Born from a New York City closet mishap, Voot LLC makes flexible boot shapers that keep stored boots upright, crease-free, and ventilated. After three years of testing and prototypes, the company developed inserts for everything from knee-high fashion boots to sturdier mid-calf styles. Voot uses American plastic materials and manufactures its boot shapers entirely in the USA.
