The Shoebox is a small cardboard box made to hold a single pair of shoes. It is a container rather than clothing. Most of its value lies in what is packed inside it when it is found.
A shoebox found in the world always comes with something in it. Most often that is a pair of Shoes. Fancy Shoes, Strapped Shoes, Sneakers and Western Boots can turn up inside as well. Opening one is a quick way to get footwear early on.
Once emptied, the box is light and holds very little. The cardboard also burns, so an empty box makes good tinder or fuel for a fire. Shoeboxes are found in bedroom wardrobes and lockers. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The box holds only one unit of items. It halves the weight of whatever is put inside, but with so little room that saving is tiny. In practice it carries one small item or a single pair of shoes.
The Hatbox is the closest match, with the same small room and the same weight saving. The Jewelry Box and the Cigar Box hold twice as much. The Lunchbox holds four times as much and is the better pick for carrying small food or tools.
The shoebox is carried in the hands or kept inside a larger bag.
Locations
The shoebox is a rare find. Wardrobes in houses and other buildings hold it now and then. Bedroom lockers and bedroom wardrobes turn it up at the same low rate.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Any building | Wardrobe | 1.5% |
| Bedroom | Locker | 1.5% |
| Bedroom | Wardrobe | 1.5% |
Notes

- Western Boots inside one are rare, and the snakeskin and embroidered kinds rarer still.
- An empty shoebox is good tinder and fuel for a campfire.
- The box is worth opening and leaving behind, since it holds so little.
