Introduction

Despite having a reasonably sized shoe cabinet, family footwear often spills into the entryway. To solve this problem, I designed a shoe organizer that allows you to stack shoes vertically, effectively doubling your storage space.

Description

• This organizer is designed to stack shoes vertically within your shoe cabinet.

• It features an ultra-thin design to ensure that even stacked shoes can fit within the height constraints of standard shelving.

• Note: Naturally, shoes with thick soles at both the toe and heel may still exceed the shelf height when stacked. For such items, standard storage is recommended. However, for women’s pumps or slim sneakers, this organizer maximizes vertical space efficiency.

• Two versions are available based on the thickness of the shoe's toe area: 3cm and 6cm. Please choose the size that best fits your footwear.

• Unlike similar products, the upper tier is not fixed to the lower tier. The angle of the upper tier adjusts dynamically according to the heel thickness of the bottom shoe. As long as the combined thickness of the toe and heel is less than your shelf height, your shoes will fit perfectly.

Assembly

• The design is optimized for 3D printing without supports.

• The anti-slip stopper (which prevents the top shoe from sliding off) is a separate part. After printing, insert the wide base of the stopper into the grooves on either side of the hole in the upper tier by tilting it in.

• Once the stopper is in place, you may apply adhesive between the stopper and the upper tier if necessary.

• Snap the upper tier into the lower tier. The upper tier is designed to rotate freely.
