Shoe Storage: Keeping Your Footwear Organized August 25, 2009

My friend Al says one of the reasons he is glad he is a man is that he does not have to wear red shoes every time he dons a red shirt, nor blue shoes when he puts on his blue suit. Still, he has a pretty good number of shoes in his bedroom. He has a few formal dress shoes, two black and one brown. His casual shoes are of the same colors, the boring black and brown. I saw two loafers. No black this time, but there is still a brown. The other is beige. It is his running shoes that fill up his shoe storage rack. I counted six, mostly white with black and gray patterns, but there is a gray with orange accents, and a blue and white combination. There is also a pair of green flip flops.

He organizes his shoes quite well. Like shoes stay together, with the formal footwear staying at the top of the cubbyholes, followed by the casuals. The loafers follow, while the runners stay at the bottom, along with the lone flip flop. He says he never varies their parking spaces, so that even if he is still groggy from sleep, he knows exactly where to get the shoes he wants.
