While we're sad to see our long run of warm, dry weather ending towards the end of this week, we are looking forward to one of the best things about fall - boots! An essential wardrobe staple, we wear boots with everything and our collection is growing.

We do have one issue - storage. Boots do not fit well onto a shoe shelf, laying them flat takes up too much space and they sag and fold when sitting on the floor, which leads to premature wear and tear. Besides hanging them, which is not practical, boot shapers or supports are the answer. We've come across a couple of solutions for you:

Booty Shapers : These inflatable boots supports slip into boots while they are stored and keep them upright. Available in three different, fun patterns, Booty Shapers are sold online at www.goneshopping.ca for $11.99 a pair.
