How do you care for your shoes?

I guess it's a blokey thing but I don't have that many shoes and I do try and clean them to make sure they are not dirty or scruffy, I get through shoes quickly as I am heavy on them so they don't last me long. I always take them off as soon as I get indoors and straight into my slippers. I have a shoe rack which they go into save me tripping over them or getting squashed or lost or dirtied.

WOW 32 pairs of shoes, that is a lot Tina :) I only have a few and I usually just wipe then down. The slip ons x2 i wash them by hand and leave them on the porch to dry out. I have not worn my boots or heels for a long time as I am mostly in sandals or jandals. Sneakers are just wiped down and if they get wet then I put newspaper in them and leave them for a day or two and the paper absorbs the water.

I have a good collection of footwear too for different occasions and take ample care that they are maintained in good shape. Normally i clean them up before restoring them and maintain them in seperate boxes.I dont need to polish them all as most of them can be cleaned with a wet cloth and they are back in shape.

You're supposed to care for them?! LOL, just kidding. I just don't have any that need much special care. I have my old but comfortable Nike's that I throw in the washer once in awhile and wipe clean in between washings. My second pair of sneakers just get wiped off. They are the ones I wear intentionally to get dirty. I have a new pair that I haven't decided on yet. They are cordoroy uppers with a double thick rubber sole. Wiping them off probably won't clean down in the grooves of the cordoroy very well but I also don't want those big soles bouncing around in my washer. So until I figure something out I'm just being extra careful with them.
