My neighbor's package sat on my porch for three days and I finally opened it.
It was a pair of $120 running shoes from a brand I know he likes, and I was worried they'd get stolen (porch pirates hit our block in Tacoma twice last month), so I brought them inside, opened the box to check the contents, and now I'm wondering if I crossed a line by not just leaving them out there or knocking on his door first.

Look, you did the right thing. Those shoes would be gone in a heartbeat around here. Opening a sealed box is a bit much though, I get why you're second guessing. Next time, maybe just slide a note under his door saying you have it. But honestly, if he's mad about you saving his stuff from thieves, that's a weird hill for him to die on.

Honestly, it's just shoes. You were trying to be a good neighbor and keep them safe. It's not like you tried them on or kept them. If he gets weird about you opening a box to confirm what it was, that's kind of on him for letting it sit out there for three days. People get so bent out of shape over nothing sometimes.
