Thanks for the responses everyone. I’ve been offline for a couple of days (no cell service or internet in Yellowstone
), but have had a chance to check out all of the responses.
To answer a couple of questions:
My new place is a condo at the base area of a southern VT mountain. We have a locker where we’ll leave skis and poles, so just need to sort out boots for our family and guests.
We’re planning to put a bench outside of the door in the common hallway for people to change into and out of their boots (a lot of other apartment owners in the building seem to do this) and I’m looking for a set up where they can leave their boots just inside the entry way to the apartment (the entry way is next to the kitchen). I’ve included a photo here to give a better idea.

You can see a tray on the right side of the photo where the current owner presumably stores boots. There’s an outlet not to far from that just out of picture.
That seems to me to be the right spot to keep boots to make sure the condo doesn’t get messed up from wet boots sitting in bedrooms etc, and it seems like there’s plenty of room there so that people won’t be impeded getting too or from the door.
I’d like whatever solution we go for to look at least a little presentable and neat, while understanding at the same time that it’s a boot drying area - I’m also mot expecting it to look like a piece of high end furniture or fine art.
