Re: Comfort issues - shoe storage.

I must be doing something wrong. Can't think of any reason for more than 3 per person.

And high heels? On a boat? Hmmm... must be supermodels for photo shots...



Or maybe Europe is just so very different from around here...

Well, Chris, you even know me "IRL" and I'll admit there are only 4 pair I'm usually wearing in heavy rotation, depending on season, plus running shoes, but I can run down a dock in high heels and I still like to go out and fem it up at times or have business suit and heels type meetings on occasion. And although I parted with more shoes than I kept, I made hard choices to get down to the rather ridiculous 40-ish pair I still have. I think what you'll have in type and quantity depends on whether this is your full time forever home and all shoes come with, or this is vacation cruising, where I'd think a half-dozen pair are a lot.

I have one of those linear hanging organizers full plus have shoes sort of stacked in storage cubbies behind the dinette. Most important thing is good ventilation so they don't get mildew!

OK, fair point, full time living aboard is different from our situation so maybe I spoke (typed) too soon.

But I'm still not wearing any high heels!

I bet while cruising the West Med. Lady would have from time to time the opportuninty to wear high heeled sandals or shoes for nice dinner ashore. Not only in Cannes or Portofino

Is St. Barth or Martinique so different? I'm not so sure...
