It’s the last Thursday of the month and time for my Organizing Favourites post.  This month’s featured product is the hanging shoe pocket.  An affordable, easy to use, versatile product that can be used for so much more than it’s intended purpose (hmmm, seems to be a theme 😉).  Before discovering 20 clever and easy ways to organize your whole house with them, lets briefly discuss what makes them a great organizing product.

5 Reasons Hanging Shoe Pockets Are An Awesome Organizing Product

1. Hanging shoe pockets come in different sizes, materials, colours and with or without clear pockets, making it easy to find one to match your functional and aesthetic needs.
2. Hanging shoe pockets are quick and easy to use. No tools required, just slip the hooks over the door and you’re done. Don’t want hooks hanging over your door or maybe you want to use one on a wall? No problem! Attach command hooks to your door or wall and hang the shoe pocket on those.
3. Because hanging shoe pockets simply hang on the door or wall, they cause no damage and can easily be moved if your needs change.
4. Hanging shoe pockets are budget-friendly. Prices vary depending on size and material, but you can get a 24 clear pocket one on Amazon for $13.01 (Cdn).
5. Finally, hanging shoe pockets are readily available at almost every home store and online.
