Abstract: An apparatus for the storage of boots, shoes and other objects. The apparatus comprises one or more shelves that are supported by one or more support members, and a storage vessel positioned generally beneath the one or more shelves. The one or more shelves receive one or more boots, shoes or objects and are held by the one or more support members at an inclined horizontal angle such that water and debris from the boots, shoes or objects deposited on the one or more shelves is encouraged, through the operation of gravitational forces, to run or flow off the one or more shelves and to be deposited into the storage vessel.
