Designer Advice:
The dual white and oak finish of this shoe rack would look great paired with sage green. Though it isn’t the narrowest of shoe racks, it’s still slim enough to fit in a gap next to a door or beneath stairs.
What Users Say:
Product is exactly as described. Absolutely love it. Love that it doesn't protrude from wall very far yet still offers tons of storage.

Minimalist Skinny Shoe Rack
Latitude Run®
Perfect For: If you don’t own many shoes
What We Like: Simple design
What We Don’t Like: Won’t fit large shoes
The extra slim size of this shoe rack makes it an excellent option for apartment spaces that have a small entry space. It comes in a white, black, or brown finish. Constructed from manufactured wood, it has seven evenly sized shelves. The top shelf has raised edges so you can place a decorative object like a plant above.
Designer Advice:
The understated design of this shoe rack means it’s a good fit for contemporary spaces. We recommend the white option if you want to brighten up an area, but note that a white rack will show scuffs and marks from your shoes. If you want to avoid this, darker colors like black and brown are better.
What Users Say:
Love this! It was easy to put together, fits nicely where we need it and is sturdy.

Designer Advice:
This cabinet is a great all-rounder due to its color options and the fact it can hold taller or wider shoes. Nevertheless, it isn’t the sturdiest option due to being made of fabric instead of wood or plastic. It may also sag with heavier shoes.
What Users Say:
It fits perfectly in the space I selected for it. My shoes are big so I couldn't get 30 pairs in it, but I'm still impressed with it.

Narrow tilt out shoe cabinet
Latitude Run®
This shoe rack measures less than 7” in depth and 10” in width. It features eight tiers, so you can store one pair per level. It displays a versatile white finish, and it comes with metal brackets to secure it to the wall.
Designer Advice:
If you’re really low on space, choose a narrow shoe rack with a tilt out design. This will allow you to make the most of a particularly small corner where you thought nothing would fit. You could even place it behind a door to keep your shoes out of sight.

For a cohesive feel, look for a narrow shoe rack that matches the rest of your room. This should involve the same decor style and a shade that’s already present in your palette. For example, this model is particularly ideal for traditional interiors, and you can find it in a black, white, drifted gray, and rich espresso finish.

Unlock some additional storage space by choosing a shoe rack with a shelf. Depending on where you’re placing it, you can use it for practical or decorative items… or both! It’d be useful to keep your purses and small bits and bobs at hand next to your front door. Alternatively, in your living room, you could use it to showcase some ornamental items or plants.
