    Because of both you , your the reason im polishing shoes from thrift shops and donating it to high school kids for the first interviews or Vets. Even my wife has joined in at the hospital and talking to individuals who are running certain programs so I can donate some of the shoes. Even though the saphir products are very expensive it is absolutely the best on any shoes. Since i retired now it keeps me busy.

    Nice to see such passion. People tend to neglect their shoes but it really makes a difference. it also saves money because you don't have to replace your shoes as often if you maintain them properly. Actually that's the same for all pieces of clothing too. it's less expensive to maintain them than it is to replace them.
    Thanks guys.

    Very nice to see these gentlemens’ collaboration in an art that was slowly disappearing before they showed us that everyone can look good in a nice pair of shoes and doesn’t take much to make the shoes look great. The two best finally together and was waiting for. Both my late grandmothers’ born in the 1880’s said emphatically that you can always tell a gentlemen by their shoes and that shoes make’th the true gentlemen.

  • @Lorax_Tribe

    Excellent show! I hope people can see that the well dressed gentleman doesn't just afford more expensive shoes and clothes, but he takes care of things, takes advantage of a deal and capitalizes on the unseen value of the item, makes things last a lifetime through care and thoughtfulness. My $30 AE Cody loafers from Ebay are maybe my 2nd or 3rd favorite shoes to wear.

    a great "shoe iron" I use for creases is a spoon that has been sitting in boiling water. It will be hot and will produce its own steam. If you are refurbishing old thrift store shoes with heavy creases I will just steam them over boiling water. You won't have to buy a thing. With a shoe tree its fabulous.
