Shoes. Even if you are careful not to go overboard, you probably own enough pairs that storing them is a problem. We have tried freestanding shoe racks, shoes in boxes, shoes in drawers and shoes in bags. We also admit to the tried-and-true method - piles of shoes on the closet floor.

Rakku Designs (www.rakkudesigns.com) has come up with an excitingly innovative product. The Shoe Wheel can handle up to thirty pairs of shoes. The shoe wheel can also handle large shoes (even men's up to size 10.5), as each of the pockets is adjustable. Just slip the shoes in through the elastic bands and they're both put away and easy to see! The Shoe Wheel is about 13 inches wide and less

than 30 inches wide and high. It will fit in your closet or mudroom, and is wheeled so you can easily pull it out and push it back.

This can really help you to tame that savage wilderness of shoes. . .

Your well-shod Girlfriends,

Alex and Suzanne
