Good grief! I'm worse than a woman, I have 11 pairs of boots/shoes. Then
my wife and daughter have all their shoes/winter boots/sandals.

LOL! My husband has more shoes than I do.

We have limited space, since our home is a raised ranch/bi-level. Our
doors on the closets are the bi-fold type, so I can't go with one of those
shoe racks which hang over a door.

No, but the ones that hang in a closet can work for the 'frequently needed'
sets. Tuck the seasonal stuff away in the laundry room perhaps?

Right now, I have some metal shelving in the laundry room, which holds the
majority of the boots/shoes, plus laundry stuff.

The only place I can think of storing our footwear, would be on a wall.
Any ideas on building a shoe rack for a wall in the laundry room?

Those over the door pocket sorts can also hang on a wall. Warning, they are
often not big enough for men's shoes so check the sizes of the pockets
first.

I had an apartment once with a mud-room/foyer with coat rack. A previous
tenant was asian and shoes were left there. He made a rack with angled wood
knobs you would suspend shoes from by the ties or heels (depending on type
of footwear). Kinda looked like a giant cup holder such as you may see in a
kitchen. You could also hang coats on it.
