I need some help
Have a Nice Day!
I need a creative idea for storing boots and shoes in the kitchen.
WHen the kids come inside, they often come in through the kitchen. I don't have a lot of room and I 'd like to be able to put their wet shoes somewhere that doesn't look like a pile of muck in the middle of the floor.
Does anyone have some easy ideas?
Thanks!
Kristen

I have the proverbial little red wagon, with a laundry basket in
it. In principle, mittens, scarves and soft stuff goes into the
basket. In practice at least it all hits the wagon. I can wheel
it easily out of sight/traffic when I need to.

Kristen,
I have an old Coke soda crate in my kitchen by the door. It is divided
into twelve sections, which hold shoes up to size 4 neatly upright. On
particularly slushy days (like today) I throw a towel under the crate,
and the snow just melts through the planks onto the towel.

How about a board with some dowels sticking straight up from it? You
could put it on a mat to catch the water, and hang the shoes upside down
to dry out. You could also make it whatever shape would fit best in
your space. ~Rue

Maybe put some kind of sealer on the shelves first so the water
doesn't wreck them? Then an old towel on each shelf to help soak up
the yuck.
I saw the idea with using pegs on a board and liked it but I was
thinking with kids around someone could fall on it and be hurt. And
at our house, the kids often have mud dripping so upside down would
spread the mess.
What about a plastic (milk) crate for each persons boots? They could
even be stacked, tied together some cute way (um, fabric strips that
match your kitchen?) and anchored to the wall somehow to make it
safe. Again, lining the bottoms with old towels.
Winter is so darn messy!!

boots and shoes on the dowels.

I decided to hang the shoes on the hooks along the wall where we hang the coats. At least they're off the floor and won't mildew LOL.
