shoebox
Sneaker storage box
A shoebox is a cardboard box designed to hold a pair of shoes.
Because shoeboxes are sturdy, uniform, and accumulate in closets, they become storage containers for photographs, letters, receipts, and small keepsakes: I found the old letters in a shoebox in the attic.
As an adjective, shoebox describes cramped spaces: a shoebox apartment.
