# Stockroom-Inspired Shoe Shops Feit's Shoe Store Design Intentionally Resembles a Storage Space By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-store-design References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/05/04/feit-san-francisco-jordana-maisie/) & [feitdirect](https://www.feitdirect.com/) Feit prides itself on making handmade shoes and its divergent approach to footwear demanded a shoe store design to match. The [luxury Australian leather shoe company's store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stocker-lee-architetti) in San Francisco was created by designer Jordana Maisie and it boasts a look that resembles more of a back-end storage space than a customer-facing showroom. The [boutique shoe shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/base-store) sets itself apart by making all of the interior's storage spaces fully visible rather than concealed. While boxes upon boxes are typically stacked in a stockroom that's out of sight, the store integrates its simple cardboard packaging in an orderly way. Since Feit's stock is accessible from the main showroom, the shoe store design is not just aesthetically pleasing but incredibly practical and time-saving too.
