The Buy: Rakku Shoe Wheel

 

I have a lot of shoes. And not just "don't know which pair to wear today" lots, but "so many I can't even remember them all" lots. Inevitably, this leads to some boring shoe choices — instead of digging through boxes of shoes, it's easier to slip on those trusty flats.

Now there's hope. The Rakku Shoe Wheel ($59.99), a 29-inch-high, hamster-wheel contraption, holds up to 30 pairs of shoes in 20 expandable pockets. Just insert your shoes through the elastic cords and adjust so they're snug. Clear vinyl sides and pockets mean you can see all of your shoes at once and insert heels without any snags.

The wheel accommodates up to a men's size 11, but the kid's version, Rakkiddo, fits up to a women's size 7. Or, do what I did: Get the bigger one — then go out and buy new shoes to fill it.
