Shoe Polish

ThickSkin · #1 (**permalink**) Tue Nov 15, 2005, 12:30pm

I am looking for some shoe polish that gives a good shine. I have heard of people using Armour all wipes, the black polish by Kiwi that you can purcahse at wal-mart, and I have used some other stuff that works but doesn't provide an even cover. Is there anything out there that you would recommend?

I like the Kiwi shoe "paste". It's not a liquid and doesn't leave bubbles. I think it looks pretty good. JMO

Just the thought of stepping foot inside of a Walmart store makes my skin crawl. Chalk up one more reason for patent leather officiating shoes.

Go to patent leather and all you need is a little furniture polish!!!

I don't really care for any of the patent leather shoes out there. I currently have the Nike Air Max '95 as well as a pair of Nike LTD shoes that I wear.

Honigs sells a shoe cream called Tarraga. Good stuff!

i went to patent last year and loved them (ref by reebok), i did pick up a pair of the new black nike shox's this weekend to try out, they did have a little grey on them but took care of that with a black permanent marker, they feel great and i've heard are really comfortable in games...can't wait to find out... i have already shined them up with ARMOR ALL WIPES, i used them before i went to patents and they work great....

I had the Nike SHOX NZ two years ago and I absolutely loved them. The thing I didn't really care for was the grey on them. It didn't look as sharp with the permanent marker I used on mine. I have also worn the Ken Griffey cross trainers. They were very comfortable.

Kiwi makes a liquid high gloss that works great. Apply it before each game & your shoes will shine all the way through introductions, national anthem and jump ball.

After that no one cares because they're not looking at your shoes, they're focussing on the fishnets.
