Hi again folks!

I have a small hall, and my shoes and boots are taking over the floor!
I need a shoe rack of some kind, but only have 60cm width of wall
space to put it, behind the front door.

I'm having great difficulty finding anything this narrow, and would be
prepared to get a small shelving unit this width if necessary -
however I can't find one! I don't want to spend loads of cash, cos I'm
on a pension!

DIY...

Wooden dowel, cut to 5" lengths drilled, then glued into some lengths of
1 x 2" timber so they come out at a 45 deg up angle. Make it either
horizontal or vertical, to suit your location. Shoes hang by their heels
from the dowel 'pegs'


I find shoes, especially flat bottomed ones, fall off if the angle is
too steep. I'd go for horizontal.

Another option is to do something creative with 1" steel mesh as
shelves. Stainless would be cool, but probably costly. Galvanised mesh
would work well though.
