This last school season, I wore a pair of patent leather shoes. In the 1st game, having administered a throw-in on the sideline, in frontcourt, when the ball was intercepted, the thrower decided to go the other way and stepped right on my foot!

He'll never know haw close he came to getting a flagrant T for scratching my new shoe!;)

Now I'm confused . . . if it's not real leather, which Armor-all wipes should I use?

Sorry, I missed the "patent leather" part of the discussion.
One slight error isn't a real big deal. I still say that we always listen to bob.

Well his advice was correct, but for the wrong subject. Does that count?

I really do not understand why people look for recommendations and do not realize there have been several topics on this subject just recently.

Shoes choice are so personal anyway and you have to be comfortable, not what people tell you they are comfortable with.

Peace

I didn't know shoe polish affected how comfortable the shoe would be? ;)

It is still personal. Some people know how to put on a military shine with old school polish. ;)

Peace

Perhaps try a little warm water and a soft cloth. Maybe some windex? Maybe even some nail polish remover? I've actually used the nail polish remover on some patent leather shoes many years ago to remove scuff marks...and it worked great. They were not referee shoes, however, and they may have been a different material.....so try it in a non-visible spot first (or on an older pair).
^^^^^Windex. I wore them for 20 years while in the military and all you need is windex. Once you scuff them though, they are done as you can't fix the scuffs.

Oh, you use Pledge on the inside of your shoes, BMac.
Here I had it wrong all these years.
Bet you haven't had a case of toenail fungus in a while, though.
:D

I used to do that for years. Attended a Military school at one time and had to shine shoes every day.

Peace

I will do a qualitative analysis on the different faux patent leather cleaning techniques and get back to y'all!

AremRed Sat Jun 07, 2014 04:18pm
I used the Windex Method to clean and polish my faux patent leather Zigs last night. They look absolutely beautiful, almost like new.

I have yet to use the Pledge Method or Armor All wipes but I will do those next.

Please move this over the Good Housekeeping Forum, where it belongs. I'm surprised that the moderators let you get away with stuff like this.
