We've all been there, right? You open up your main closet to be greeted by piles and piles of shoes in a heap on the floor. There are lots of practical shoe organization solutions kickin' around, but we wanted to show off some innovative ideas that could work, too!

• Boxes made of cardboard.
• Buy them in collapsed form, unfold them, then build them into shelves and towers.

Boot hangers by Boot-tique

• Clips are strong enough to hold heavy boots.
• Clips have a plastic liner and shouldn't damage boots or leave any permanent impressions.
• The boots hang cradling each other (one slightly in front of the other) for efficient storage - arch to heel.

Tip for storing boots on a shelf: Roll up old magazines and stuff them into bootlegs. This will keep bootlegs straight and makes for easy storage on shelves inside closets.
