Buying Guide

In order to stay organized at home, items like shoe cabinets are very useful. Without a shoe cabinet, it's difficult to find a place to store your shoes, and as a result, the living room, hallway, and stairs may soon become cluttered. Choosing a large shoe cabinet can be a difficult decision since there are so many varieties available. Let's look at some of the main things to consider when deciding which shoe cabinet to buy.

It's important to know what size of shoe cabinet you need. You know you want to buy a large one, but how do you decide exactly which size? The key is knowing how many pairs of shoes you need to store in the cabinet. You can easily find the measurements of the shoe cabinets you're considering, but knowing how many shoes they fit can be a different challenge. As a guide, you should give around 6 inches of space for each shoe, so 12 inches for each pair. This will vary of course, depending on the shoe and style, but this will generally allow you to work out the required length of the cabinet. Once you know the required length, you can work out how many shelves you need. The number of shelves will be stated on the description or label of the cabinet.

There are several different styles of shoe cabinet, and when you're searching for a large cabinet, it could get even more complicated. Here are some common styles to have in mind while searching:

  • Static shelves: This style involves shelves which are not flexible and are fixed in a horizontal position. This is often seen for the largest of shoe cabinets – these are often quite tall. Standing at around six feet tall, there are normally 8-10 shelves which you cannot adjust.
  • Folding shelves: If you don't have much space for a shoe cabinet, look for an option which allows you to maximize space in the best ways possible. One of these is a narrow shoe cabinet which can be positioned against a wall. You can lift down the shelves and store your shoes easily. This style of cabinet will take up around 8-10 inches of space from the wall.
  • Built-in shoe cabinet: This is a good way to fit a large shoe cabinet in your way if you have the extra wall space. It is perfect for any parts of the room which may be slightly wider than others or have a little bit of extra space. You can then install a shoe cabinet which takes up minimal floor space while giving you the storage space you need.

Top tip: Always measure the available space that you have for a large shoe cabinet. To save space, look for a cabinet which is higher rather than wider, which enables you to utilize wall space rather than vital floor space in smaller homes.
