Slip shoes into hanging shoe bags. When you finish, you should be able to see all your closets' floors and back walls. Now give everything a good vacuum and you'll have significantly reduced the amount of dust in your house.

Keep some soft slippers in a basket by the front door for people who don't want to walk around in their stocking feet.
