I have spent hours trying to find
the perfect shoe organizer to store my high heels.
First,
I bought one of those racks that has bars to hold the shoes up, but sadly the
bars were spaced too far apart for my size 6 heels. I
contemplated buying those plastic shoe boxes and stacking them in my closet but
I’m the kind of person who likes to have their shoes on display. If it’s in a
box, even a clear one, I feel like I wouldn’t wear it as much.
I
really liked the cubby style organizers so that’s what I was on the hunt for.
The only problem was that every single shoe organizer I found was geared
towards flat shoes and didn’t have the height to store even a three inch heel.
I looked at Target, Home Depot, Lowes, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Wayfair, Overstock,
etc…. I couldn’t find that perfect organizer I was envisioning.
Finally,
I found it! The perfect high heel shoe organizer from The Container Store! Unfortunately
the closest Container Store to me was two hours away… so
I had to take the risk of ordering online. I relied on the web reviews and the
item description to assure me that I was making the right decision.
I
ordered two different styles of their shoe organizers, the 8 pair and the 12 pair
(which comes with dowels that allow for them to be stacked). The organizers
retail for $39.99 but if you catch them during a sale you can get them for as
low as $29.99.
They
come disassembled, so they need to be put together—but building them was easy.
It took me maybe 15-20 minutes to finish each one and I only needed a hammer
and screw driver. Once they were built and stacked they were perfect! They
looked way more expensive then what I had paid. The 8 pair organizer has a
maximum height of 6 ½ inches, so I used that to store my higher heels. I store
them with one shoe facing the front and the other facing back, this was I can
fit a pair into each slot. The 12 pair organizer has a maximum height of 5 ½,
which fit my 2-3 inch heels.
Overall
I would definitely buy more if my closet had space for more cubbies!
