In addition to the quality of the shoes, shoe care and maintenance also play an important role in the longevity of shoes. The most common way to clean a pair of shoes is to polish the shoe. The purpose of polishing is to protect leather shoes you love in the best way and moreover, to create a shiny level that the surface of leather show by itself, not by using shoe polish. Polishing the shoe is a job that requires a lot of effort and time.

It is often said that the personanity of a soldier is shown by the time he used to polish his leather boots.

Polishing is considered to be the most difficult step, but it is the most important step to create the shine for the shoes. Use another piece of cotton cloth, and some water for this process.
