It doesn’t matter whether you live in a one-room studio apartment or a multi-level mansion, your home could use some clever hacks for practically storing all of your footwear.

After the initial purge, though, you’ll still need smart solutions to store those shoes you wear routinely. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the most clever shoe storage solutions we could find.
