So, apparently, if you leave sneakers in a cardboard box for too long, the cardboard absorbs the moisture from the rubber in the shoe, and causes dry rot. Maybe this is common knowledge, but my husband and I learned this the hard way when one of his limited edition Jordans started literally falling apart one day after not having been worn got several years.. Anyway, we began the search for sturdy clear boxes, and came across these. The price was decent and they had good reviews. After receiving them and assembling each one, I can confirm they are fantastic. They're not a flimsy at all, and the best part is they have a magnetic closure on the little door, making for easy access to each pair when the boxes are stacked. I would highly recommend these. The only downside (if it even is one) is that it's tedious and kind of a pain to have to assemble each box, but not a big deal - once it's done, it's done. He's a size 11.5 and even his hightops fit comfortably in each box.
