Are your shoes in the way? Mine were, so I devised a solution. I cut a canvas over-the-door shoe holder in thirds (two pairs per section). Along the top edge of each section I punched a series of holes to thread a heavy cord through. Then a series of nails or screws were fastened on the inside of the under-bed storage compartment to fasten the cord to, so the shoe holder would hang outside the compartment, just below the mattress. This way, you can put shoes all around your bed. The mattress platform hangs out over the compartment walls, so you can walk around the bed without the shoes being in the way.
