Most shoe storage hides shoes in boxes, behind doors, or in deep bottoms of wardrobes. Out of sight equals out of wear. Shoes you forget about don't get worn even if you like them.
What works
Visible storage of the 6-8 pairs you wear regularly. Clear shelves, open rack, hung pocket organiser on closet door. Less-worn pairs in boxes for the few occasions they make sense.
What to cull
Pairs unworn for 12+ months. Pairs that fit oddly even if you like them. Multiples of similar styles (you'll wear one; the others sit). Most wardrobes contain 50%+ shoes that earn no shelf space.
Audit shoes annually. Keep the 8-12 you actually wear visible; donate or store the rest. Wear-rates triple when shoes are visible.
