What is it about shoes that seems to take up so much space in our homes? Perhaps it's because some are bulky, while others that we don't wear as often end up sitting around. Whatever the case, it can be hard to find a storage solution that accommodates all our favorite shoes. Sometimes, even traditional storage spaces don't seem to do the trick, such as in our closets, piling them on a rack, or throwing them in a forgotten shoe storage space, like under the stairs. You might think, what are the alternatives? If this sounds like you, perhaps the PeachyModern Wall Mounted Shoe Rack will work for you. 

Unlike the shoe racks that sit in your entryway or mudroom, using up valuable floor space and looking less than attractive, this item looks great and is mounted on a wall. It's perfect for hanging up shoes instead of stacking them in a cluttered mess, plus you can easily see what you have in a vertical fashion. The PeachyModern rack has a light pinewood finish and is adjustable, so you can hang all kinds of shoes, from long leather boots to house slippers. All you have to do is simply adjust the bar to loosen or tighten it. It's sold as a single unit or in packs of two. 

This shoe rack is a quick and easy way to organize shoes, but it has both pros and cons. It's ranked highly by buyers, with a 4.6-star rating out of five stars. Customers really liked that it can fit three or more pairs of shoes, with people leaving reviews like: "Holds 3-4 pairs of shoes and gets them off the floor. Perfect for the backyard and the kids!", as well as: "So far, so good. Easily fits four pairs of shoes." The only con doesn't have anything to do with its function, but with the aesthetic. Some customers found that the color was not as advertised, with one review writing: "Thought it would be a nice light wood colour but it is very yellow." Because it's made from solid pine, it's easy to customize the color with a coat of paint, though.

Since this shoe rack can be mounted on a wall, it's versatile for spaces ranging from the entryway to the closet. You could even use it in an overlooked spot in your home, for perfect hidden storage, such as behind a door or on the side of a dresser. If you buy a pack of two, it may be best to keep this in your front hallway, use the lower rack for shoes, and the upper one for everyday essentials like purses, belts, and baseball caps.
