If you’ve ever tripped over a stray sneaker or spent precious minutes hunting for that elusive second sandal, you’re not alone.
For many of us, especially those with a penchant for shoes (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a pair for every occasion?), finding a practical and stylish storage solution can feel like a never-ending quest.
Enter Kmart’s latest small-space saviour: the 2-Tier Shoe Cabinet, a product that’s quickly becoming the darling of tidy-minded Australians everywhere.
Let’s face it—shoes have a way of multiplying. There are the gym trainers, the summer sandals, the trusty boots for winter, and, of course, those ‘just in case’ heels.
While our wardrobes might be bursting with options, our homes aren’t always equipped to keep them organised.
And if you share your space with a partner who doesn’t quite share your enthusiasm for footwear, the struggle is real.
That’s why Kmart shopper Kate Liermann’s recent find has struck such a chord. Sharing her discovery on social media, Kate revealed she’s ‘obsessed’ with the 2-Tier Shoe Cabinet, and it’s easy to see why.
Not only does it look sleek and modern, but at just $52, it’s a fraction of the price of similar options online—plus, you can skip those pesky shipping fees by picking it up in-store.
‘I looked for a shoe cabinet like that, and everything online is so much more expensive,’ Kate said.
‘Plus, you always have the shipping fee, which can be a lot if you don’t live in a metro area. It’s great with Kmart that you can grab it in store.’
But does it live up to the hype? According to Kate and a chorus of happy reviewers, the answer is a resounding yes. Assembly is a breeze—Kate managed it in under an hour, only needing a quick hand from her husband.
The cabinet is designed to hold 2-3 pairs of shoes per section, depending on their size and style. Kate currently stores 10 pairs in hers, though she notes that extra-large shoes (her husband’s size 14s, for example) might be a tight squeeze.
For kids’ shoes or more petite adult sizes, you’ll fit even more.
The real magic, though, is in the transformation it brings to your space. ‘This has completely changed the foyer in our tiny apartment—I love seeing all the shoes out of sight and out of mind! Definitely recommend,’ raves one Kmart customer online.
Another adds, ‘Easy to make, clean tidy appearance, fits in a small space, perfect for getting shoes up off the floor.’
And it’s not just about function. The cabinet’s clean lines and neutral finish mean it blends seamlessly into any décor, making even the most cluttered corners feel calm and curated.
‘It gives your room a clean & chic look, no mess with single shoes lying around everywhere, it makes me feel tidy,’ Kate says.
‘I feel like it made me love a corner in my house that I never liked before, but now can’t stop looking at!’
For those of us living in apartments, downsizing, or simply trying to make the most of every square metre, clever storage solutions like this are worth their weight in gold.
And with Kmart’s reputation for affordable, on-trend homewares, it’s no wonder shoppers are snapping these up.
Of course, the 2-Tier Shoe Cabinet is just one of many ingenious finds at Kmart right now. From $12 winter warmers to $10 gadgets that solve everyday annoyances, the retailer is fast becoming a go-to for practical, budget-friendly home upgrades.
So, if you’re tired of tripping over shoes or just want to reclaim a little order in your entryway, it might be time to give this Kmart hack a go. Who knows—it could be the small change that makes a big difference in your home.
