Usually I have three pairs.....however the other day I had none which was unusual! I have a rug sitting back there for others to leave their shoes so when the kids come over there are at least six pairs by my back door! Do you leave your shoes by your back/front door? Do they sit on a rug or do you have a shelf to put them on?

My shoes are either on my feet, in my closet or by my bed. But we do have a shelf by the garage door into the house and the kids often put their shoes there.

Mine are in the Kitchen as that is close to the Door, I have 2 Pairs sitting there lol
They are there ready when I take little Man out as he gets so excited if I had to go in the Bedroom to get my shoes he would trip me up as he runs around me when it is time lol

We don't have any shoes by the front or back door. When it gets all snowy and sloppy outside, I will slip mine off by the front door on a rug and get my slippers. My husband will do the same but only if I insist he takes them off. I can get real lazy but never seem to leave shoes sitting out or around the house. They are kept in a closet so I can find them again. Sometimes I'll leave my tennis shoes out because I wear them most days.

Hey jill! I don't have any shoes sitting by the door yet! But,
once the weather starts getting colder and more rainy and snowy
then I will put out my rubber tray and there will be boots
sitting there! In fact, today is a really bad rainy day, but I
haven't gone out so I have no wet shoes, but my boyfriends does!
And he just walked right into the house with them! I have old
messed up carpet right now so it really doesn't matter at this
point! But, once the snow comes I don't need to have snow and
ice throughout the whole apartment!

I set a shoe shelves right infront our door,so,when kids arrived from school,they can just put their shoes at the right place.
I hate seeing shoes everywhere,or trying to search when you needed it.
We had lot of pairs of shoes at the shelves now,more than 20pairs i guess.
Have a good weekend

Most of our shoes are kept by the front door. I don't have a carpet or anything, there's not really enough space, we just try to line them up beside the love seat right next to the door. I also try to keep only the shoes we're currently using out there... like in winter our sandals should be put away, but that doesn't always work out so well.

I have a small shelf to put them on, but sometimes the kids still leave them at the front door. You know how kids are, too "busy" to play...he he he...no time to pause. But I always miss them when my front door is not cluttered with their shoes and slippers. happy weekend.

Usually there are 3-4 pair of footwear at the front door or at the back door. Some of the shoes are kept in boxes. The footwear which are meant for daily use are kept on the shoe shelf.
