Boot Stands – For Free

I have a lot of boots. A lot. I don’t like when they flop over in my closet because they take up extra space and it puts stress on the shaft of the boot. Have you priced boot stands lately? They go for anywhere from $15 to $250! Even at the bargain price of $15 x 30 (and growing) that’s $450 just to keep my boots standing straight. I could buy – well a LOT of boots for $450. So I started looking around my house for something I could use to keep my boots from flopping over and ended up rolling a magazine and using a couple rubber bands to hold the roll in place.

 

Simple and free. It doesn’t get any better than that!
