This was a perfect, inexpensive way to store all of my shoes in my closet. If you have really tall heels or bulky tennis shoes, the space between the bars may be a little low. I had to strategize which shoes go above/below other shoes, because it could easily knock others off. Otherwise, I have a lot low heels and flats so it works perfectly for those. Also, I wear a size 7.5/8 and I can fit about 4-5 pairs across.
