Preventing messes before they happen is key to an orderly home. While you can’t do much about accidents, like knocking a quart of milk off the table, you can keep mud, salt, and slush off your floor with an inexpensive boot tray—as long as everyone in the house remembers to remove shoes at the door.
There are tons of durable, high-quality boot trays on the market, so it can be tough to find one that best suits your space and needs. Read on for our top recommendations, plus things to consider before you shop.
