Organize-It Blog

So last weekend I was hanging out with some of my “friends”, who wanted to watch a movie. I use the term “friends” loosely because they are mostly friends-of-a-friend. However, the movie they selected to watch was the stinker known as “Confessions of a Shopaholic”. One good thing about watching this abomination was that I got some new inspiration for Shoe Racks Blog.

I mean, the girl is literally addicted to shopping… Who is a better candidate for an owner of a shoe rack than the main character of this film? Basically she runs around the entire movie, shopping and being annoying.

Imagine what it must be like for her to come home from a busy day shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, or the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, or 5^th Avenue in New York City with a giant pile of shopping bags. As she unpacks her new duds she discovers that she is completely out of storage space in her closet!

Unlike the Shopaholic, I would be responsible and get my shoe racks online!

I don’t know if Rebecca is as into online shopping as she is into shopping in upscale boutiques, but she really should take a look at the incredible selection of shoe racks available at Stacks and Stacks.

Since the “shopaholic” is so pressed for closet space, I think the best option for her shoe storage needs is a hanging rack for her shoes. This rack is perfect because it takes up no floor space in the closet, just hanging from the closet rod.

Now, this shoe rack is made by Richards Homewares, so there is a chance that the brand-name is not “cool” enough for Rebecca, the titular character from “Confessions of a Shopaholic”. Hopefully she would understand that with shoe racks, nobody will ever see it, so there is no point in worrying about high-end vs. mid-range brand names.

One of my favorite activities is to go on long, meandering walks that often have no destination point. In fact, I consider the walk itself to be the entire destination. Just this last weekend, I went on an epic nine-mile walk with my wife and dog, and though we stopped at the La Brea Tar Pits, I would not call that much of a destination. Ten minutes at the park and around we turned. With all of that walking, we need a lot of shoes, and in turn shoe racks to store them on.

In college and high school, I was what you would call a “car-dependant” person. I would drive everywhere I could – I even drove from my dorm room to the cafeteria across campus nearly every day. That is a distance of about a half a mile, or a ten-minute walk. Those days it would take me about a year to go through a pair of shoes, so I really did not have that much footwear.

These days though, I go through a couple of shoes every year. I find it helps to have a couple of pairs at the ready in case one falls apart. To avoid a cluttered hallway or closet, I have invested in a few state-of-the-art shoe racks that provide great storage and organization for my home.

Shoe Racks are for more than just walkers

Not to mention my wife has an even larger shoe collection than me, and it makes sense why we would need a 50 pair shoe rack. She is an attorney, so her shoes need to look great all the time. Storing the shoes on the floor will scuff them up and are professionally unacceptable.

So as you can see the need for large shoe rack can arise whether you are a professional that needs to keep your shoes looking great, or an avid walker that needs to have a lot of shoes!
