How to keep your shoes organized

by Jen (February 8, 2008)

I’ve been struggling with the task of organizing my shoes for a while now. Whoever designed my closet space only left room on the floor below the clothes on one side.

I kept trying clever solutions like storage containers, but I really didn’t have anywhere to put them because my apartment is just that tiny. I really don’t own much stuff, yet I haven’t got enough room.

I finally figured out my shoe organization solution:

• I followed a modified version of the 6-month rule, which states that you should throw out/give away anything you haven’t used in six months. My modification: if I hadn’t actually seen the shoes in 6 months for all the clutter, I gave myself the option to keep them another 6 months.
• After throwing out a lot of shoes I know I’ll never wear again, I discovered I had enough space on the one side of the closet.
