Vaastu Guide

Shoe Rack Placement

Shoes carry dirt and the energy of the outside world. Vaastu suggests keeping them in the right place so that this energy does not spread into the home.

Best directions

  • West or south-west, inside the house.
  • Outside the main door to one side, never directly in front of it.

Where to avoid

  • The north-east and east, which should stay pure.
  • The pooja room, kitchen or bedroom.
  • Directly in front of the main door.

Good practices

  • Use a closed shoe cabinet rather than open racks.
  • Keep shoes in pairs and in good condition; discard torn or unused shoes.
  • Never keep shoes upside down.
  • Avoid wearing outdoor shoes inside the house, especially in the kitchen and pooja room.
