How to get your shoes shiny - James May's Manlab
@MidnightRider we used to be given Kiwi brand paste
I still have the occasional nightmare every now and then
@elmaxx Kiwi will give you a shine but it will also dry and crack the leather. Both sides of my family were shoe makers, I never met either of them but I polished a lot of shoes as a kid and more as a corporation guy.
@MidnightRider cracked leather..... that certainly explains a lot
@elmaxx We had to use shoe trees in the single digit ages, nobody else in my school ever heard of them. 😂
@MidnightRider I need to get new boots soon, going to try to locate Meltonian polish, thanks for the recommendation
@elmaxx You won't regret it, other than the cost will be higher than Kiwi.
@elmaxx Brand of polish is key, Meltonian is good juju. Use an old toothbrush for the sole edge where it meets the upper.
