I just purchase some new converse all-star whistle shoes. Does anyone have any secrets to get a shine on this guys. I am having no luck

Go to a Military exchange or shoe repair shop and ask for "Shape-Up." You may be able to get this polish from Purchase Official Supplies or Honig.

Have a friend who uses Griffins on his and they look pretty good. I have tried to get mine glossy with Master spray, and buffing--no luck here either. I just tell myself that I don't need to see myself in them anyway! They are clean and shiny--just not glossy.

I use a product called Leather Luster. It can be found at most shoe shops. It is made for gunbelts, boots, etc.

It is actually a paint that you apply with a small brush. Simply read the instructions and follow them. I always get compliments on my shoes with this product.

The biggest advantage is that once you apply it, all you have to do is dust the shoes off before game time and you are ready to roll.

I have the All Star Whistle as well. I use Shape-Up and it works really well. A tip, however, take a cotton ball and dip it in some rubbing alcohol and clean the shoes with it first. Once it is dry, apply Shape-up as directed. I purchase Shape-Up from The Official's Choice, at 1-800-480-4477. It is kind of expensive (2 for $11.95 or 1 for $6.50 plus s/h).
