Super Easy 5 MINUTE Shoe Shine

We all have busy lives. Between school, work and our personal lives, we have A LOT going on each day. I can't tell you just how many people have come into our shop to drop off shoes for a shoe shine and told us that they either don't have the time or don't know how to shine their shoes.

Today, we're showing you how ANYONE can shine their own shoes in 5 minutes or less. Using high quality products also plays a part. With just a few simple products, you too can have your shoes looking great each and every day!

Your shoe shine video took me down memory lane. My dad worked six days a week but on Saturday his only day off, his gift to my mom, brother and I was to clean our shoes. When I heard he had passed away my first thought was, who is going to clean mom's shoes? Thank you for the reminder of a wonderful man.

My father (late) was a Police Inspector, in Maharashtra Police, India. 45 years before, I used to shoe shine his Shoulder cross belt, waist belt, his revolver cover & his shoes. Almost every alternate day, as his duty hours used to be irratic & long. I was 11 years old, It used to take 1 hour for completing polishing job. It was boring, but he used to encourage me for best shine. Due to all those old memories, I even today wear only black, pure leather shoes, with lace, No push in shoes, Which usually no one wears, & also my shoes are mostly shining, & my son daughter & wife critisises me for not using colourful ones, I hate those sports shoes & I am always proud of Black shining shoes + a neat clean old executive type dress. I know the power of impression, I get things done fast, people confide/trust me. I am likeable & a well dressed personality speaks volumes. & So on & on & on

Thanks to my father Late Madanlal Surajmal Tasgaonkar, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Maharashtra, India.
Thanks for reading my emotional post.

My dad was in the Navy and he taught us very early how to shine our shoes. I agree it is therapeutic.

I just learned probably a year ago how to dress properly for a business setting, and last week was the first time I bought a pair of real leather shoes instead of the cheap ones you can get at Walmart. I went in looking for just the shoes but the cashier lady threw in a bottle of leather lotion and a bottle of waterproofing solution and told me that real leather needs to be cared for regularly and it kinda put me off for a bit but I thought "eh why not I'll probably get good at it" well after about a week or so I sat down with the shoes in front of me and had no idea what the first step was, after seeing this video you helped me realize that cleaning and shining my shoes is kinda fun thank you for showing me what I'm looking for whenever Im cleaning my new shoes. They look really great with my work clothes.

Just what I learned to do while I was.in the Navy. I found too that after using a horse hair brush after applying polish a few times, polish builds up in the brush and all you have to do is hit your shoes with the brush every few days and they come out looking great.

When I was very young many years my Mum and Dad were very very poor my clothes were sometimes second hand and were full of holes but my Dad showed me how to polish shoes, whether it was because he was in the British military during the war I will never know but I always had polished shoes, I have always polished my shoes to the this day, many thanks for the video.

I just learned of your Channel after watching your Q & A Session with the Kavalier. I have watched a couple of your videos on your Channel and find them informative and interesting. Very well done videos! Good job and keep up the great work!

5 minute shoe shine in 11 minutes and 48 seconds. Ha ha.

But, seriously, very good video. I sure remember doing a lot of shining on my black dress oxfords. I still have them from bootcamp in 1986.

I have had more fun shining my shoes today! Thank you for your expertise.

Excellent video. I have always been a little apprehensive about my shoe shining technique, but perhaps a good cream is all that was missing.

I use an (unused) soft bristle toothbrush as a dobber. Works well getting in between the crack/area where the upper meets the sole.

[richiet]

This is phenomenal gorgeous job. I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much, sir!

Considering most of us basically live our lives in front of a screen, it's hard to imagine not having time to shine a pair of shoes while watching Netflix.

[gretchenlp]

Whether a man or woman is wearing a thousand dollar suit or is dressed in business casual, if his or her shoes are poorly maintained or improperly cleaned and shined, his or her entire look is marred. Your primer on shoe shining should be a requirement for all who take the maxim “dress for success” to heart.

Great video, Looking at your video makes me realize that I forgot to do the heel block lol. Im such a noob at polishing shoes thanks again Trenton and Heath.

[granjmy]

Very enjoyable video, guys. I would love to have the video end with before and after shots of the shoes.

[kbrett]

Just watched this again and went to your website to pick up some cream polish. Thanks for the discount guys, glad to give you my business instead of Amazon. Keep up the great vids and I'll be waiting for the next one

[stevecarroll]

I've always just used the shoe polish in paste. I believe now I'll go with the creme polish. Great job.

Love this channel and everything the brothers are teaching us. They need to get some wireless microphones though to help with the sound quality. Inexpensive and very effective. You can use lapel clipons too.

[ammadriaz]

Great video on shoe shine! Thank you. I would've loved to see a before and after photos comparison of the shoe.
