Whether you have a minimalist footwear collection or an affinity for heels that rivals Carrie Bradshaw’s, chances are you could use a better method to store your shoes. A good shoe rack can simplify your life by sorting your kicks—and it should look nice in your home while it’s at it.

We spent more than 30 hours researching shoe racks, interviewing professional organizers, and assembling 18 by hand to find the best ones: wobble-free, easy to put together, and durable.
