Everything about this is so endearing. His janked setup. His clear love for the craft. The fact that he is willing to have banter, this is all so sincere
@Don Forum If you make a youtube channel and make it entertaining and half as impressive as the effort is that this guy goes to to shine shoes...sure I'd probably send you some cash.
The thing that makes me happy and that stands out in this video is how he is happy doing something he fucking loves, that's a noble person who takes pride in their art. Respec
Good point. Keeping shoes clean makes them last longer. The condition of your shoes also speaks to your image and attitude about how you take care of things. He also said he doesn't have to deal with any incompetent or perverted bosses or backstabbing co- workers. Interesting. At $900 a day x 20 days (no weekeends) he's making 18k a month. Whew. An entrepreneur could franchise shoe shine stations, hire a shoe shiner and collect half the profits.
Don Ward! All the way out here in Arizona, we know this good work, this good man and the next time I am in the big city, I will get the boots shined at Don's.
Its an art doing what he does and im sure he makes good money and the odd top dolla tip here and there his personality is great keep getting it brother
There was a story about him from the New York Post. Don was working for a print or photo company. A coworker was fired and a few days later, he set up a shoe shine station near the job. Don and some coworkers went to rag on him, then they saw how much he made. Don quit his job immediately and has been shinning shoes ever since.
Beautiful job in the end. Yes, a man's shoes are the 2nd thing I look at and they had better be clean and shiny.😎 FYI, getting a shoe shine is so relaxing.😗
The Last Guy : when you're done with these shoes I better see my face in them. Don: Sir, I've seen your face, are you sure you wanna do that ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Roasted his ass!!
His a dam funny person ..... full of life and love his job The person who are coming to clean there shoes ...they must open there shoes ....and give for cleaning ..work
does the chair and equipment belong to him? does he pack it up and take it home at night? if so how does he insure nobody else takes his spot on that corner?

That's why I like it a lot and I made a video about him.

"best street shoe shine" No. Best entertainment shoe shine, yes, easily.
Honest days pay.love your hustle
Don Ward you are a total legend. Would love to come hang out there not just for the shine but also for the JIVE. Gotta visit sometime (from England)
So you visited?
There is nothing wrong with shining shoes- you should never be ashamed of your job to provide for your family.
I always say that too. Thanks for your comment.
I love this guy! Looks like and is as funny as Dave Chappell.
I legit laughed at the elbow freeze joke 🤣🤣
GREAT WORK!
Love u don ward
2014 damn hopefully you still comment how it been anything good happened since then ? And he still doing shoes?
Calamitous shoe shine. But with very nice seats.
Dude was like final touch “he’s already done “ 👀
Does anyone know if this guy is still working there? I'm going to visit in August and want this guy to shine my shoes.
it's always there, same address.
See those steel plates in the streets? Those plates have been there since Don has been on that corner. NYC moves at the speed of the unions.
GOOD POINT
This is a honorable profession
Great job of shoeshine. Valerio is real cute.
Grazie !!!
Hard work always pays off
It's really not an easy thing at all being this smooth and calculated
You have to be brave and super public and friendly person, that what he get $900 a day for, not for shoes shine skills!
sirens, horns, idling cars, yeah that's nyc all right
i miss it
U have a gift brother.
At the end of video he's like, ok pay me!!hahaha
Not enough people like you in the world!!!!!
His attitude is amazing
and is also really funny person
God bless him
Spit shine Donny they used to call him, he’d make your shoes look like mirrors

Hey cameraman, some advice for future shoots: get closer so we can actually here what is being said.
*hear
I could HEAR it perfectly fine, maybe you should just turn your volume up?

I want to meet this Gentleman. He is so cool..
does the chair and equipment belong to him? does he pack it up and take it home at night? if so how does he insure nobody else takes his spot on that corner?

Badass quote
You think that's funny? Funny how? Like a clown?
+Jim Shorts you obviously don't get the quote. It's from a film.
Andrew Preston Jim Shorts is also quoting Joe Pesci's character in goodfellas,...its an alternative scene...
Does this guy still work there?
i don't know, i think yes but i was there 4 years ago
he put instant shoe shine...lol wow
