Friendly advice: If you live in a small space and need an efficient way to organize, I highly recommend getting a hanging shoe rack.

For less than $10, my sanity has been restored or at least improved.

Also apologies to folks following me, I’m not usually this high volume, but I’m sick (and have been for a couple days) and this is the first day I’ve been able to properly rest.
(And yes, this is what I’m doing with it 😂)
