.:When you get a place you can have better shoe upkeep

When you're homeless, you have a problem with shoes wearing out. If you had a pair of Merrell shoes, you'd have more problems keeping them up.

When you're homeless you can't find a clean cloth to wipe them off. Stuff like mud, muck, water from tires splashing you...it's all icky.

But when you get a home of your own, you can keep them clean. You'll have a place to sit regularly and polish your shoes with a soft brush. You'll have a place to keep that brush in fact.

You'll be happy to be able to keep a pair of shoes nice and tidy.
