Since I just finished helping you decide how you would organize your shoes, I cannot leave the subject without mentioning the need for shoe maintenance.  I have some shoes that I really love.  I really love them because they are really comfortable.  I’m sure you have a few pair like that… I find that having a small shoe maintenance kit is a must since we want to keep our comfortable shoes for as long as we can.

Here’s a content list for creating a shoe maintenance kit:

• Buffing Brush
• Suede Brush (only if you own suede footwear)
• Sneaker cleaner
• Black and/or your color choice of shoe polish
• Scuff  polish
• Buffing cloth
• Shoe laces (if you wear sneakers or other laced shoes)

I put it all together in a clear zippered pouch (like those packages used for window valances you purchase).  You can store the shoe maintenance kit in your closet or the coat closet if you want your family to have easy access to it.

Here’s a photo of my shoe maintenance kit.
