Sorry, I missed the "patent leather" part of the discussion.

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!

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
