{Declutter} Shoes you can’t walk in + {Review} Benjibox

Join me in a week of decluttering. Please comment below if your able to part with today’s suggestion, I would love to hear from you. Are you following the Declutter 52 things in 52 weeks challenge, more info HERE, it’s never to late to start!

#21 Shoes you can’t walk in

Do you have a pair of shoes you have been keeping since your youth?  You wore them on those nights before children when you spent friday nights out on the town till all hours.  Take a few moment to have a look through your shoe collection, today only (we will come back to decluttering more shoes at a later date):

  • remove the shoes you know hurt when you walk therefore you don’t want to wear again.
  • consider, can you see yourself wearing these shoes again?

The shoes pictures are from a lovely friend of mine’s online store Shoe Candy

How to organise the rest of your shoes?

Clear Benji Boxes – are brilliant

50% off for all The Organised Housewife Readers, see more details below

1. Because they look great in my IKEA expedit unit (yes I am still teasing, full wardrobe posts coming in 2 weeks!!!!)  3 stack nicely fitting into cube with a few books alongside.  (Love my Anthea Turner book, she makes me laugh with her turtle shaped towels).

2.  They store shoes very neatly (I had to put these shoes in this box just for the photo, these are a new pair I purchased today, aren’t they cute!!)  I keep the shoes that I don’t wear often in the Benjibox (such as shoes for weddings and formal occassion), and I keep the rest on a shelf in garage.

3.  They have anti slip rubber pads to prevent them from sliding when opening the drawer.

4. Unlike other boxes, these are very easy to use with a simple slide out drawer 

5. Versatile, they can be used for other household items too!

    I have 3 pairs of gorgeous heels left over from my days of working in an office. Being a mummy I now seem to be relegated to anything easy to pull on and style is a thing of the past but I can’t let them go…thankfully this year has come to save my shoes, I have two weddings and a dress up night to attend so those little darlings will be coming back out of retirement. But to make up for keeping these I threw out 3 pairs of old ugg boots, 6 pairs of old/broken thongs, 2 pairs of joggers and a few sandals/slipons.

    I was only looking at my shoes last night and decided that it was time for a good cleanout.  I was just throwing out one pair off sandals, that really have seen better days, when I read your post.  Now, out are going the gorgeous, way-too-high heels that have been hiding in the back of my wardrobe because they look gorgeous – but not in a million years could I wear them again without toppling over and breaking something.  Out go the boots that cause my feet and back to ache every time I wear them.  Out go the shoes I bought one size too small because they were the only size left – and were only worn once because boy did they hurt!   I knew they should all have gone years ago – it often just takes something like your blog to remind me that it’s pointless keeping them cluttering up the place.  It does feel so good once it’s done – that’s my way of knowing I’ve gotten rid of the right things – how good it feels afterwards and no regrets.  Thank you for your wonderful blog.
