A sneaker cleaner that’ll take even your most rough-looking pair of shoes and help them become presentable again. It even comes with a brush for scrubbing the dirt away.
The cleaner is super concentrated, so a little goes a long way!
Promising review: “I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don’t go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle.” —Romario
Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in two sizes).

Clear drop-front shoeboxes to make your collection look neat and tidy, while still being able to easily see and access every pair.

Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed
I kept putting off buying these shoeboxes because they are definitely a pricier route if you have a lot of shoes. But I decided to go for it and purchase the boxes in chunks — it’s hands-down the best purchase I’ve made all year! Living in a small NYC apartment, I could never find a way to store all of my sneakers in a way that wasn’t damaging or wouldn’t have them be out of sight (then I would honestly never wear them). After trying tons of different racks over the years, this is the first option that I’ve ever been 100% satisfied with. It looks great, even in my small bedroom, I can see and access all of my sneakers, and the boxes are extremely sturdy. I am obsessed with my shoe wall.
Promising review: “My boyfriend and I are real shoppers, from clothes to household items and most importantly SNEAKERS! We have run into a problem with shoeboxes breaking from the weight of stacking them and these drop-front shoeboxes…well they are our Best Buy EVER! They stack perfectly, they don’t lean, they inner lock with each other so they don’t slide off. They are durable, clear fronts make it easy to see our sneakers, and just an amazing product. We have purchased about 100 of these and are ordering more! I am in LOVE with these drop-front shoeboxes and I tell everyone about them.” —SneakerheadMinda

Or a 50-pair shoe rack with detachable wheels so you can simply roll your massive collection out of the way when needed, while still keeping everything visible and easy to reach for.

Wayfair
Promising review: “The measurements are accurate. The rack is sturdy and of great quality. I was able to fit 36 pairs of shoes for both men and women. I didn’t use the wheels although they are a great addition. I didn’t take into account the size of the baseboard. I used a thick glass to secure the rack in place. Overall, it was a great purchase.” —Evie

Amazon
These charcoal bags can absorb excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes, shoes, and in your bag. To re-charge them, just stick ’em out in the sun for a bit.
Promising review: “I always buy these every couple months because they work and they’re a great price. I unfortunately can have some stinky shoes and feet in the winter, these take care of that ASAP! They don’t have a scent themselves, which is nice, it just absorbs the odor and then it just… disappears.” —Felicia

Under the word Sneakerhead, the print reads: “1. A person who collects sneakers as a hobby 2. Likely to kill you for stepping on their kicks 3. Running out of closet space (cuz the boxes can only stack up so high) 4. On the verge of bankruptcy because the addiction is that serious.”

A set of two waterproof nylon travel shoe bags to keep your babies (aka your favorite sneaks) from getting dirty on trips, in your gym bag, or any other time you need to pack ’em up.
Promising review: “These bags are great. I easily put women’s size eight Under Armour running shoes and flip-flops inside with room for another pair of flat sandals. I shoved my husband’s size 11 running shoes and his flip-flops in another. The set comes with four bags that are a simple black color with good zippers and the ability to hang them by the handle/tab on one end. The ultimate test was when I laid a bag in the sink and sprayed it with water. Inside is dry!” —DeniceAZ
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three quantities and two styles).

A water-and-stain-repellent shoe spray, because that rain and snow has NO RIGHT to ruin your brand new pair of Air Force 1’s!
Promising review: “Works great. I sprayed them three times with an hour between each spray. It puts an invisible lining on the shoe to block from liquids and stains. It’s been two weeks and they don’t have any marks and that’s surprising because they are very white shoes.” —john Farmiloe III
Get it from Amazon for $13.27.
10.
A leather paint set to help you totally customize your kicks with a fresh paint job. Everyone will be asking where you found that unique colorway.
Promising review: “I was a bit skeptical of a shoe specific paint — it seemed more marketing than a real improvement over other paints — but I was mistaken. This stuff rocks! It works well with stencils and brushes, has good opacity, great adhesion, and remains flexible when it dries. When combined with Angelus Paint 2-Thin, you can use it in any fillable paint pen. You lose some opacity but gain the ability to do longer continuous lines before needing more paint compared to a brush. I look forward to working on a few other projects with this paint.” —Xaq F.

Promising review: “I love this for my laptop. They go on so easily and also come off if you want to remove them if you misplace them, even on top of another sticker it won’t rip it. I love the matte finish and there are no duplicates. Every sneaker that is shown in the picture is what you will receive. I covered my laptop and still had so many extra.

A suede and nubuck leather brush cleaner for removing those difficult scuff marks and stains. The salt during winter can cause serious damage to your beloved sneakers, but this brush can help revive them.
The four-in-one brush includes: a welt surface for heavier scuff marks and stains, nylon bristles for a gentler clean on light scuff marks, an arched half-circle brush for easier cleaning on rounded corners, and a thin protruding brush for cleaning harder-to-reach crevices and grooves.
Promising review: “I was really sad when I thought my bucks were at the end of their road because I had always heard that suede couldn’t be cleaned. With this brush and a little elbow grease my bucks are looking great again! Not out of the box new, but I’d say 85 percent which is fine by me. I didn’t use any water or cleaner, I just kept wiping the brush off on my jeans to keep the brush clean, then hit the shoe again with a clean surface. Even brightened the leather up a bit.” —Roberto
