Dear Anon,

1. I agree with you that lots of Singaporeans have no more space in their flats for a shoe rack inside their house or it is too inconvenient as there is no second door.

2. As I mentioned, ( it is only my opinion and `habbit' as I believe that for now, shoe rack placement is secondary. Not much research has been done in this area).

3. Usually, it is preferred that shoe racks have ventilation holes and a cloth would be an equally good alternative.

4. This area has to be looked into further.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
