what to do with too many pairs of shoes?

in reality i only ever wear about 4-5 pairs of shoes... that goes with mcduck & snowflake too...
we don't wear most of them all the time... which means they end up moulding in the dungeon (not a good thing esp if you are leather & $$$)...
so one fine day in near 40 degree heat... i took them all out for an airing - hoping that the intense radiation from the bright summer sum would obliterate the mould into nothingness...

the methol and essential oil srpay concortion i prepared did help alittle bit...

so did the ziplock bags and toxic mothballs...
b4 i housed each pair inside the ziplock bag with mothballs, i took mugshot of each pair...


we just had too many pairs! in the hundred +
how on earth were we going to house them, mould-free, but easily accessed (for more frequent future use)?
2 months later... i got to work finally...

back into the fabric shelves they went, but individually ziplocked with photo displayed...



next thing would be to finish the "shoe catalogue" - for flicking through when deciding what to wear...
snowflake said the whole set up is very SATC... but i don't think so... i wished i have kept all the shoe boxes and took polaroids... then it could be shoe storage SATC style...
this way is not bad though... lets hope the mould stays out...
