GreencoClear Foldable Shoe Storage Boxes, 5 Pack - Stackable Heavy Duty Plastic Boot Storage Box, Perfect for Apartments, Small Spaces, and College Dorm Rooms, Shoe Box and Boot Organizer

Do you need organization? Do you want to be able to see the boots? This is the key to meet both of those needs.

- I've never bought anything like these, so I expected something like those thin plastic folding-box-thingies that are sometimes used to package candies or other small, fussy items. I therefore opted for the "used" Warehouse Deals item. - Inside of the Amazon shipping box (I had ordered a few other items as well), these came in their own box, which was not a pretty sight, and looked like it had been used as First Base, LOL! But the items inside were in perfect condition, which is what mattered! Inside of the box, they were inside of their own tear-resistant clear bag. As I noted, the look to me to be in perfect condition, and there is a "sticky line" on the bag to re-close it, since I probably won't be using these all at once ;) - As for the items - the folding boxes - themselves, also as I mentioned, they are MUCH sturdier than I had expected! When fully assembled, they are 13 3/8 X 8 1/4 X 5 1/16 inches; they are one piece, with no separate lids, and open at the end. The material is plastic, similar to milk-carton material, and NOT like the clear soda-bottle-type plastic, meaning: fairly stiff but still pliable, not brittle, and translucent - contents are definitely visible but the boxes are not "glass clear". The outer surface is lightly textured with a small-scale grid to add just a bit of extra strength and tear-resistance. Also, probably so they can be stacked without them all sliding and skating off of one another ;) The inside surface is smooth. - The sealed edge appears to be spot heat-welded. Some reviewers noted that theirs separated and "couldn't be glued", but mentioned using glues that don't work with this material, so for anyone who does have any with problematic seals, remember to look for the correct adhesive, or else sew, or otherwise mechanically fasten, any area that need reinforcement. Mine all appear to be well-bonded so far... - One end has a flap with a sort-of tab so that it is a bit easier to open than the non-tabbed end. The design is very efficient overall. - OH!, and each of the long sides (meaning, not the ends, and not the intended top or bottom) has six small, maybe 1/8" or 2mm or thereabouts?, vent holes, so that, if you do use these for shoes, they won't get musty. At the same time, if you store other things in them, the holes are small enough so that things won't fall out. I'll be using these to store tools, things like my jig saw and blades, drill and bits, wood pieces, knitting stuff, and other art and craft supplies that are too small for Storage Bins but too large to just drop into a drawer. - And since most of my things are pretty light-weight, these will stand up to being stacked. - AND they'll also stand up to the humid Gulf Coast climate =:-)

When it's time to tuck my boots away for the season, I would store them on the bottom of my closet either in the box they came in or a plastic bag to protect them from dust. But I wanted to get rid of the aging boxes and bags and find an alternative. This is it!Now, they didn't come with instructions, so I just had to figure it out. As you can see from the picture, I assembled 3 boxes in 3 different ways. I don't know if any of them are right. LOL. But bottom line, they are good enough to neatly tuck away my boots. I'll stack them either at the bottom or top of my closet.

The boxes come flat and you have to fold them into shape which is not difficult. However, latching the end pieces of the box aren't straight forward. On each end there's a slot where you have to fasten the ends with a plastic piece. There are 2 plastic pieces and only one slot. On one end of the box, both pieces don't fit into the slot. The sturdiness of the box depends on how well the ends are fastened. Long story short, I could only stack 3 boxes on top of one another. I have a small foot and don't have really heavy boots. I noticed that the boxes were leaning and the ends were becoming unfastened. These boxes are of no use to me if I can't stack them in my closet when not in use.

I have way toooo many shoes - it is a problem. I am a very organized person and my shoes were out of control. I have a walk in closet in which I use one side and have a book case that holds boots and necklaces and earrings against the back wall. I have that hanging thing that holds shoes that hangs on the rod. I like that, but there is not enough room to add another one. That would not be enough to hold all the shoes anyway. So I ran across these when I was looking for ways to organize shoes. I got excited about these because I have small feet. Size 6! So I knew I could at least get two pairs of sandals in each box. I ordered them and they came on time and were packaged well. I heeded the warnings of breaking the boxes when assembling from the reviews. The instructions are useless! It is very explanatory just by looking at the box. Just unfold them and secure with the tabs. It is that easy! I had them unfolded and secured in a matter of minutes. Then the hard part is where to put them and how to organize the shoes. I decided to take every shoe out of the closet and decide just how to use the space I had left. I kept the hanging shoe thing on the rod. I put my shoes that I wear the most in there. Then I grouped the shoes by color. I labelled the boxes on the front with the color. I could not see the shoes very well through the box. I was able to get two pairs of shoes in each box and even three in some! I did tape the back of the box on each side just for peace of mind. I put these boxes on the floor of the closet under where my pants hang. I was able to stack some of them where there was more room where my dresses hang. I only went three boxes high and these were my sandals that don't weigh much. Now they are in an "L" shape and I can see all the labels when I open the door! I did not put any boots in these boxes. I did not try to. All my boots fit into the book case. However, I am thinking that I should measure and see if the boot version of these boxes would create more room. If so, I will purchase immediately. These boxes brought my shoes from chaos to beautiful organization! I highly recommend these boxes. I think you could use these boxes for more than just shoes. I would not put anything heavy in these. I would think ribbon or yarn or something light and small would be perfect for these boxes.

Absolutely love it. I got this to organize my boots. My closet is so neat. Just what I nedded.

This is not a product I would recommend not it was difficult to make a perfect rectangle to keep the flaps on each end closed.I wanted something sturdy & see thru for my tall boots, this was not it.

Facil de emsamblar, ves que zapatos estan dentro.

Me ajudou muito na organização, material de boa qualidade, chegou bem embalado e fácil de montar

Muy funcionales

After reading the reviews, I was rather skeptical. I had no problems assembling them, if you assemble them correctly they are very sturdy. I love they that they are opaque but you can still see what's in the box. The large size is great for someone with larger feet. They are light weight and do what they are designed to do.

These have not lasted

Están excelentes, prácticas y de muy buena calidad. Al ser transparentes se facilita ver lo que se tiene en el armario; las ventilas ayudan a evitar la humedad; y estéticamente, todo se ve uniforme.No son de plástico duro tipo las Sterilite, pero tampoco son tan endebles como otras que vienen de China. A esas, aunque sirven, tuve que hacerles una zapatera especial porque se colapsaban, en cambio estas cajas GreenCo han resistido unas 4-5 apiladas sin deformarse con el peso. El grosor lo puedo comparar al de las láminas para enmicar.En cuanto a tamaño... Son idénticas a las Whitmor para zapatos de caballero, pero a mitad del costo. Yo pude colocar perfectamente la mayoría de mis botines en ellas. Planeo comprar más para guardar los tennis de mi esposo.Finalmente, el armado es sencillo, pero recomiendo repasar los dobleces bien antes de cerrar todos los tags para asegurarse que quede derecha.
