Where do your shoes live???

[lilima]

Mine are in my walk in robe, as is DH's. work shoes are in a tub outside.

Kids have a coloured bin each in the garage, and their shoes are in there. We intend to buy an IKEA shoe cupboard. Love ikea.
We don't wear shoes inside.

[Hansie]

We have one of Ikea's expedit 8 cubes which is laid flat in the entry we each have 2 cubes with the canvas inserts. Boys use the top for hats & bags & bottom for shoes. Both are for shoes in mine & DH's case. School bags & work back packs sit on top. Work boots or dirty shoes stay in the garage until they are dry/cleaned.
Both boys are really good at putting their shoes & hats away. I have to say I'm probably the worst ;-)

We have 2 huge wicker baskets I hit at Target. They aren't big enough though I need one for the kids and one each for DH and I. We have a small outside entry area that they live in now right near the front door.

All over the house lol. I try And have them at front door DS1 very good at taking off at front door DS2 not so much. We have a heap in bottom off our wardrobe that I need to go thru and cull. Boys have a storage shelf thing in there room for other shoes etc but often all over bedroom floor!

DD has a hanging shoe holder in her wardrobe. DH and I keep them on racks in our walk in robe. Of course that is where they are supposed to be. There are usually a few around the house and I'm probably as bad as DD at putting them away. I use the excuse that DH doesn't have very many so it's easier for him to manage them all.....

Gardening shoes stay in the garage and there is usually a pair of thongs by the door that I can easily slip on to go down the beach or around the garden.

DH and mine are in our walk in robe on shoe racks he made.

The kids are in the bathroom they use in drawers.

Shoe racks by the front door, here, for DH and mine. And we have a little tub on the change table (it's a dining table we've converted) for the DSs.

Manky shoes (gardening shoes, soccer boots during season, etc) have to live in the garage.

I have a special bookshelf that has been modified for my shoe collection.

There are now 89 pairs.

[sahbear]

Divvy - I love that you know exactly how many pairs you have!

[Sopdet]

All shoes, except for one pair of pluggers and my running shoes (both pairs), are in plastic boxes (if they fit or in the boxes they came in) in the wardrobe. The casual ones are kept under the casual clothes and the work ones are kept under the work clothes (different sides of the wardrobe).

My pluggers and running shoes are neatly under the side-table where keys etc are kept. Diving shoes & galoshes are in the car for when I go visiting friends with creeks & paddocks

I take my shoes off when I get home and they get put away before bed. I have over 50 pairs, I think.

I used to have them on their own bookcase in the spare room, but since I'm back at uni I need the bookcase for books

[sushee]

I have a wall of bookshelves in my study and they are for my shoes. DP has two shelves allocated to him. I also have a wardrobe that have my boots lying down in shelves.

All my shoes go to those two places: special shoes to flip flops, and different shelves hold different 'categories' of shoes (e.g one shelf for flats, one for stompy shoes, one for runners, several for heels )

I like being able to see all of them (bar my boots) in one place so I can decide what to use that day.

[Rouge]

In my cupboard. DS uses his large drawer in his tall boy and DD uses her cupboard.

None of us have many shoes so they don't seem to be laying around ever.

[sangie]

Kids shoes on a shoe rack in the laundry except slippers which they keep in their bedrooms. DH and I have ours on a shoe rack in our walk in wardrobe.
Dirty shoes (gardening shoes, gumboots etc) live outside in a big plastic box with a lid (as I'm scared of spiders crawling in my gumboots so lid must be on all the time!). Also then they can't be seen!

[Butterfly Dawn]

When we move I can see I have some serious shoe buying and collecting to do

[OceanPrincess]

I have a special bookshelf that has been modified for my shoe collection.

There are now 89 pairs.

Love it

I really like the Ikea shoe thing. I need to convince DH we need one of those. NEED. I also love the idea of plastic tub at back door for gumboots. Going to implement that one!! Thanks gals!

[Astrid]

We have an old kitchen buffet at the back door, most of the shoes go in the cupboard part.
Gumboots tend to be scattered about the back area along with the thongs
DH's work boots are in the bedroom.
Most of my shoes are in boxes in my wardrobe. With a pair of thongs at each backdoor.

[Phteven]

Shoe rack by the door.
