My dad was a marine in WW2 and he would shine his shoes every evening. A man just had to wear pristine shoes. He died nearly 50 years ago but I still have his shoe shine kit and use his brush every time I shine mine. I learned a few extra pointers here. Thanks. It’s really satisfying to make your shoes look good! That shoe shine kit of his is a precious reminder of him for me.

Beautiful work. Your video brought back some fine memories. My dad shined shoes as a boy starting in the early 40’s and passed the knowledge along to me when I was about 7. I shined his and my uncles’ shoes (he had three brothers) and that made me a little money. Shoe shining skills served me well when I went into USCG boot camp in 1976. Well shined shoes were absolutely necessary to pass inspection. We were told “they start at your shoes and work up. SHINE YOUR BOOTS and SHOES!” Over the years I have spent many hours shining my shoes and boots. In the mid 80’s land early 90’s, I worked at One World Trade Center. On the concourse there was a shoe repair shop that had at least 10 shoe shining stands, each with a great shoe shiner. I recall one particularly tough meeting after which my boss said, “Let’s get our shoes shined.” The 10 minutes or so we spent getting our shoes shined was the perfect remedy for post-tough meeting. I didn’t realize I had so many wonderful memories about shining shoes. Thanks for reviving them for me and for reviving your dad’s shoes.

Work is love made visible ... Here's a lovely poem by Kahlil Gibran who was a Poet, painter, writer, philosopher, theologian, visual artist and Maronite with a side order of mysticism of the Sufis who was kinda a big deal back in the day. He lived from 1883 to 1931. "On Work" You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth. For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite. When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison? Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret. But if you in your pain call birth an affliction and the support of the flesh a curse written upon your brow, then I answer that naught but the sweat of your brow shall wash away that which is written. You have been told also that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary. And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, And all work is empty save when there is love; And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God. And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit. It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit, And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching. Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "He who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil. And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet." But I say, not in sleep but in the overwakefulness of noontide, that the wind speaks not more sweetly to the giant oaks than to the least of all the blades of grass; And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving. Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

Thanks for bringing back memories of shining my dad's shoes every Sat. night before we went to church the next morning. He had worked in a shoe shop back in the early 1950's and LOVED the smells and the joy of seeing his work come to life and appreciated by the customers. He was the one who taught us the importance of shoe trees, taking your time and working the oils and polish into the leather. LOL, I just remembered how mom would holler at us when we got polish on our fingers and didn't do a good job of washing it off. Thanks for the great video and all you do.

These are things men did when I was growing up, it's a lost art. I miss my father very much.

I remember my brother's going downtown Boston when they were young and I wasn't allowed to leave the house alone. They went to shine shoes ,they had a shine box and all kinds of shoes polishes and soft cloths and brushes. They would give a spit shine. Not that long ago I dated a pilot who wore the most beautiful shiny shoes. Showed how he shines them from Air Force. He showed me that mirror shine just like you said, and now my cowboy boots are always the prettiest ones
