bobbyshinton 59 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Me I seem to wear trainers or casual shoes where scuff gives them character. Never seem to see / hear of people polishing the shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get mine done by a little Moroccan chappy for 20 pence. Seems to know what he's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 47143 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Not properly. Just with one of those things that puts a sort of black paint on them. I went to a shoe-shine bloke once in America, and he cleaned the then-girlfriend's suede shoes with Windolene. Fucking ruined them. She tried to talk him out of doing it, but he (little Italian fucker) was adamant that they would be as good as new when he'd finished with them. ("Trast me madam, I am-a an ex-a pert-a!")

Craig 6702 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 My work shoes and my black cat boots get polished from time to time. My dad never forgot his national service days and used to polish my school shoes up so much they were like mirrors. I used to spend the whole walk to school scuffing them up again to avoid the embarrassment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I use the paint on stuff that Gemmill describes, only got it in black though. I recently got some brown shoes and at christmas my secret santa pressie from work was a shoe polishing kit. Might give that a try on the new ones eventually.

She went to quite a bit of trouble to get another lass something nice for a tenner. The person getting hers couldn't be arsed/forgot and gave her a tenner. The true spirit of Xmas tbh.
