    I remember traveling around with my dad and he would never pass up a shoe shine stand. In the early 70' they were still common in most public high traffic places. He would have me get one also and as a kid it was mesmerizing. My mother told me that one time he saw a very young black teenager giving shoe shines and my dad as always was game on. My mom told me that my dad had tears gushing from laughter because the young craftsman was getting polish all over my dads socks. My dad was always a sharp dresser and on this occasion he wore light colored socks. My dad thanked him and gave him a big tip.

    That’s probably one of the best shoe shines I’ve seen in my life. I’ve worked in shoe sales the last 7 years of life. I literally see shoe shines EVERY day. This guy I want to say does a better job than “Jason Dornstar” if y’all want to see his work. Both good shoe shiners, but this... this... mind blown.

      Stained the shoe laces, not very detailed. Most people saying good job probably have not had their shoes shined often. That should ok e shine is like getting your car washed at the gas station . When you go around the world you'll see a real shoe shine.

It’s like 9 minutes of solid commercials! 😂😂 idk to each their own I guess but it didn’t do anything for the video that’s for darn sure. And this guy in the chair was talking super loud, over the background noise I presume, but the camera was right by his face so we got the brunt of the extra volume. 😂 idk I would’ve preferred if we could hear more of the work. I don’t want them to feel like they should be total mutes or anything like that... but being a tad more mindful of the volume of your voice when you’re 8 inches from a recording vid/microphone would be greatly appreciated. Just a thought. haha
