Abstract
A shoes care device includes a first management device, a second management device, a steam generator, and a controller. Each of the first management device and the second management device may be configured to include an inner cabinet, a connection path, a blowing part, and a dehumidifying part. A supply degree of steam, a dehumidification degree by a dehumidifying part, and a flow degree of air circulated in a connection path can be different between the first management device and the second management device, and as a result, the shoes can be managed under different conditions in the first management device and the second management device.
