The first step is to take the dirt out of your shoes by using soap then water, although you can use newspaper or old towels in place of soap.

After that, you get the shine out following these steps: rub your shoe with a dry towel (to get rid of excess moisture), making sure not to put too much pressure on the toe area; apply some shoe polish; finish by rubbing with another dry towel. After that, seal it off with a coat of wax or polyurethane spray around the edges.

My favorite brands of shoe polish include Kiwi and Allen Edmonds, while I would recommend Saphir and Mink Oil if you have a more than average amount of shoes.

You can also buy the wax and polyurethane spray in complementary colors or those that match your shoes. Whatever your choice, make sure it's a reputable brand.

Yes, if you want to. You could use polish instead of wax, or vice versa. You can also change the steps and make your own method. The important thing is that your shoes are clean and shiny!

To keep your shoes from losing their shine quickly, store them in an area with low humidity or better yet try using a shoe tree or two for each pair of shoes (to avoid creases). You can also use neutral shoe polish to prevent acid from damaging the leather.
