I was a little skeptical given that this was about 11 dollars, but wow this works fantasically. I have a little shoe tree that holds the season's regularly worn shoes (about 12 pairs for spring/summer or fall/winter) out in the open for me to grab and walk off with. The problem is the other off-season shoes sitting in the middle of the floor of the closet. I don't have a lot of hanging room in my spare closet so this fit perfectly in the space. The shoes fit in this perfectly, sometimes I can get multiple pairs ona shelf depending on the style of shoe (I've gotten up to 4 flip-flop/sandles into one but those were super small and thin). The velcro is holding very nicely, I haven't seen it budge since I put the hanger up. I've got the canvas looking one... I haven't had to wash it yet, but for the price I wouldn't feel bad to give throwing it in the washer and letting it air dry a try(I think the dryer would ruin the velcro). I definitely recommend this if you're trying regain some floor space and sense of order in your closet.
