I've also called out high hazard and high pile combustible storage for some shoe storage areas based on the types of shoes being stored and what they were manufactured with.

If you applied (assuming you meet the criteria) misc storage and could prove it was a class II or lower commodity you might be able to get down to OH I, but with the plastic and rubber content of modern shoes and Class III being the lowest class that generally allows any type of plastic content, I think it would be hard to make that argument, but ultimately deciding the commodity and "which" OH classification to apply is up to said FPE.

Question is that the total height of the space is 8'-0" and there are rows of heads between each row of shelves. Would this be more like OH1 because the storage is less than 8'-o or OH 2 because of the quantity?
