This is a nice full kit for your basic shoe shine. The brushes are of good quality and are easy to hold while your are brushing off the polish. The polish is wax based, so note that. I got this product because I just bought a nice pair of dress shoes and have found out that regular polishing and use of a shoe tree will double the life of your shoes. This is a great small investment to extend the life of my shoes. Its a wonderful starter kit and if ever you need other items you can just add to this package.
