I’d seen this on Pinterest a long time ago but hadn’t tried it.  I have two pairs of boots that fold over in my closet and take up extra space, space is a premium, lol.  I finally remembered to track down a pool noodle I had used for a party prop.  I found it in the barn over the weekend and cut it to fit the height of my boots (simple sharp kitchen knife).  LOVE!!  Perfect solution to droopy boots in your closet.  😉
