If closet floor space is limited, don’t forget to look up.
Here, sneakers look elevated (literally) when they’re placed above the hanging rack.
Arranging shoes front to back can sometimes help to maximize space too.

Ample shoe storage in a reach-in closet is totally doable.
This narrow, tall shelf fits perfectly between two wide shelves and also works to break things up visually.

Here, shelves hold boots and taller shoes, and loose shoes stay grouped together in bin-like drawers.
Low wire bins are easy to see into and easy to pull out.
Here, the shoes are also loosely arranged by color giving everything an organized look.
