Worked for my combat boots, works for my umpire shoes. No complaints.

During four years at Annapolis, I hated spit-shining my shoes. I wore the uncomfortable Corfams just to keep from having to do it. 35 years later, retired from the Navy, I'm anal about spit-shining my plate shoes. I even do it during my off game during a tournament. I admit that I'm weird -- but the spit-shined size 14s draw compliments from coaches, players, and even fans.

(I guess if I ever get a chance to work a tournament for Mike, I'll have to dull the finish to make sure I don't draw any attention to myself. )
