I can think of one household (mine) where the FILE IT desperately needed. Pedro Gomes’ FILE IT is a [filing system for shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-departamento), designed to help clear up the clutter and confusion that is the [shoe closet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comodo).

Each folder holds up to two [pairs of shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commbi) at once and can be labeled for added convenience. Being able to find all of my shoes in one place would be incredibly convenient. I need FILE IT to go from concept to reality ASAP!
