Metal shelves can often accommodate a few pairs of shoes per shelf thanks to their durability.
Pop your boots on the top shelf and you’re good to go.
Grab a pair as you’re headed out the door and drop them off when you get back in.

To pull it off, select a console with a bottom shelf that’s relatively low to the ground.
Similarly, look around your house for linen closets that might be under-utilized.
One thing to keep in mind: save this method for your most show-stopping boots.

The key to making this look intentional is displaying boots that can double as decorative objects.

The same idea can also be pulled off with an old-school pegboard outfitted with some strategically placed pegs.
Corral boots near the front or back door on a boot tray to make them look tidy and chic.

Keep in mind that many boot hangers clip to the exterior of your boots.
Create a shoe station with multiple cubbies for different types of boots like garden boots or riding boots.
That said, you don’t necessarily want them exposed to the elements.
