet yo sabía que podía colocar un estante de zaptatos en el lado derecho y izquierdas del closet y uno en la parte inferior. Busqué en Google para encontrar bastidores de zapatos que se adapten a mis necesidades de coste y tamaño. Después de medir mi espacio para asegurar me de que encajaría, compre dos 30 Pair Stacking Metal & Plastic Shoe Racks y un Stacking Shoe Rack 
While waiting for my shoe racks to arrive I went to town on the closet and removed every shoe from its box. This was a long messy process my living room was filled with boxes and tissue paper. I then had to break down each box to be able to throw them all out.

En lo que esperaba que los bastidores de zapatos llegaran fui trabajando en el closet y saque todos los zapatos de su caja. Este fue un proceso largo y regueroso tenia la sala llena de las cajas y papel. Luego tuve que romper cada caja para poder botar las todas.
Putting together the shoe racks after they arrived was pretty simple. All of my shoes fit with the exceptions of a few boots, which I put in my husband's closet. I still have space for a few more pairs of shoes, not many but this will definitely due for now. I can finally see all of my shoes, I even tried to organize them by color. Hope this helps to get you organized as well.

Montar los bastidores de zapatos después de su llegada fue bastante simple. Todos mis zapatos cupieron con la excepción de unos pares de botas, las puse en el closet de mi esposo. Todavía tengo espacio para unos cuantos pares de zapatos mas, no muchos, pero esto definitivamente funciona por ahora. Por fin puedo ver a todos mis zapatos, que incluso trate de organizar por colores. Espero que esto los ayude para que ustedes tambien se organicen.

Hace un par de meses yo me vi obligada hacer esto mismo, pues tenia el mismo problema que tu, ya el espacio no me alcanzaba para nada, aparte de que yo tambien los guardaba en caja y adivina que? no me acordaba de algunos de ellos al no verlos!

Asi que hice lo mismo que tu, elimine todas las cajas que al final estorban mas de lo que ayudan, y ahora los tengo todos a la vista y mejor organizados.Algo debi haber hecho hace mucho.

Ahora dejame decirte que tienes una coleccion de zapatos envidiable lol ;)

I totally applaud you for the shoe re-organization. I am having similar problems. My husband recently completed converting a bedroom into a closet for me. Well almost completing, I have a few finishing touches I need to add. I am opting not to put my shoes in this new closet but convert a small walk-in into my shoes and purse closet. Guess what I too keep my shoes in boxes. When consulting clients I often display their shoes on a rack. But I have this think about my shoes being in a box. Even shoes that have damages boxes I put in plastic shoe container I secured from the container store. I do like a nice shoe closet that display beautiful shoes so prominently. But is something about my person shoes being in a box. I will also blog about the room conversion. Please do check it out.

Hi!

Thank you! It was lots of work and took me almost a week from beginning to end since I had to wait on the racks to be delivered but I'm glad I did it.

Your closet sounds like it is going to be amazing. Thank you for stoping by! I'm happy you enjoyed my post.

Congrats you did a great job, however I wanted to mention DO YOU THINK IS BETTER TO KEEP OUE SHOES OUT OF THEIR BOXES? I don't know but I think they are better kept in their respective boxes as they will maintain looking like new ... I have so many shoes and so little space but I am afraid to remove them from their boxes so I had to move my clothes to be able to keep my shoes there .. crazy ha CRAZY ABOUT SHOES lol
