Shoe-Go-Round


By now, you've heard about the Shoe Wheel, that clever storage solution for shoes that had everybody from Guy Kawasaki to the Budget Fashionista talking. Well, now moms can jump for joy because Rakku has just introduced a shoe wheel for the kiddos! Called the Rakkiddo, my guess is this is going to revolutionize the way shoes are put away in about a minute flat. (Am I wrong?)

Designed with the same unique construction as the Shoe Wheel, the Rakkiddo holds up to 20 pairs of kids shoes. Easy to slip shoes in and out of, the shoes are held in place with elastic bands. No more running late because one shoe has gone missing!

Exclusive for One Chic Mama Readers
Win a white Rakkiddo ($49.99) to help keep your kids' shoes organized. Simply leave us a comment(include your email address) about the Rakkiddo before Midnight, EST, May 23rd. Please note, all comments are moderated and may not appear immediately.

I never thought you could store shoes cutely...I sure was wrong. This would be another reason to stay out of the mud!! Dirty shoes wouldn't be quite as cute!

melonkelli said...

Wow, that is really cool!

ajavagal said...

What COOL solution to the mess of shoes that pile up and because of it's design, I actually believe my kids (& hubby) would use it.
Very creative!

Jenmomof4 said...

What a great idea. I have never heard of this thing. Fabulous! I have four kids and we have a shoe off at the door policy. So this would be great to file them neatly away when not in use!!

Wow, my daughter doesn't quite own enough shoes to fill this wheel, but perhaps it could be inspiration for more foot fashion.

Ginny said...

Oh my could I use this. I have 2 daughters & shoes are everywhere. I really struggle getting them to put them away & I bet this is so fun they would love putting shoes away!

lace said...

How fun would this be for my shoe loving nieces. They are always changing shoes several times a day and leaving them all over the house.

Heather said...

Gosh I would love to see that in action but I'm afraid it would just be a big toy for my toddler!

B said...

Oh!This would be heaven sent. For some reason I find my daughters shoes everywhere and this might give her the incentive to actually put them in one place!

frugallm said...

This would be great for my daughters shoes! We live in an old house which means very little closet space!

Staci said...

So cool! My two little girls loce their shoes so easily and this would we perfect. It beats the drawer they are currently stored in.

bethany said...

My son's shoes are everywhere-I've never seen one of these before-what a great idea!!

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...

This would be incredible for our family - the only real place that we have to put shoes is right inside the back door and everyone always trips over them when going on or out of the house or even just down the stairs to the basement. What an amazing invention! :)

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...

What an incredible idea! Our only place to keep shoes is right inside the back door, where they are always getting tripping over. This would be awesome for us! :)

Heather said...

If my kids had a Rakkiddo, I would never have to remind them to put their shoes away again! YAY!

With 5 kids and 3 of them under 9y.o. , this would be a God send!! We have shoes EVERYWHERE!!!

This innovative contraption might give me back years of my life. All of those 15-30 minute searches for lost shoes, with three children chasing at my heels might actually be OVER....

Just think of all the fun things I could do with that extra time!

jennem said...

Great idea! My daughter loves to look at all her shoes anyway, they are her favorite possessions.

crystalf said...

How cool! This would really help out in my girls' room. All of their shoes are just piled up in a corner and looks terrible. Thank you!!

D. said...

Yipppppeeeeeeee, reclaimed floor space!!!!!

Stephanie said...

What a cool contraption! Let's see...my daughter already has 6+ pairs of shoes and she's only 20-months-old. This little wheel would help me keep everything organized and easily accessible.

Thanks,
stephanie@metropolitanmama.net

Sara said...

Wow, I must really be out of the loop (no pun intended) I haven't seen these before. It'd sure be a step up from our old lego box which holds shoes at the moment.

dcsweeps said...

What a great space saver and a great way to see so many shoes at once

nor_lou said...

0Wow with two little girls who love shoes (almost as much as me) we have plebty of shoes to fill this plus we would not misplace half a pair of shoes meaning we might make it somewhere on time :)

This looks amazing! I love the wheels...easy to roll in & out of the closet.

courtneystoffel said...

This is awesome! I haven't seen anything like it! Very unique! It would be perfect for my son's shoes that are always cluttered!

Miss Erica said...

This sounds great! My daughter's shoes are stuffed in a few drawers, and sometimes it's hard to keep them together. Also, as her feet get bigger her shoes do, and they won't fit in those tiny drawers much longer. I've never heard of the Shoe Wheel, but it and the Rakkiddo look great; I want one too! Thanks!

Princess Golden Hair said...

wow that looks like the ticket to help keep the kids room more organized.

Stacey Moore said...

we could use several of these!! what a neat idea!!
thanks!

lyn21 said...

This would be great for my daughter. she has way too many pairs of shoes.

Deb said...

Wow, this is the coolest thing. Not only would it help keep the kids room organized, but I think they would find it so fascinating that they would literally fight over who gets to put their shoes away!!! Would love to win. Thanks for the giveaway.

Sarah Berry said...

This is a great idea. I'm always losing things especially shoes. THanks for the giveaway.

Becca said...

What a fun idea. I'd love this as long as my daughter doesn't expect me to get her enough shoes to fill the thing.

This prize would be a godsend my my house with shoes everywhere!

Rivster said...

We've successfully trained our two older kids to leave their shoes in "the shoe box." However, the baby is now crawling and has started to use the shoe box as a teething toy! So this would solve that problem in a flash.

Bunny B said...

Wheee....!! Awesome shoe rack! I love this!

Hi , Just wanted to say a big thank you to you. I first came across this fabulous shoe storage product on your blog and, as they say in the classics... was so impressed I bought the company! Well not really but am now selling and distributing it in the UK through tszuji. Thanks again. Shoe Wheel by Rakku now available at tszuji! By the way if you loved the girls from Sex and the City have a look at what Sam and Carrie think of tszuji!!
