Does anyone else like polishing shoes?..... [View all]

Just polished a pair of my 86 year old mom's shoes. I used Kiwi polish from a can (parade black), used two coats and then shined them to a high gloss.

I love smelling the polish as it's used, covering the nicks and scratches. I think it reminds me of when I was young and Dad would polish our shoes once a week, usually on Sunday, before we went back to school.

I remember just watching him and how he could do 4 pair, lickety split. I just find it relaxing. I currently don't have any leather shoes, otherwise I'd be doing mine too.
