    They are Gaziano & Girling's whose pattern I had modified slightly some years ago when they would do such things. .

    The location is Embarcadero One. Regular shines cost $10, $12 or $15 depending on the number of coats applied.

    @1stMarineCapt : Check out the lighting on the trouser and socks, the left leg is in shadow while the right is well lit

    Also, what boots are those? I would have used n Alden Color 8 polish myself (unless you don't want it reddish).

    Impressive, such intricate work! It's a shame that you can't get a professional shoeshine to save your life here in Sweden.
    Keep up the good work Will!

    Polishing ostrich the usual way with a brush and a cloth won't hurt it. A deer bone might.

    I'm in the SF Bay Area. How much does a shine at this place cost?

    @phototristan Apparently, they're made by Gaziano & Girling

    You should ask the customer to point-up their toe in order to polish the backs since it folds up like that.

    @geneisms Perhaps it's just a question of taste. To me they look like shoes at the bottom but the rest around the ankles does not seem to go with them, they look odd. Personally they are not the kind of boots I would buy. Every one to his own I suppose.

    You can indeed judge a man by how he cares for his footwear.

    Awful looking boots, but excellent shine though worth the money, brilliant job.
