Each Quarterly box comes with a letter from the curator detailing the items included and why they were selected. The theme of this box is all about shoes!
Free Pair of Wilson Shoes - Value $49
This coupon is for a free pair of Wilsons Greats, you do have to pay shipping though ($7). (The coupon also works on the Wilson Suede version, which is $59) We haven't received our shoes yet, but looking at their website it seems that this company is all about craftsmanship/quality, so I have high expectations!
Jason Markk Premium Shoe Cleaner Essential Kit - Value $16
I originally thought this kit was just for dress shoes, but it works on most materials: leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, vinyl, nylon, cotton mesh. We'll definitely use it!
Richer Poorer No Show Socks (2 Pair) - Value $15
Laced Up Laces - Value $10
We've received Richer Poorer socks in subscription boxes before, and they're a great quality sock brand. (The sock pair you can't see in the picture is solid blue). I don't think we've ever run into a situation where extra laces are needed, but at least these are a basic black.
Baggu Large 3D Zip Bag - Value $12
I know I shouldn't be so excited about a shoe bag, but this is the one travel item I always remember I need right when I'm packing, and then forget to order for my next trip! And I already have a few Baggu items in this stripe print, so that's a bonus!
Verdict: This box has a value of about $102 (Or $112, if you use the coupon for the suede version of the Wilson shoe). Considering the cost of this box with shipping is $108, and you have to pay $7 shipping to get the shoes, I'm disappointed in the value. I like the curation and the theme this month, and the Greats brand is a new discovery to us, but I would have liked to see them add one more item to this box to get the value above the cost.
