Boot Stiffeners

Probably not the right name. They're the thing that you would put inside boots to keep them upright while being stored. The ones I remember were two "half-moon" pieces of plastic with a piece of spring steel in between. The local Kohl's had them in some of their display models, but don't sell them. I spent an hour on Google yesterday without success ](*,)

Suggestions will, as ever, be welcomed.

I just looked on eBay and found something called boot shapers. They seem to fit the description you gave? Not sure how well they work tho, but maybe I need a few sets hahaha

#-o Shapers. The only word I didn't think of using. The Container Store sells them at $9.99 a pair in a pretty pink! Local Bed Bath & Beyond stocks them too!

Thanks so much Karin! (--)

Apologies for references to the US stores, hadn't realised that you're in the homeland!

If all else fails, you could use PVC pipe in the inside of your boots.
It might be cheaper than buying boot shapers

Got them this afternoon at the local Bed Bath & Beyond. Also picked up a cheap, yet effective, jewellery tray :-)

The shapers hang up, that's what I've done just now.

I've used the shapers and they are just fine. The nice thing is that you don't have to hang the boots up nor do the boots have to even stand up. The boot have kept their shape.

I missed out on the pink *pout*....

Failing all else you could always try a rolled up newspaper.

That's what I do, use a rolled up newspaper. Not so cute as pink shapers though. I will have to look for some next time I'm at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Just to clarify, the pink ones are at The Container Store. BB&B only have white :(
