Abstract: The shoebox photo ID system is a shoebox (5) that has a plurality of end panels (10), a plurality of lateral side panels (15), a bottom, and a lid (25). Attached to at least one of the panels of the shoebox (5) is a pouch (30) adapted for removably holding and displaying a specially prepared photograph (35). The photograph (35) includes at least one view of the pair of shoes in the shoebox (5), thus enabling a consumer to easily identify the pair of shoes in the shoebox (5) by viewing the attached photograph (35). An alternative embodiment includes an additional photograph (20) of the pair of shoes permanently attached, embossed or printed on the shoebox panel.
