16 Genius Shoe Storage Ideas for Small Spaces

Lots of shoes, but short on shoe storage? Been there, done that. So I’m on the hunt for the best shoe storage for small spaces. Want to come along?

I honestly believe I don’t have a shoe obsession, but Mr. Muse says otherwise. I guess that because some of my shoes are migrating to his closet. And I guess he has a point because there have been lots of times I haven’t been able to find the shoes I needed. “Now where did I put those red high heels.”

Like a lot of people, I need more shoe storages. But here At Muse Ranch extra space is something we don’t have much of. But I’ve been looking around and I’ve come with some fabulous shoe storage ideas for this small space… and your small place, too. Want to see?
