Costco's Stackable Closet Essential For Neat And Tidy Shoe Storage & Organization

Whether you have a sprawling shoe collection or own just five pairs of sneakers, it always seems like shoes end up in a mess on the floor — be it in your entryway or even your closet. The fastest way to fix this issue is to give your shoes a permanent (and neat) home, and Costco can help. The warehouse store's clear stackable shoebox organizers provide a tidy cubby for each pair of footwear, making it easy to return them to their designated spot, rather than leaving them on the floor. 

These stackable shoeboxes are exactly as they sound. They're clear, plastic containers with hinged cubby doors, allowing you to easily store the shoes inside. This not only gives the items a designated resting spot, but also keeps them protected from dust and dirt. Therefore, it negates the need for you to clean the cubbies routinely (unlike open shoe storage solutions). These boxes are conveniently stackable, letting you create a configuration that's best for your space. Here is a closer look at the genius shoe storage solution you can shop at Costco.

Stop saving bulky shoeboxes, because you can store your shoes in this easy-to-access way instead. Costco's Stackable Shoebox & Organizer costs $69.99 and comes in an 8-pack. Each box has four connectors on its base, allowing you to lock it into the container underneath. This ensures the boxes won't slide around and that the stack won't wobble. Because of this, you can configure them to fit any shape you like, whether you want two neat rows along your closet floor, or to stack them vertically into two towers to make use of open wall space. It's an easy shoe storage hack that will organize your closet in a pinch.

Though they work great when stacked on the floor, you can also place them on top of a dresser, top shelf of a closet, or any other open space you might have. And, since they're made of clear plastic, you can also prominently display the boxes in your room to show off your favorite pairs. This is especially great to do if you have a sneaker collection or designer shoes. 

Clear shoeboxes aren't anything new, so how does Costco's version stack up against similar options found in stores like The Container Store or on Amazon? In some cases, Costco's are more affordable, and in others, they have a better design. For example, The Container Store's Drop Front Shoebox Set is $80 for a set of six, making them $13 each. Costco's version comes out to under $9 each. However, Amazon has the most affordable options, with a 6-pack of boxes clocking in at $45 (though often sold at an even more discounted price), making each individual compartment around $7, or far less with the sale price.

But Costco's design is the most beneficial. The compartment is roomy enough to fit up to a men's size 14 shoe, measuring 15 inches deep and 9.4 inches in height. In comparison, The Container Store's version is a little bigger, boasting a 16-inch deep box, while Amazon's is 10.6-inches deep, fitting up to a size 12. However, Costco's version has both front and side door access, allowing you to grab the shoes from different angles, and therefore providing endless options for configuration. This is great if you want to display your shoes from the side. Neither Amazon nor The Container Store offers that design feature.
