OK, I will offer a little help with your dilemma. Reducing the number of shoes is just silly and you can't grow more feet. The solution is expanding your concept of "proper shoe rotation." This does NOT mean giving a day of rest in between wearings to preserve the shoe. Your solution is found in choosing shoes for "morning Rich, afternoon Rich and nighttime Rich."So I realize I want all the shoes. And by all I mean all. But I also want less shoes so I can wear my favorites more often. Worst catch 22 ever

Do you fellas clean the bottoms of your shoes before storage?
Is this a serious question? Lol
Quote: I, for one, do not view the question as silly at all. My PERSONAL routine after wearing a shoe is a quick brush of the welt and across the sole and heel. I then wipe down the uppers with a slightly damp cloth and then a wipe around the sole edge and across the soles to remove the superficial grime. Let dry completely and then a quick brushing before inserting shoe trees and placing them in the bags.
I also have several pairs of Alden shoes with black soles. Those soles are also wiped with the damp cloth and allowed to dry. The final step for those shoes is to wipe down the soles with black edge dressing liquid to restore their appearance. This is likely overkill, but it is my routine and I know the shoes are clean and ready to store for eventual use again. As many of you know, some of these shoes represent a considerable investment, especially if one purchases shell. I choose to really take care of them.
