As our “adorable” Airedale has chewed through OH’s latest pair of sandals, I’m hoping to find a better way of storing them than the floor.
I’m wondering about one of these shoe storage cupboards which are not too deep and don’t take up too much room. However, OH has large feet and I wonder if the storage compartments will take his shoes.
Some look of the cupboards look pretty naff, so would like a better quality version if possible.
Anyone any experience please? Something like this?
We have a fabric hanging rack which goes on a hanger in the wardrobe and doesn’t take up too much space. It was big enough for my shoes (46). It came from Amazon, I think, years ago.
Thanks Porridge - OH has one. It would help if he used it! 
So I am looking for something that might have more appeal.
My daughter has a similar shoe cupboard from IKEA. I think it has 2 drop down ‘drawers’ and a top drawer for keys and bits. It is big enough for her partner’s shoes, size 10. I think there would be room for her father’s size 12s! It is quite narrow (front to back) and doesn’t take up too much space in her tiny house. Looks neat.
But that doesn’t look very Airedale proof. 
We’ve got this one - seems to be big enough.

I have a shoe cupboard like that, very handy too as not too wide. Originally in the old house I had a big cupboard designed for shoes as there were four of us and it came from BUT. You can get them in almost every big DIY outlet, CentraKor and IKEA plus online too.
I’ve certainly seen them in Centrakor and there around a dozen different ones in IKEA
How is your new Airedale getting on, otherwise ?
Would she jump to get shoes? If not could you just use shoe pegs?
I’m a great believer in having things that one uses on display. The minute things go in a cupboard they breed and you end up with many unused pairs of shoes.
Might something with a seat be useful?
Says the tilted shelves are 36cm deep inside, so maybe deep enough?
Thanks everyone - I’ve seen them in Centrakor - MDF and looking a bit cheap and cheerful. I’ll have a look at the ones in Ikea next time we are in Bordeaux - we may have to take a spare size 14 shoe with us to see how well they would fit.
She may not jump, she doesn’t need to, she just stands on her hind legs, which brings her up to my head height.
I also think the cupboards look neater and might invite the idea of keeping them tucked away. We’ll see.
@KarenLot - can’t remember who I’ve told what - Rona had to have an op at the same time as I did - not ideal - both her elbows because of dysplasia (puppy disease). She is progressing, but not as fast as the surgeon would like to have seen - he says his operation was perfect, but it’s what the owners do afterwards that determines whether the dog fully recovers - so we’ve had to go back to basics with her - restricted to being in the kitchen (in a cage would be impossible) and 5 minute walks on a short lead. Hopefully we will get there with her, but more slowly than we hoped.
EDit: thanks @Susannah but I like the slimness of the cupboards with the sloping innards. I’m trying to fit this into a narrowish corridor
Always my first port of call! Taking a shoe to reconnoiter is very wise.
