Shoe Storage

For something as beautiful as an Upper Street shoe, storage is incredibly important – now that you have this beautiful footwear in your possession you’ll want it to stay beautiful forever. Not only that but a true shoe lover understands that certain feeling. You know… the one when you just want to open the door, admire your collection, sigh a little, maybe take a pair or two out just to hold them and feel all is right with the world again.

By choice, we’d all have a walk in closet such as the one above belonging to Christina Aguilera… and as many pairs to fill it! And of course a maid to come in daily and lovingly run a feather duster over them to keep them dust free and ready to wear.

For many of us, the pinnacle moment of the first Sex And The City movie was when Big showed Carrie her new closet with that shoe rack  – the collective gasp could be heard in cinemas around the world!

For most mere mortals, a built in shoe rack would feel like wardrobe heaven. There are some fantastic storage solutions out there that will give you that “Carrie Bradshaw” feeling every time you open the door. What about a hotel for your shoes – don’t they deserve the five star treatment after all? Save Your Sole London offer up a customised solution enabling you to build your own shoe hotel to specified measurements and include any combination of rails, shelves and cupboards. We want!

If space doesn’t allow for such luxury, storing your shoes in the box they came in is vital in order to protect them and guarantee easy location of a matching pair. At Upper Street we provide a cotton pouch, which is great for further protection and handy for travel.

Some of us have been known to take box storage to extreme levels by writing detailed descriptions of the shoe on the front edge of the box… and then graduating to photographs. At Upper Street, we take pictures of every shoe we make so if you’d like us to send you your picture to attach to your box, get in touch!

Another great solution is to buy clear storage boxes such as these from The Clear Box Company – they come in a variety of sizes, including a selection big enough for boots.
