Do you like constantly shining your shoes or do you like to have a ready made shine. It really is just that simple.

I have had the patent leather shoes for about 4 years now. I was one of the first people in my area to have them. People said they did not like them and that they did not look professional. Now it is hard to find many officials that do not have them now. I quickly everyone turns. Most of the time no one even realizes that the shoes are patent leather to begin with. I get asked by the fans, “how did you get those shoes so shinny?"
