Yeah, I think I'm going with keeping them laid out under the bed. I screwed up by hanging them only one night before I got ceiling hangers from Amazon the next day, hanging them low when I knew it wouldn't do crease damage to the neoprene that quickly, but I overlooked the hanging straps on the boots. I never adjusted the straps so the boots would fit close & snug. It scrunched one of the boots and two days later, it hasn't resumed normal shape. Don't think it's a real problem, because nowhere on the boot's surface is it really creased, just misshapen. But I don't plan on hanging them, because now, no matter how close & snug I get the strap, that boot gets bent a little worse out of shape.
