When did you last clean your shoes?

I only ever wear Skechers, and if they get really messy I stick them in the washing machine.

Yes, more or less. And wiping over the sink.

Foxie, I can imagine how difficult it must have been to give up riding. It seems that you were doing serious stuff!
Just to pick up the thread, this morning I treated an old pair of lace-up boots with dubbin. They are a bit Jane Austeny and I love them.
(By the way, I think that zips on lace-up shoes or boots are an abomination.)

Yesterday I cleaned my boots, I clean all my shoes/boots regularly. Try finding navy shoe polish, I've had to use neutral.

Meltonian cream shoe polish is still available in loads of colours, you can order from them direct online - I ordered some to renovate a bag a few months ago.

You can buy navy shoe cream.

Yesterday.

I actually enjoy polishing shoes. I don't have many that need polishing, but when I pull out the shoe polish box, there are 2 brushes each for black, brown, neutral and burgundy. One for polish, one to shine. Also a soft brush for suede.

I have to say my burgundy Blundstones look brand new after about 6 years.

When my son dropped by wearing work boots, I took them off for a clean up while he visited DH. It felt very satisfying! Young people tend not to look after their footwear.

I do too but sadly they do not stay waterproof once washed.

I wash my trainers in the machine and hang on the line when they’re grubby. Then I spray them with Hotter shoe protector. I always live in boots during the winter so I give them all a good clean at the start of autumn, discarding any I’ve not worn the previous year. With shoes, I tend to look at them and if necessary give them a quick wipe over with Pledge and a duster, but not suede of course.

What's in it?

It will be something which evaporates quickly and leaves a residue

I don't...trainers and sandals, my boots are suede so get brusshed

*Brushed even....lol

Some years ago I bought all my AC a very fancy shoe cleaning box with contents from Jones the Bootmaker. It has lovely brushes, cloths and several different polishes, and the box is rather nice too. Not sure any of them have ever used any of the contents!
