My girlfriends think I am way too picky when it comes to men. I would not disagree with that statement, however I just know what I want and certainly what I do not want. My girlfriends also give me shit because they think my LIST of requirements in a partner are absurd and are sometimes a tad impractical. Again, I wouldn’t disagree. For example, one of my requirements is that men I date shine their shoes. Crazy? I don’t know. Practical and mature, yes! Even the wonderful Johnny Cash knew what’s up, “It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe, does a million dollars worth of good for you” Get rhythm? Get your shoes shined.
Shining your shoes might be a ridiculous prerequisite for dating me but someone needs to bring this back so I am doing my part, when I finish this attempt I will move on to shoehorns. Until then, lets talk polish. For about 5 dollars you can buy shoe polish that transforms your over-worn, scuffed leather shoes into shinny, brand new looking kicks that could possibly get you a date.
Product of the Week: Kiwi Shoe Polish, can form and sponge form.
I have a lot of cordovan colored shoes (sort of a maroon color) and found Kiwi’s can of polish in cordovan at Walgreens along with the Express Shine Sponge for black shoes. The sponge is a quick and easy way to shine your shoes on the run, you can do it in under 30 seconds. The can of polish requires more time but with a better outcome, just dab a small amount onto a cloth and shine away those very unattractive scuff marks.
Whether you have black, brown or cordovan leather shoes there is a shoe polish for you. Shoe cream is also a wonderful product to withstand the lifespan of your shoes, it keeps the leather moist and the original color last longer.
Cash originally penned that tune for Elvis, but decided to keep it for himself:) have covered it many times while performing my Cash homage
