I really like the slug idea - i mean, how did that slug get all the way up there? It's not impossible, but certainly improbable - especially as he's brought half a mouldy cabbage with him 😕
ASBO
The guy who I'm fairly certain removed all insulation and plasterboard from his side of the wall just so he could listen to me shagging
How did you find out? Did you spot it through the spyhole?
Erm.... this is all well and good fun and everything... but does anybody actually know the answer to my query?
Where's the enjoyment in that?
[i]Drugs, cars, kids, shit, now shoes[/i]
Dammit Bob, can't believe I missed Beyonce and sound voyeurism! 😆

FTFY (you dirty perve).

As long as it wasnt a larger hole used to stick something through! 😉
Granny knot shoes to their door handle?
Hoof shoes downstairs as you leave?
Leave a rubbish bag in the communal area?
Uncooked stuffing mix placed inside shoe(s)?
😆

As in:
Am I correct in thinking that this is in fact against the law
Almost certainly not....
But if you think it is, you should call the Police asap.
Get a cat.
Train it to poo in shoes (often they don't need any training).
Hide your own shoes.
Sorted.

Are you new here?
Start leaving ever-more-ridiculous shoes of your own blocking the entire hallway. Finish off with one of those fibreglass ones with a slide you used to see at theme pubs.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Chip in together for a shoe rack?
tie the laces together and lob them over the nearest telephone wire?
I'd probably end up just kicking them about the top floor, tah or leave the close door open with a note and arrow upstairs saying 'free shoes'

His living room was next to my bedroom. Old tenement flat so the walls were very thick, yet for some reason you could hear what each side was doing with frightening clarity. As though they were actually in the room with you. I hadn't done anything on my side so I can only guess that he had stripped layers away. He was very odd. Truck driver. Fitted every stereotype.

Did you pull out without indicating? That will have riled him.
Sikaflex them to the ceiling..
or nail them to the floor!

In answer to the OP's original question, no it's not illegal to leave shoes in the hallway. Communal escape routes should be clear of obstructions. The main issues are usually bikes locked in hallways or buggies/pushchairs.
The landlord/freeholder should have regular fire risk assessments depending on the deemed risk of the building. The risk assessment will record any issues and it will be passed back to the landlord to act accordingly.
Usually, the assessment picks up missing signs, defective fire doors etc and it's a simple case of a maintenance/repair job to bring the block up to standard.
In your case, I'd contact your managing agent or landlord and put the question to them. The best you can hope for is a letter from the landlord to your neighbours but it depends on whether a fire risk assessment deems the shoes an "obstruction".
Are they Japanese?

good work all, proper good laugh. We're still awaiting picture of shoes!
Thank you dknwhy. Yes well done all, 64 posts to get an answer is pretty good going.
I'd opt for one of the following. High strength adhesive to bond the shoes too the floor or maybe his door. Cat or dog poo (your preference) in the shoes. Start using them to keep old, unwashed socks in. Plant watercress in them. If they're decent shoes simply borrow them for doing anything that will involve them being ruined. Communal area, so must be communal shoes!
I bet all his pairs of shoes look like this.. [IMG]

Has no one seen "The One's Below" leaving shoes in front of the door can all very quickly escalate!
Slug/toe interface is always a pleasureable sensation.
After a long day walking on the Island of Kerrera I discovered that a slug had hitched a ride in my boot. To say it took a long time to clean out my boots and my sock is no exaggeration and getting slug slime from under your fingernails is no easy task.
Invest some time fraying the laces to the point they will snap.
Place a little stone under the insole.
It's funny how minor that seems when you're not there, and in the grand scheme of things it really is, but its things like these that drive you crazy!
Get a cat.
Train it to poo in shoes
Close encounters of the Turd kind?
The hot girl who used to open her front door and hoover her hall in her lingerie
Best euphemism ever.

Itching powder.
Or just keep pulling the laces through so one side is longer, or adding knots so it's difficult to tie the shoes 🙂
is he waiting for you to clean and polish them? do a good job might get a tip
Take them (presume you see them before he gets up?) and put them into a charity box. Deny all knowledge if he confronts you about it. Continue to do this until either 1. he stops 2. runs out of shoes.
Either way it will stop. Problem solved.
Alternatively, ring on door, and tell him that's what you'll do...
And if he gets mad and chases you, he's barefoot so you have the advantage.
Hoof him with the flats.

Unfortunately it's hopelessly wrong. English property models do not apply to Scottish tenement flats.
Sit outside the door in just your pants caressing his shoes.
Tie the laces together and sling over the nearest cable above the street, seems to be the way around some parts of Cheltenham.

Well done.
Invite them round for a meal? Build a relationship?

Please explain? The regulatory reform order 2005 is for England and Wales but I was under the impression that Scotland have similar fire safety regulations regarding communal areas.

And while he's there chuck his shoes out of the window? Whilst he's wearing them.
I like your style.
Put dog poo in a paper bag.
Light paper bag.
Ring his doorbell.
Watch and wait.
Do this a few times and he'll soon learn that he needs his shoes inside his flat.
