Twice a year, on a sunny, dry day, I arrange in the driveway all the shoes that have accumulated in the front hall, mudroom, and garage, like so:

September's shoe parade

We all browse our own clusters of shoes and decide which to put away, which to keep in rotation (near the door), and which to say goodbye to.  At the end of today, we had a big box of shoes that no longer fit or suit us, and only two or three pairs each in the mudroom.
