I tend to polish me work boots everyday. Don't tend to wear shoes going out on a night. Trainer type shoes or loafers

lol, my shoes are supposed to be dull therfore don't require polishing!

a quick wipe off with a damp cloth sees them looking mint again. i love my shoes aswell tbh! might sound a bit girlie but i wear heavy boots or trainers all week & it's just nice to wear something mega comfortable and smart at weekends, even if i don't venture outside the house!

Only ever spend time polishing parade shoes.

My work shoes and proboots just get a quick weekly polish, literally a few wipes, thats all they need

PS, Rad, when you gunna paint me some anyway?
