I just obtained my first pair of nice shoes. AE Fifth Avenue in brown. Got them used but in great shape on Ebay for $65 shipped. Wore them to a wedding yesterday and I am absolutely in love with them.
My problem is I have no idea how to take care of these things. I have AE shoe trees on the way, but I'm hoping for some advice as to what kind of 'shoe care kit' I need. I'm willing to put in the time to take care of them, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff and not buying stuff that I don't need. Can anyone suggest a good starter kit that won't break the bank? Is it worth spending the 90 bucks on the AE shoe care kit? It does look nice and I plan on getting a few more pairs in the future so maybe that is worth it. I just really don't know where to start. Not interested in getting them super shiny or anything, I like the way they look now. I just want to make sure I'm protecting the shoes so they last.
As much as we care about our shoes around here, it seems like there would be a post covering this, but my searches have come up empty. Thanks for any help guys.
