Sterilite Set of 10 6qt Storage Bx- White

I purchased a set of 10 Rubbermaid shoe box’s online at the Walmart website. They sell for less than $22.00. I then noticed this brands blue shoebox’s but I was not interested in the blue and wanted the clear. Finally, I saw these clear shoebox’s with white lids but sold out online. Today, at the local Walmart, I purchased 25 of these for $0.88 each. If you do the math, you know that there is only about .30 cents difference. The good thing about buying them locally, I could look thru them, and know none was damaged. For comparison, the Rubbermaid are wider but shorter whereas the Sterilite is longer but more narrow. In the Rubbermaid, I can place two pairs of shoes in one, depending on the shoe size and bulkiness. In the Sterilite, I had to fandangle the shotes a bit to get them to fit. The Rubbermaid stack better and they also snap close better. Now for some TIPS: Shoes, especially leather shoes, need to breath. That’s why you see most shoes you buy in shoe box’s, with some ventilation and even silicon packs. Therefore, for leather shoes you don’t wear often, you might want to either punch some holes in the lid or simply remove the lid from time to time. ALSO when transferring your shoes to plastic box’s, save the silicon packets and the tissue paper. You can place the tissue paper in the plastic box to help protect it and the shoes, along with the silicon packet. NEVER put wet shoes in a plastic box….make sure they are dry first or they will probably mold or worse. I’m glad I purchased a set of the Rubbermaid box’s but since it’s just shoes, Sterilite is getting my vote due to the huge difference in price.
