School is officially back in session and apparently so is the cool weather. Today I had to dig deep into the recesses of my storage nook to find a pair of rain boots I had tucked away last spring. My open-toed shoes and strappy sandals would have been no match for today's cool and rainy forecast. Oh, how I missed them! The tall ones, short ones, high heeled ones and flat ones, the suede and leather, shiny and pleather. I love them all!
Soon it will be time to pull them all out of their boxes again and move them to the front of my closet. Boots are Big this season. They are also BIG. They take up a lot of space. I did a little research to find tips on the best way to store those boots!
Think Tall. Those shoe storage containers are rarely big enough to hold your faveorite over-the-knee pairs. The Transformer Boot Storage Organizer (available at Target) looks like the perfect fit.
Hang Tough. A boot hanger from the aptly named Boot Hanger Company is a boot's best friend.
Box 'Em Up. Boots were made for boxes, right? The only problem with storing boots in their original boxes is that you may have a hard time identifying the boots you are searching for. These clear boxes from Amazon will solve the mystery and will also better protect your boots from dust and moisture, plus they have vent holes to keep those booties smelling fresh!
Keep It Clean. Rain, snow, slush, grime. This Tiered Boot Tray, available on Amazon, will prevent your muddy wellies from dripping all over the floor. Ideal if you have a "mudroom", entryway, or entry closet. You'll thank us when the first snow falls.
How do you store your boots come fall?
