Shoe Sort

Like most women I have  many pairs of shoes. Yes, many black pairs. They are all different. Really!!
I have been keeping to baskets full of shoes for a few years now. One for open toed spring/summer-ish shoes and one for closed toed "winter" shoes. Here is AZ there is really only Summer and a Fall.

 I do not like this system anymore. Messy, digging for shoes. Annoying.


 After hours or searching both the stores and the web I decided on the Shoe Cubby. It was most like the system my mom got from HSN or QVC many years ago.

 Overall it is great but putting  it together was .. a Major Pain. I was frustrated with how hard it was to get the pieces to form together and I ended up not putting the back pieces on. I bought 2 boxes of 15 slots. David was hoping to use one box. I made a grid of  3X6, so he will get 12 slots. More than enough.

I know what you are thinking 50 pairs of shoes and only 18 slots? Well, keeping with the  seasons theme. The open toed shoes( many are flip flop types and can fit 2-3 per slot) go in one basket and the closed toed got in the cubbies.

I am happy with the end result. But, I am not putting any together for David. He is on his own.

NOTE- I have Many pairs of shoes but not as many as most women,  50 pairs includes my wedding shoes, running and hiking shoes and all my flip flops!! Also, I work with a lady who has made a shoe deal with herself. She can keep "only" 100 pairs of shoes. Each time she gets a new pair of shoes she has to donate a pair to keep herself at 100. Good plan but, WOW. That is  too many shoes.
