1. A three-drawer shoe cabinet drawer that will be your saving grace if you live in a small space and have lost all hope at finding a cute and functional shoe storage solution. This mounts flush to the wall and won't get in your way as you hustle out the door!
Promising review: "I live in a tiny 500-sq.-ft. condo and don't have much space by the foyer, so I'd always have shoes by the entryway. My wood floors are also uneven/not leveled so when I put a storage cabinet by the entryway it would always rock back and forth. Since I can mount the shoe cabinet to the wall, it makes my entryway feel so much more open and put together. The cabinet is made of metal and has a magnetic clip to open/close the doors. I can put about two shoes per bin, but there's a small space left (so maybe kids' shoes can fit there). I love this storage bin and highly recommend it for anyone without the space!" —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $169.95+ (also available with four tiers).
2. A rustic shoe bench to finally make your foyer feel more like a foyer, and not a shoe graveyard, where cleanliness and order go to die.
Promising review: "This is such an incredible little piece of furniture. It is so easy to assemble, extremely sturdy, and looks absolutely gorgeous. I had purchased it to put at the foot of my bed to place pillows and blankets on. I wanted something that was rustic and small. This piece of furniture is absolutely outstanding and it’s a beauty. After placing the first one at the foot of my bed, I ordered a second one to function as a shoe rack in the main hallway. I love that it is slick, that it looks good, and that it is truly a rustic piece of furniture. Plus, Prime delivery gets here in no time at all." —Roy Ham Roy
Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
And here are some other organization and storage products that we're loving right now.
3. A storage bench with a shoe rack and lift-top to store extra goodies (and the occasional furry friend), so you don't have to deal with your house becoming a littering ground for scarves and gloves, too.
Promising review: "We needed a bench with storage for our loft-like apartment. This bench fit the bill. As others have stated, the instructions were mostly comprised of pictures but we were able to eventually figure it out. I wish the rungs under the bench allowed enough height to store short boots rather just shoes. The storage inside the bench is sufficient to store gloves, ear warmers, and winter hats. Aesthetically, the bench is very appealing and seems to be holding up well." —Jennifer & Sydney Cardy

4. A gorgeous rustic shoe cabinet providing an elevated touch to your foyer. Imagine the delight of all your houseguests when you open the drawer and reveal that it's not in fact an elegant table, but a storage cabinet!
Promising review: "I love this cabinet and it is exactly what I needed to corral all of the shoes in my 'mud room' and looks so much better than the open rack I had in there previously. It looks like a piece of furniture and compliments my room decor, and you wouldn't even know it was a shoe organizer. Highly recommend this product." —Suzanne
Get it from Wayfair for $121.99+ (available in eight colors).
5. A 15-pair shoe storage bench long enough to hold several little ones (or adults) as they put on their gear for the day, which is infinitely better than having them wriggling all over the floor.
6. A shoe storage cabinet with three magnetic-locking drawers that will battle clutter like nobody's business, fighting as your fierce ally to get your family to finally, finally... put their shoes away.
7. A bamboo storage bench that's as attractive as it is helpful, so whether you're a shoes-on of shoes-off indoors kind of person, you'll relish the feeling of having your shoes out of sight.
Promising review: "This bench is very good for the price. It feels sturdy, and it was super easy to put together (took me about 20 minutes). The seat opens easily and is perfect for storing umbrellas, gloves, and other small outdoor items. I've gotten several compliments on it already!" —JadeMariee
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $129.
8. A entryway shoe bench reviewers absolutely love for the handcrafted touch, rustic finish, and unique shape allowing for different sizes of shoes, so you can store your booties and slippers alike.

Promising review: "This piece is absolutely amazing! Modern, unique, and beautiful. So well made. The Jacobean stain is gorgeous and rich and gives a lovely distressed look. Communication with the artist was so quick and easy. Amazingly fast shipping. Seriously can’t say enough good things! Thank you, Corey!" —heatherumlaut
Get it from Bates Furnishings on Etsy for $280+.
9. A round swivel shoe storage cabinet that looks, first of all, like something out of Bridgerton, and people will be genuinely confused if they're entering your home or an elegant castle. Second, it's got adjustable shelves and 360-degree movability, so you can customize to fit your eclectic shoe collection.
Promising review: "This storage piece is not only very unique and beautiful, it's sturdy and well-made. It's the perfect solution to storage and will fit in any room of your home. The shelves are removable so you can store an assortment of items and all different sizes. I am a professional organizer and I will definitely recommend this piece to my clients." —Lynne M.
Get it from Homary for $149.99+ (originally $216.99+; available in three sizes).
10. A tall shoe cabinet that will remind you of kindergarten in the best way, since it will motivate your household members to slip their shoes inside the cubbies. Then go take a nap!
Promising review: "I have searched far and wide to find a decent tall shoe storage cabinet, finally found this one, well it is worth every penny! It arrived in perfect condition and was a breeze to put together. All pieces were included and instructions were clear. It is nice and sturdy and looks like it was built into my closet. Each cube is a nice size and even holds booties in one cube if you turn them on their sides laying heel to toe and slide them in. I have a few pairs of sandals and could easily fit two or three pairs in one cube. Very, very pleased with this purchase!" —LEGOC
Get it from Amazon for $199.32+ (available in five sizes and styles, as well as four colors).
11. An upholstered shoe storage bench that will keep your tush happy as you wrestle with your shoes, as well as provide a hint of boho to spice up a plain entryway.
Promising review: "This little bench is absolutely perfect for sitting and putting on our shoes before heading out; we have it in the back hall near the door to our garage. I looked at a lot of benches, but most were too deep for the space. I am very happy with its boho looks and comfort." —Emily
Get it from Wayfair for $159.99.
12. A sturdy bamboo shoe storage bench cabinet destined to become your favorite piece of furniture in the whole house, since every time you sit on its comfy seat and pull out your sneaks in a snap, you'll thank yourself for buying it.
Promising review: "I was looking for a smallish bench that could be sat on and be used in a little entryway location. The price was so reasonable that I didn't expect this bench to be the best. WRONG! It is simply lovely and very well made. Don't let the fair price fool you because this is an amazing value on a HIGH quality item! I really appreciate the fact that there are waterproof plastic covers inside of the slots inside the bench. That way muddy boots, wet mittens, dirty dog leashes etc will not damage the beautiful bamboo. If you prefer, the divider is also removable. The stunning, linen cushioned seat is very comfortable also and holds up to 225 pounds I believe. It is a nice place to sit and tie your sneakers on your way out for a run. My cats and dogs also like to sit there. It's just a fabulous piece and I am so glad I got it immediately. If you love it, don't hesitate. It's awesome!" —Customer
Get it from The Container Store for $149.99.
13. A shoe cabinet ideal for those who want to splurge on a larger piece of furniture but don't ever want to pass up the opportunity to multitask. Shoe holder or classy entryway decor? Definitely both.
Promising review: "This shoe cabinet looks beautiful in my mud room! We had shoes everywhere — were tripping over them constantly. Now they are organized and most of all, out of sight! This was definitely worth the money. We put it together in less than an hour. I highly recommend it." —Susan in VA
Get it from Amazon for $144.98.
14. A comfy cushioned storage bench featuring adjustable, removable shelves and classy shutter doors that will completely eliminate any injuries sustained from trying to balance on one foot to pull your boots off.
Promising review: “This bench is a wonderful addition to the house decor and a very practical one as well. It makes the hallway look clean, well organized. We use one of them to store some board games, the other one for shoes that we wear daily. This bench is comfortable to sit on while putting your shoes on. It feels sturdy too. We get a lot of compliments on these benches. We got two of them, to fit our hallway and that space under the windows. Great purchase!” –ASL
Get it from Amazon for $199.95 (available in four colors).
15. A bamboo entryway shoe bench ideal for a small space, so if you've been struggling to find what home improvements could possibly work for your tiny apartment... ding ding ding! We have a winner.
Promising review: "I bought it on a whim and now my life has improved 900% because of this shoe bench. I live in a small apartment where space is of the essence and this shoe bench fit exactly where it was supposed to — like it was made specifically for this small bit of my hallway. What were the chances? Shoes are no longer flung about but are organized and the extra space on top of the bench is awesome. It took one person maybe 40 minutes to put together, but someone actually skilled at it would take way less than that. The instructions were clear and I couldn't be more happy." —Allegra
Get it from Amazon for $38.93+ (available in six colors).
16. A faux leather storage bench that's such a simple addition to your home, but will make all the world of difference when you realize you won't have to awkwardly stoop to take your shoes on and off.
Promising review: "I bought two of these! This is so perfect for my shoes. I wanted something sturdy, durable, and able to fit a handful of shoes. This does the job! It also looks pretty nice as well. After I bought mine, my dad bought one for his house! I would definitely recommend this for anyone needing a shoe rack!" —College Bound
Get it from Amazon for $55.99.
17. A Nordic-style shoe cabinet that I can only describe as "regal," as well as large enough to store five rows of shoes, featuring two spacious shutter doors that I imagine are very satisfying to throw open to gaze upon your footwear choices for the day.
Promising review: "This is a beautifully designed cabinet to store all my Minnetonkas and my other in-house slippers. The height and width fit in front of one bedroom window and the gray looks great with other grayish furniture. The soft close is a big bonus." —Mari W.
Get it from Homary for $219.99 (originally $329.99; available in two colors).
18. A handy shoe storage bench *and* coat rack here to revolutionize your entryway and organize your menagerie of kicks, coats, bags, and hats in one fell swoop.
Promising review: "I really like this item. I live in a small place and it fits perfectly behind my front door. Six pairs of adult shoes fit on the bottom two racks and the top wood seat/shelf is great for purses or bags." –Susan Martin
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes).
19. A shoe storage cabinet with a zippered cover to protect your kicks from dust and also hide the fact that you own twenty pairs of novelty Crocs when you need to.

21. A stylish color-blocked shoe cabinet because you don't want your prized collection of cools sneakers or designer heels to live in just any old thing. This organizer packs a wow-factor with tons of functionality.
Promising review: "I’m pleased with this storage cabinet and it is a huge improvement from having shoe racks where shoes are openly displayed. If I’m going to have a lot of stuff at least I can try to keep it organized and this will do just that. I wear a size 8.5 women's shoe and I don’t think sneakers any larger would fit unless you did them sideways. It’s much taller than I envisioned, which is great. I did put this together by myself which was quite the task – probably one of the more challenging things I’ve put together and took me probably at least two hours, although I feel very accomplished now that it’s complete." –Geena
