I give my croccs the odd wipe if that counts?

I did it for a year at military academy, hours everyday. When I was working I would polish once or twice a year. Now I basically wear sneakers all the time, so no need! ?

I have a couple pairs of dress shoes that are almost thirty years old, and the leather is as supple and good looking as new because they're kept polished and on shoe trees.

I don't but I still have my late Dad's shoebox. Shining his shoes for the week was a ritual he followed every Sunday night when he taught school.

I might use a leather conditioner on my work boots but I don't polish anything nor do I iron clothes or sort laundry. Life's too short to waste on fashion. But I will take care of work boots!

Yes I do. It brightens them up and helps to extend the life of a good leather shoe.

I've no adult footgear. Sent it all to Goodwill upon retirement.

Never

I don't think I have shoes that need polish. I have a full length hooded leather coat that gets cleaned and oiled at the end of every winter.

Yes I do on a daily basis

I conditioned and shined this pair of boots I got in January, as with all leather boots. They are absolutely tattered I don't even know wher e to begin it's never happened before they should have lasted for years

Yes...I take care very good care of my shoes...I have boots that have lasted for years...I also polish and take care of my leather bags...it makes sense that if you spend money on stuff that you care for it...I especially do this when I am storing my shoes or if I wear them often....I have a few pairs, so sometimes this can take a while.

Yes I do, but not as often as I should! I have the shoe shine kit from basic training that I acquired in 1986! It is still in perfectly serviceable condition!

The leather ones and my boots, yes. It protects and waterproofs the leather.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. My dad, and many other older generation males whom I respect, was known for this trait, along with respectful memories he exhibited. I, proudly, continue this tradition.

All aboard will know it is mandatory for uniformed people, army, navy, airforce, police etc. I believe there is a very good reason to follow trend.

I polished my black boots last week and I should probably put some mink oil on my Blundstone work boots before the salt gets to them now that winter is here and they will be spreading road salt.

I will mink oil most of my leather once a year to include my shoes which I will later polish.

Boots … even ‘baked in’ the wax using my oven on very low heat last season (no one around to scold me)! Heating them seems to open the pores, as I give them two coats..

After learning to tie them, I think polishing was the second thing dad taught us ..assuming we’d be headed to the military I suspect. Still love the smell of polish

I bought my son an electric buffer that sits on the floor at an estate sale. It definitely takes the work out of buffing.

Oh yeah, I'm an old man LOL

I pretty much live in tennis shoes. I only wear other shoes to actual events, and that doesn't happen enough to constitute polishing.

I scarcely wear the kind of shoes that need polished any more.
