Stackable Clear Shoe Boxes

Stackable clear shoe boxes are possibly the best way to organize your shoes on the face of this earth. As their name suggests, these see-through plastic boxes allow you to see which shoe is in which box - without having to open the box first.

I find see-through shoe boxes save me a lot of time because I don't have to hunt through each cardboard shoe box to find the pair I am looking for. Because I can see all of my shoes at once, I also find that I rotate my shoes more evenly and that I'm not always wearing the same two or three pairs anymore.

My favorite part about these shoe boxes is that I can pull out a pair of heels (or sports shoes) from the middle of a pile and not have the whole pile come crashing down in a heap. This is because plastic shoe boxes slide open. It's just like using a chest of drawers. It virtually forces me to be tidy - even if I'm running late! Finally, I never have to dust my shoes anymore – they are all protected from dust by the clear plastic box.

With the success I found in organizing my shoes, I naturally wanted to get started on organizing my husband's shoes. However, my husband wears size 11 shoes which do not fit into ladies' see-through shoe boxes. I recently found out though that some companies have started to offer clear shoe boxes for men. They are identical to women's shoe boxes in every way (clear, stackable and slide out-able) except for their size. A lady's clear shoe box measures approximately 7” wide x 12” long x 4” deep (18.5 cm wide x 30cm long x 10 cm deep). A clear shoe box for a man measures approximately 8" wide x 14" long x 5" deep (20 cm wide x 35 cm long x 13.5 cm deep). I bought seven boxes for my husband's business shoes football boots and Saturday night shoes.

With both my shoes and my husband's shoes sorted, I had one last realm to organize. You guessed it – my boots. Happily, I discovered that you can buy clear shoe boxes for boots (or perhaps clear boot boxes is a better name for them). You can fit boots up to 20" long (52 cm). The actual dimensions of a clear boot box are approximately 12" wide x 20" long x 4" deep (30cm wide x 52cm long x 11cm deep). You can store your boot boxes either lying down or standing up – whatever works best in your wardrobe.

I don't have any personally, but you can also get tinted colored clear shoe boxes. Imagine color-coding your shoe collection! Red tinted shoe boxes for going out shoes, blue tinted shoe boxes for work shoes and green tinted shoe boxes for sport shoes. Whatever you decide, you're sure to gain a lot of satisfaction in organizing your shoe collection with stackable clear shoe boxes.
