More shoes!

Recently I went shopping at Diaso, and found a product that I've been looking for a long time.  It's a shoe rack.  Here's some pics to illustrate my new "investment"!!

This is my shoe cabinet, a floor to ceiling cabinet, with 10 shelfs.  I use 5 out of the 10 (pie say...).  I place my shoes in boxes, and print out pic of the shoes to label my boxes.  Those without pic are new shoes.

Out of the 5 shelfs, the top and the 5th are shorter in height.  The 3 rows in the middle are taller, and thus they are not fully utilised!


This is the product I got from Diaso - a shoe rack that is tall at one end and short at the other end. Here's how it works.

Step 1, place my tall platform below.

Step 2, place the rack over the platform, with the taller portion behind.  the rack sits nicely over the platform without squashing them.

Step 3, place another pair of shorter shoe on the top of the rack.  The higher portion of the shoe goes onto the shorter side of the rack.

This is another kind of rack.  This is the same size as a slim shoe box.

Here's the end result.  By investing $8 - 3 black double racks, and one pink single rack, I can place 7 shoes on a shelf.  Consider before, which is 5 or 6 shoe boxes on one shelf, I can increase capacity by about 15% to 20%!  Haha, time to get more racks and more shoes!!!

ha, this product has been in the market for quite long time.
Actually I was quite amazed by your idea of keeping the shoes in shoe boxes and label them with a picture. I saw it when I open your cabinet to look for newspaper last time. Your idea is good in a way all shoes are protected from dust and easy to look for the shoes from the picture.
Btw you reaaally have many shoes!
