I used to be very sloppy... just throw them randomly in the closet with sneakers scattered all over the place. But, I have since learned to treat them better as it will keep give them more longevity in better condition/appearance.
I actually started neatly lining the ones I don't have original shoe boxes for up in rows and am now graduating to using clear boxes for some of my more prized pieces.
*pic is not my collection but similar enough to give an idea*
