For the price this item is great for shoes. The only complaint I have is that I cannot stand my boots up because they fall into the back space when I close it. I have to turn them sideways and that wastes room. I think that the back slant board should have been wider to prevent shoes from walling back. FYI, I wear 6.5 in women's combat boots. I don't know if a larger size boot would be more secured?
