The Best Wooden Shoe Cabinets for Walking Boots: Our Top Picks

Walking boots need a different kind of shoe storage. They are taller, heavier and wider than everyday shoes, and after a British walk they are often wet and muddy too. The wooden shoe cabinets that suit them best have tall open compartments or adjustable shelves, good airflow, a durable finish that copes with damp, and a frame strong enough to carry several pairs of heavy boots. In this guide we share our top picks by type of design rather than by brand, so you can recognise the right features in any cabinet you are considering. We cover the open slatted rack cabinet, the cabinet with a tall boot bay, the bench and cabinet combination, the adjustable shelf cupboard and the low wide chest for porches and boot rooms. For each we explain who it suits, what to check and where it works best. We also share practical advice on drying, cleaning and caring for both the boots and the cabinet....
