The soaked mat
It absorbs water—until it is saturated. Soles stay on a wet surface.

Why rethink the boot rack?
You already have a place for boots. But where does their water go?
Storing pairs is only part of the problem. These everyday limitations inspired Rakabot.
The pool
The tray catches water, but boots sit in it. Emptying it means removing the footwear first.
The drip-through rack
Shelves free up floor space. Open slats also let water drip onto the pairs below.
The floor takeover
More pairs mean more trays on the floor. The entry fills up without separating soles from water.

The difference is in the drainage
Water has its place. It’s not the floor.
An inclined shelf catches water from footwear.
The channel directs it into the container.
Empty the container without moving the entire rack.
It started with a real problem
An idea born from a busy family’s everyday arrivals.
As an engineer and a father, Sébastien Lassonde knew wet, crowded entryways well. Rakabot grew from that experience: boots didn’t just need somewhere to go. Their water did too.
The answer was a rack that gives water a path, from shelf to container. A simple idea for coming home—and for spaces where everyone arrives at once.
Today, the same idea serves homes, daycares, clinics and businesses: separate footwear from water and make everyday upkeep simpler.
