Today's Tip: Steppin' Out, Get Your SHINE On

Gents and ladies, your shoes are an investment, and a reflection of you and should be treated as such. The days of the shoe shine guy on the corner are few and far between, some still exist in shoe repair shops. You can leave it to a professional or simply do it yourself. All you need is some shoe polish, the basics: Black, brown and neutral. For other shoes, use the correct color of shoe polish. Another must is a high quality horse hair shoe brush, and some rags - like an old cotton t-shirt or flannel shirt, which makes for good cleaning and buffing. Unsightly scuffs and worn heel back are a no-no. SHINE!!! Also while on the subject go a step further: If your heels, and soles are worn down, get them resoled. Ladies that tapping noise from worn down heels, when you strut is a no-no. If your shoes are tore up from the floor up, meaning nicks/splits, discoloration for weather/age, and badly scuffed, out with the old in with the new. Take care of your shoes and they will take care of you!
