Good evening. We found a shoe cabinet worthy of your entryway. Plus …
“Finally, a place to stash all the shoes cluttering my entryway” |
 |
| Caroline Mullen/NYT Wirecutter |
If your entryway is currently overrun with kicked-off shoes, a standard shoe rack may not be enough to keep your space looking tidy. Instead, consider this handsome cabinet our cleaning expert prefers for hiding her shoes out of sight — and out of mind.
It looks more expensive than it is, fits up to a dozen pairs, and takes up very little space. The compartments are also ventilated, which helps prevent any funky odors from developing. A bonus: The top of the cabinet is a great place for keys, a lamp, a vase, or any other small decor. Cute.

Plus: More gear for small entryways |
 |
| NYT Wirecutter |
Beyond the shedding and tying of shoes, a lot happens in the little area near the front of the door: grabbing poop bags for the dog, rifling around for an umbrella, figuring out where to put the mail, and much more. In other words? The entryway can get messy, fast.
We found some good-looking solves, including a magnetic key holder, a cute mail sorter, and a skinny storage table.

Today’s great cleaning deal: A very heavy-duty storage bin |
 |
| The Container Store |
Of all the storage containers we’ve tested, this was the only bin that we felt confident would protect against moths or keep water from seeping in. It’s very secure — each bin latches at six different places around all the sides — making it great for long-term storage.
We found it for $11 today→
One last thing: Yes, you should be wearing shoes indoors |
 |
| Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter |
Let us be clear: We’re not telling you to wear your street shoes inside. But you should also avoid going barefoot around the house — because the impact of the hard ground against your feet can compound over time. Slippers are protective, aid with recovery, and prevent long-term foot issues.
