1. A quaint boot rack that will preserve the shape of those vintage cowboy kickers you impulse-bought on Depop while keeping them out of the way in your closet to boot. Haha.
Promising review: "Works great and holds boots that are a bit heavier. Very lightweight and easy to store in tight places. Great for apartments with smaller closets!" —Catie
"These stack beautifully in my closet. I bought three racks to hold my boots, and they are brilliant! My boots are preserved and not squashed all under other things anymore. I’m a happy buyer!" —Shana
Get it from Wayfair for $20.49 (originally $26.99).
2. A Boot Butler boot hanger, an ingenious storage solution you'll wish you bought ages ago instead of storing your boots on the floor of your closet or in falling-apart shoeboxes.
Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews, and I must confess I initially thought this item was kind of expensive (you know, for a device to hang boots from)... But then I saw all the other reviews (stellar) and thought, well if all those people thought it was worth it, it must be worth it, so I purchased two Boot Butlers. When they arrived and I unpacked them, I just had to smile — they are clearly an engineering coup — even the (internal) packaging was brilliant. Some of the pieces are a very snug fit, but everything went together perfectly, and when I put my boots on them, I felt badly that they had had to live for so long with plain old plastic inserts to keep them from breaking (flopping over) at the ankle. I actually loved them so much I just ordered another one for my short boots and sent the link to my mom and my aunt... Oh, and great follow-up/customer service as well. Brilliant idea, brilliantly executed, supported by brilliant service." —Bogieboxer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (holds three or five pairs).
3. A horseshoe boot rack that will make you say, "Yeehaw!" as soon as you try it out — this handcrafted piece holds up to six pairs of your stompiest stompers. It's even staggered so dirt doesn't fall onto the second level of boots!
Lucky Shoe Creation is a Monte Vista, Colorado-based small biz that makes rustic home decor from horseshoes.
Promising review: "I had been wanting a horseshoe boot rack for my cowgirl boots for over a year now, but I hadn’t jumped on buying one until now. I needed one to better organize my boots and keep them off the floor where they used to be lined up, and when I saw the look of this one I was sold! I loved that it was made with only horseshoes, as I personally like the look of it better than the models that use a rod for where the bottom of the boots rest. It arrived sooner than the estimated delivery time, and I was ecstatic once I opened it and got my boots on it! The size was great; it wasn’t too big and bulky and fit right where I wanted it against my wall. All my friends and family commented on how cool it was and how much better it made my boots look in my room! I would definitely recommend this boot rack for any boot lover out there!" —Brandi Jed
Get it from Lucky Shoe Creation on Etsy for $159.
4. An adjustable boot storage shelf — yes, you heard me correctly — with customizable pockets so you can rearrange and reorganize to your little neat freak heart's content.
Promising review: "I am in love with my boot organizer; it keeps each pair of my boots standing perfectly straight so as not to crease any of them, and it has been fabulous being able to get rid of the oversized boot boxes in my closet and are a perfect add-on to the shoe racks I purchased from Wayfair." —Maria
Get it from Wayfair for $64.43 (originally $128.99).
5. A wall-mounted boot rack and shoe dryer for holding even the tallest of chest waders, and making sure all the gunk dries before the next time you pull them on.
Promising review: "We've been using two of these boot racks for two years now, and they have been perfect. We needed the boots in the garage but off the floor as mice will climb in them since we live in the country. We keep snow boots, cowboy boots, and rubber boots for kids and adults, and they have held up great. For kids under about first grade you can put two boots into one slot. After that they hold up for kid through adult one boot per slot. We have even stacked a second pair of boots/yard shoes on top (maybe one or two pair) so the soles of the extra shoes sit on the soles of the ones in the slots. Make sure you mount it into studs, and it will treat you great! We get a lot of compliments and comments when people come in through the garage and see these there. I think they also help with organizing for the kids because it's such a clear place to put things, and they can get them on and off easily." —Diana
Get it from Amazon for $30.68+ (holds 2, 3, or 4 pairs).
6. A metal freestanding boot rack with nice tall hooks so you can store any kind of boot without worrying about wilting. Ankle, midi, and thigh-highs, oh my!
Promising review: "Works great. I was worried it would tip, but it's sturdy. Easy to assemble and fits perfectly in a nook in a small space. Looks much nicer than having them lined up against a wall, and nice to no longer be tripping over boots when that line got messy. As other reviewers have noted, works best with knee-high or shorter boots, and smaller shoe sizes." —Bonilla
Get it from Amazon for $47.99.
7. A tall boot organizer with an extra shelf on top and tilt-out capabilities so you can easily remove your boots. So much functionality in one little doodad!
Promising review: "Sturdy and stylish. I love the ability to add another rack and secure on top; I will be ordering another one. Boot holders pivot out a little or a lot depending on your needs." —Heather R.
Get it from Overstock for $49.49.
8. A boot rack that will completely change your closet game, making it possible to enter without trodding on a misshapen boot or lamenting at its messy state.
Promising review: "This rack has brought a whole new meaning to my shoe organization. I have been able to discard lots of boxes that were stacking up, get the shoes up off the floor, saving space, and I am able to see my boot collection much better. I bought additional hooks to hang more boots and am very happy with the look and organization. If you have a large number of boots and are currently keeping them in boxes, I would recommend this rack." —DC Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available with silver or gold hangers, and with or without the rack).
9. A double-decker boot hanger if you just have so many darn boots that you can't store them in non-tornadoey way. This organizer comes with two adjustable rods that hold up to 12 boots, and you can hang it anywhere in your closet!
Promising review: "I love it! I ordered two, one for my tall boots and one for my short boots. It is very sturdy; the clips are great! I’m considering ordering one more for future boots. I desperately needed a place to store my boots — problem solved." —Lynn
Get it from Wayfair for $71.12.
Psst...if you're looking for more problem-solving products, we've got your back.
10. A wooden boot rack flawlessly keeping your boots free from wrinkles, creases, odor, and disarray — simply chuck them on this boot rack and go about your day.
11. A 7-tier shoe organizer with boot slots if your boot collection is big enough to need the taller slots, but small enough that you can buy a normal storage piece that serves other purposes too.
Promising review: "The dimension of this product fits perfectly to where I place this. It is not too big, and it works well. This is better than the shoe rack with just the sticks because smaller shoes will not fall through the rack, and you don't have to worry about adjusting the way shoes are placed on the rack." —Clyde
Get it from Walmart for $25.72.
12. A stackable boot rack that you can buy multiples of and stack neatly on top of each other as you accumulate more and more boot children to join your brood.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this. It's compact, easy to assemble, and flushes nicely against the wall. I have purchased three and have them stacked, but I might purchase another one and double stack instead of the triple tower I have now. I would suggest to anyone who has many boots but not a lot of space." —SaleWatcher
Get it from Walmart for $39.47.
13. A vertical hanging boot rack as the ultimate space-saver if you live in a tiny apartment but would rather die than stop growing your ever-increasing boot collection.
Promising review: "My new Boot Stax stacks my boots and more! I bought this on a whim after being frustrated by how much real estate my boot collection was taking in my closet. You never know how well some of these things are going to work. THIS WORKS! It grasps my boots really well and has provided some much needed order to my tall boots, short boots, rain boots, and booties. No more digging around the dark floor looking for a mate. I had some extra spaces free so I decided to try to see how it worked with some bags, and it worked great! I’m thinking of getting another for my kids’ coat closet to organize their hats and gloves. I’m so thrilled with this purchase!" —Sarah
Get it from Amazon for $48.95.
14. A fishing boot hanger that's cheap as heck but will provide you with the priceless satisfaction of hanging up your boots instead of having them muck up the floor you just cleaned.
Promising review: "These are the perfect solution to hang our rain boots in our garage! Very easy to hang, and they fit all our family boots (5-year-old all the way to my husband). Just wish I would have seen these years ago!" —PDX Ford Gal
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
15. A boot stand you can use indoors or outdoors to keep your walking boots in pristine condition, making your daily mental health walks that much easier and more pleasant.
Home Garden Extras is a Sussex-based small biz that offers home and garden accessories.
Promising review: "Love the boot stand; it's really sturdy and smart but not too big. We keep it outside the front door under a very small lean-to roof and totally fine in a bit of rain and wind. It's great quality and feels like it will last forever." —Emma Churchley
Get it from Home Garden Extras on Etsy for $46.92.
16. A hanging boot file on a 360-degree swivel rod that will take up just as much space in your closet than a regular schmegular old hanger, and most importantly, get your boots off the floor.
This comes with one set of boot inserts!
Promising review: "This product is AWESOME! I didn't have any trouble fitting my tall boots (1"–2" heel knee-high boots), and only had trouble with them falling out if I tilted it too much one way or the other. Otherwise they fit in the pockets perfectly. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone wanting to organize and store tall boots in their closet. I bought two of them — one for my tall boots, and one for mine and my husband's cowboy boots. LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!!!" —WisconsinMom
Get it from Amazon for $7.38.
17. A rolling boot storage rack you won't know how you lived without before, since not only will it hang up all your shoes, but also make them portable at will for when you have trouble picking out an outfit and need to see all your options.
Promising review: "I love it, only thing people need to be aware of is heavier boots may bend plastic, but the solution is easy, just move the plastic pieces closer together so boots support each other. I live in a small place without closets so I had originally used cube storage; this shoe rack freed four cubbies and bins." —Michelle L.
Get it from Brylane Home for $22.98 (originally $109.99).
Because even cowboys need a place to hang up their boots.
