Store Knee High Boots

Knee-high boots can be difficult to store in a way that maintains their shape. Make it easy with this nifty trick.

Steps

Zip up the sides of your boots in readiness for storing.
Roll up an unwanted magazine and insert into one boot. (You will need to hold the boot up as you insert the magazine.) Immediately it will uncurl and fill the boot shape.
Roll up a second unwanted magazine and insert it into the other boot. It will also uncurl.
Put your boots in a standing up position in your shoe storage area. The magazines will ensure that the boots remain upright and retain a good shape.
Repeat after each wear.

Purchase a few pool noodles. Wait until they're on sale to get the best value, such as at the end of summer or during a summer clearance of pool items.
Measure the noodle to the height of your boot.
Cut the noodle at that height.
Zip up the sides of the boots if needed.
Slip the noodle inside the boot. Repeat for each boot requiring storage.

Use soda or other slim bottles. The bottles need to be slim enough to slip into the boots.
Drink your soda, juice or milk. Empty the bottles and clean them out. Allow to dry completely.
Fill a little with sand, pebbles or water. This gives the bottle some weight. You don't need to fill more than halfway for stability; even a quarter will usually suffice.
Zip up the sides of the boots if needed.
Slip the bottles inside the boots. Place in storage.

Keep a stash of finished calendars. Those ones you can't bear to part with but are never going to look at again.
Zip up the sides of the boots if needed.
Roll up a calendar per boot leg. The thickness created by various pages will make a nice, strong roll.
Slip inside each boot to be stored. Place in storage.

An empty wine bottle in each boot can also work for some boot sizes to keep the kinks out. Make sure it is cleaned out first.
Empty paper towel tubs can also be used; tape together two or three (measure the size of your boots by inserting them first) and then cover in fabric or contact.
Always allow boots time to dry before putting away. Do not dry in front of heat as this will cause them to crack. Remove any salt, etc. from the boots before storage.
You can also buy shelves just for knee high boots to put in your closet, but this will be more expensive.
