These days it would be extremely unusual, but in the past I've encountered small shoe cleaning cloths, and found them very useful. They are usually of a fabric that doesn't shed lint, so they're helpful for wiping down devices with screens, getting travel stains off a suitcase, or actually buffing up one's shoes.

The HP/HH CDG has plenty of USB charging ports in the rooms, but the rooms probably have never even seen a shoe kit. The Canopy Hilton Trocadero in Paris also does a decent job with charging ports. For a while I had never seen USB C charge ports in rooms, but now I’m seeing them too in France as well. A nice amenity to have so I don’t need to swap the plug contacts of chargers and can instead just use the cords.
