Storage Units

The first part of the home a person will see upon entering your room will be clean and tidy. All the shoes will be perfectly stored in a unit right beside your door. 

Of course, if you don't like building, you can purchase a shoe storage unit from retailers;however, they are often made of cheap fabric and malleable metal. They just don't look quite as good as a handmade shelving unit.
