YOUR type of shoe polish...?

Post by Elheru Aran »

Okay, i'm bored... and i just polished my boots... (old Army boots, don't ask where my dad found 'em... it's kind of an interesting story though!)... and i was wondering--

What type of shoe polish do you use? I'm not talking about your brand (although I do consider Kiwi the best)... I'm talking type. Type as in...

1: Paste (usually comes in a small metal tin)

2: Liquid (often applied with a bottle)

3: Spray-on

4: Spit-shine

Me, I reckon paste gives the best and longest-lasting shine; after that, spit-shine, then liquid (which's good for a quick touch-up when necessary), and then sprays.

Your opinion, hmm....?
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

I wear black leather dress shoes five days out of the week, but I never use polish. I like the scuffed-up look.

I'm pretty old fashioned, so paste it is.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I use Kiwi in the can for both boots and shoes. I generally apply it via cotton balls, and I use neutral in addition to black for my shoes.

Ah yes, neutral...

Parade gloss black, then some neutral, then more parade gloss black, whenever I get around to my major "fix the damn shoes" project.

Until then, I'll just use these. :D
