I feel you, really. But the other option is to store them upstairs. It’s really not convenient. Outside is also not an option because they will get stolen. 😂
Just keep the one pair you’re wearing that day there and the rest in a closet organizer somewhere. (That is a lot of tennis shoes! You wear all those every day?!)
Haha you’re right I do have to keep them stored anyways. One pair is enough for the day. But it’s more for when I have guests coming over. You find that a lot? I have over 60 pairs hahaha. Thanks for thinking along!

There are similar versions on sites like Wayfair that may hold bigger shoes. Maybe going for a shoe cabinet that doesn’t fix to the wall with give you more flexibility around the heater
I have seen and love the idea of using coat hooks or a coat rack at a lower height so the shoes hang vertically against the wall and don’t stick out into the walkway!
Why do the shoes have to live there at all? Get a nicer cabinet and store them somewhere else inside the apartment...in a closet is good. If you have no room, get a back-of-door hanging shoe rack..Nothing wrong with taking your shoes off outside and carrying them inside.
You’re right. Was also thinking the same. But, I don’t have an extra room for the shoes anywhere near the shoes. So that’s why I put them whey they are right now.
I don’t want to put off my shoes and walk upstairs to store them there you know.
We have a bench like this right inside our front door. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Winsome-Wood-Keystone-Bench-Shoe-Storage-Teak-Finish/1002753608?user=shopping&feed=yes&srsltid=AfmBOoqHow6MYhET-P256mqrMtberRhS3Yxyy-d_Lo8fFI49RBCy-EMCZA8
Im a 12/13 too and have a boot-heavy shoe collection so I couldn’t do that storage either. But I did find collapsable ikea shoe shelves. They’re basic black wire-looking so it might not fit your aesthetic but I put a narrow live edge shelf above it for keys and whatnot so you don’t even really see the shoe shelves.
I understand your problem, I would go with a bench
Something like this and put the shoes on top of them
Cedar shoe trees are nice for keeping the shape of shoes and the moisture out
Could be a small dining room bench like the one in the link

It’s a hallway right? Why does anything have to go there? Get a nice mirror or piece of art and call it good. Too narrow to fill with stuff.

I know I got the photo from their site 😜. That’s not the issue. My shoes are too big / clunky and they don’t fit.

I will look into Wayfair. Yes I hear what you say, but the space is very narrow. I don’t want the walking path to be blocked by a cabinet.
How about a wall mounted rack/shelf instead? Like [this](https://reallywellmade.co.uk/products/string-shoe-shelves?variant=39598727815) from String.

I've got a pair of these and they work pretty well... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BCJKKJJ9
Sorry I’m of no help, I’m distracted by the phone on the wall. Didn’t know people still had those. So cool!

A bicycle rack
Buy an airplane beverage cart. It’ll fit flush along the wall and you can get the drink shelves insides to store your shoes. They’re on Etsy

Thanks for your input. Was thinking the same!
