The lady has been dropping not so subtle hints for awhile that an improvement in shoe closet organization could come from an unlikely source-the shopsmith.
My view is that shoe organization comes from organizing the shoes you don't use into the trash heap- but clearly my logic is flawed to even conceive of such a ridiculous idea...
So back to the shop !
I had some leftover shelf boards-which for life of me, I cant recall where I found- these look familiar to anybody ? I think they were ~ 6 or 8 ft when i started.

Using scraps I had laying about-I built some support/attach frames and assembled.

I purchased some tongue and groove pine slats for the back.
One thing I am realizing is that glue-ing is one of the slower processes I have and this is made even slower by my limited selection of clamps . I think all my clamps are in use in the following pic.

Finally I got the wife and teen to kick in some sweat equity on the shellac and final sanding.

After dragging it up the hill- its now in its new home. I see there is still room for 1 more pair of shoes on it ! hahah
Looks like a nice closet addition but where do does she hang up all her clothes?
Yes I'm guessing it is an entry closet.

Nice shoe shelf.
Around here they call that "project pine" , all the big box hardware stores have it.
So she collects shoes, you collect Shopsmiths, Seems fair to me.

Don't you know it.
When I still lived at home, some of my mom's clothes appeared in my closet one day. I figured it was just "creep" but some time later I mentioned them, and it turned out they where put there accidentally and she was wondering where they had got to.
