If you’re like me, you probably have way too many shoes, and no intention of giving any of them up anytime soon. That’s why for part two of my closet cleaning series, we’ll be tackling ways to organize your shoes. Since they take up a lot of closet space, it’s key to figure out a smart system for organizing your shoes. There are many different ways to organize your shoes. The key is to pick an approach that will work with your closet space and allow you to easily see all your footwear. Otherwise, it’s out of sight, out of mind, and you might as well not have the shoes you can’t see, because you’ll never wear them.

Yes, within the storage system, I have another set of ways to organize your shoes, because the more organized you are, the easier it is to get dressed. I prefer to sort by type (pumps, flats, wedges, sandals, sneakers, boots, etc.) and then color-coordinate from there. But some people prefer to color-coordinate first, and others like to organize by how often they tend to wear them, putting the most worn shoes towards the front.
