My big tip is don’t have more dress shoes than one can fit on the back of a door.

I love shoes.
But I don’t love lots of them.
They smell, they’re awkward and putting them on a shelf just takes too much darn effort.

On the floor of my closet, I have a wood crate that holds my running shoes. On the back of the closet door I hang my dress shoes. There are twelve spaces. Some spaces hold two shoes, some only hold one.

One new pair comes in?
(One old pair moves out.)

Sounds brutal, I know.
But keeps me current and my shoes in good condition.
