Give Footwear Storage the Boots
They stand up to fall chills and mud, but do your boots flop over forlornly in a corner indoors? These storage solutions can help
Boots are made for walking, so storing them can be a challenge. After I find the perfect fall boots and spend almost twice as much as I usually spend on regular shoes, they often end up in a pile in the back of the closet or in a hodgepodge assortment by the door.
With the arrival of fall and our penchant for booties, riding boots, heeled and flat pairs, cowboy boots and everything in between, I thought I'd share a few storage solutions to help your care for them. Which one is the best fit for you?

| For the Minimalist Wire organizers from Urban Outfitters pool different items together in this cozy, 600-square-foot rental in the Venice Canals section of Los Angeles — including photographer Annie McElwain's galoshes and her three favorite, well-worn boots. This is a great idea for people who really only wear the same few pairs time and again. |

Designer Jennifer Grey uses this old cocktail bar tray from Target as a mudroom boot tray. It's big enough for two pairs of shoes and a pair of boots, and fits well in the entry of her cottage.

For the Eclectic Fashionista
Blogger Nina Van de Goor's industrial étagère fits perfectly in an eclectic home. The boots add splashes of candy- and berry-toned color to her neutral space, and the shelving shows off all of her footwear in plain sight.

For the Organizer on a Budget
Spending for custom boot shelves, boot stands and boot shapers adds up. This homeowner simply upcycled from her own closet, using skirt hangers to hang her boots so that the boot tops don't tip over to the side. Genius.
