Vastu Tips For Shoes: Have you ever thought that even a small thing in your home can hinder your success? According to Vastu Shastra, shoes are considered the biggest source of negative energy, as they carry all the dirt and negativity from outside into the house. If your shoe rack is placed in the wrong place, or if your shoes are not placed in line with the principles of Vastu Shastra, it can hinder your financial progress and good opportunities. Even a pair of slippers kept at the main door can anger Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.
Below, we will explore four important Vastu mistakes related to shoe racks, which, if corrected immediately, can purify the energy in your home and open the doors to success.
5 Vastu Tips For Shoe Rack And Shoe Placement
1. Keep Shoe Racks Away From The Main Door
The biggest Vastu blunder people often make is placing shoe racks directly in front of or too close to the main door. The main door is the passage through which Goddess Lakshmi and all auspicious energies enter your home. Keeping shoes near or on this path is considered a major obstacle. It is as if you are deliberately blocking opportunity and prosperity from entering your home! Therefore, always ensure that the shoe rack is not visible from the main door, and that shoes are always arranged on a side wall.
2. Right Direction To Place Shoe Rack - West Or Southwest
Vastu Shastra suggests keeping shoes and racks in the west or southwest. Shoes bring in outside energy, which can be negative. The west stands for stability, and the southwest is good for storing heavy objects. Placing shoe racks in these spots can help manage that energy, so it doesn't mess with the good vibes inside your home. Doing this may help your career by bringing success and stability.

3. Use Closed Cabinets Rather Than Open Racks For Storing Shoes
Always use a closed shoe cabinet with a door instead of an open shoe rack. Shoes release their odour and negative energy into the environment. A closed cabinet keeps these impure energies and odours contained, preventing them from contaminating the clean air and positive vibes in your home. Using a closed cabinet is not only good for cleanliness but it also balances the energy in your home. A neat and hidden shoe rack brings clarity and mental peace to the home, which are essential to attract success.
4. Do Not Keep Shoes Or Shoe Racks Near These Places
Shoe racks or footwear should never be placed near or in the Puja Ghar, master bedroom or kitchen. The Puja Ghar is the most sacred place, and the kitchen is the centre of nourishment and health. Placing sources of negative energy in these places disrupts health and spiritual peace. The bedroom is a place of rest and love, so storing shoes there can cause tension in relationships. If shoe racks are placed in these important places, they can seriously hinder your success and happiness, so always keep these areas free from the energy of footwear.
