A pair of well-polished and shined shoes truly makes a statement. It shows that you pay attention to the little details and will truly make you stand out from the crowd...in a GOOD way!

In this video, we take you through the basic steps to achieve that nice shine on your shoes.

Step 1 - Condition the shoes
Step 2 - Apply shoe cream
Step 3 - Apply 1-2 light coats of a good shoe wax to entire shoe
Step 4 - Apply very light coats of wax, mixed with water, to the toes and heels until you have achieved desired shine

I sadly suffered two strokes at the end of last year. Bulling “ cleaning and polishing” my shoes has really helped to regain far better movement back to my hands. I am ex service , RAF, and always enjoyed shoe care 👍🏻👍🏻🥳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After 50 yrs of shoe shining I find that your process is valid. Old School, use spit...and elbow grease and patience. I enjoy and appreciate your love of your craft. May you Live Long and continue your journey. ThanQ

This was really great. The only thing I would have done differently is, I would have taken out the laces so that my conditioner and polish contacted every part of the shoe and nothing got caked up near the laces.

After waxing the toes of the shoes, how often does the cream need to be applied to re-nourish the leather? Presumably the wax will prevent the cream from doing its job. Does the wax have to be removed? Thank you.

I literally shined up a pair of shoes for work tomorrow just before I sat down and watched a couple of YouTube videos. I did it about a third as well.

I used to be stupid enough to use those terrible sponge shoe shines, can you do a video on “donts” like those?

I like how you polished them Old School meaning using your fingertips . I used Lincoln polish on my low quarters and finished with nuetral polish . I put an ice cube in the lid with the water to keep the water cold.

I'm ex Army and we used to have a finishing step of lightly shining the finished shoe with a woman's stocking or pantyhose. The stockings that have elastene in them seem to work the best.

In lack of a 'better' word - this was awesome. Also, I like the way you use the water - no need for a 'dispenser' and a more basic approach ! Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰

Best mirror shine tutorial I have seen!

I’ve watched about one dozen videos on the subject and this is easily the best. Watch no other. Results in a classic military spit shine.

@powderriverfarrier 7 years ago

Heck yes these videos, especially this one, help. Who else would have told us about the use of the drops of cold water. Don't over estimate what we know. <grin> You guys can likely teach us a lot. Keep at 'em.

Shine on! Thanks, great video. An old army trick we also used was finishing off the shine with a pair of ladies used nylon stockings as a buff, works like magic.

Thanks so much - this was VERY helpful. I get my shoes shined at the airport and hotels often, but I am not always happy with the result and sometimes I need a touch-up at home before an event. This was perfect to understand how to do a shine by myself properly.
