I don't always purchase things for their intended purpose.  And this shoe organizer certainly isn't getting used for it's intended purpose.  I needed something to help me get organized.  Something to hold medications, a few tools, those dreaded cell phone and computer cables as well as a few odds and ends.  This "Organizer" is PERFECT for organizing all thoose small things you are always using but can never seem to find.  I'm sure it works well with shoes too so I might slip a few pair in on the bottom or even better buy another one.
