No, I pay someone to shine them for me because I'm not poor

>>13421882
Do you pay someone to fuck your wife too?

>>13421887
Not if I can watch.

>>13421887
Of course not. I pay my shoeshiner so I can fuck his wife

>>13421867
I love shining my shoes. It's relaxing.

>>13421970
My man, it's like therapy. There's nothing like kicking back at the end of a long day for a little spit shine.

I don't need to regularly shine my shoes/boots, but I do regularly apply conditioner.

>>13422210
That's all you really need. To be honest, even though I enjoy shining, the best care for a shoe comes from regular application of creams or conditioners from a good brand and using wooden shoe trees. Saphir is well known as a top cream.

It's how I learned. You're gonna fuck up the first couple of times, but it won't ruin your shoes, so don't worry.

Good article, if not a bit overkill for the average Joe.

>>13422362
It's a long read, you're right, but it's one of those things that is worth learning how to do properly.
On a side note, the dude who runs the blog started his own shoe brand years ago, called J.FitzPatrick. I wish it wasn't so expensive to import to my country, cause he has some beauties for sale.

Obviously

yeap, feels good.

post the Alden.

>>13422397
Damn right. It's a lost art. The only reason I ever heard about it is because I'm .mil

I never heard of this brand. Just looked it up. Averaging about $300, not too bad for high quality shoes. I might order a pair to try out!

Just be sure to order something out of the ordinary, because those shoes are made in Spain. If you are going to pay mid tier UK made prices, you better buy something you can't find on UK brands.

>>13421867
No because I'm not gay

>>13421887
Of course not, my bull do it for free.

>>13423977
Shoes make the man. Why don't you shine out above the masses?

>>13421867
Yes
They could be better

>>13424381
You can polish those after graduating bootcamp you know, shipmate

Bump for more shiny

>>13421867
WHAT? i'm poor bitch i'm wearing converse

>>13423977
You at least condition, right???

>>13425206
umm sweaty, I don't even condition my hair so why would I condition my boots ?

>>13424381
>>13424397

Jesus Christ, you skate rates disgust me. I was an AM and our boots never looked like this because we actually worked everyday. But please go on, tell me more about how you deserve the #1 EP because you did more community service and college credits due to the massive amount of free time you had doing nothing.

>>13425366
bragging about what?
all the shoes in this thread are trash

Kiwi wax is awful

What do I use instead?

>>13425366
>skate rates
>implying I'm enlisted
Loving that mandatory 8 hours rack time

>>13425614
Kiwi wax is perfectly acceptable. Most shoe waxes are. If you want to spend some money get Saphir.
