Step 2: Fill Your Shoe Insert a shoe tree or stuff the toe of your shoe with paper. This will give you a firm surface to work on.

Step 3: Clean Off Dust & Dirt Use a dry brush to remove any dust and dirt from your shoes. You can use the welt brush and water to get into small spaces, but make sure to let the leather dry completely before moving on to the next step. Scrub the welt of any dirt or grime with your small brush. 1 Share

Step 4: Apply Polish Add a dab of polish onto your polishing cloth. Apply your wax polish to the shoe surface with circular motions. This causes friction that slightly melts the wax and allows it to spread more evenly.

Step 5: Don’t Forget the Welt Use the welt brush or a toothbrush to apply polish to the welt, heel and any other neglected areas. Allow the polish to dry for about 10 minutes.

Step 8: Spit Shine Finish off your shoes with a signature “spit-shine” finish. To start, use your finger to place a droplet of water on the shoe.
|
Re: How To Shine Your Shoes by Krafty006: 9:55pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
With the polishing cloth, rub a small amount of polish into the water droplet in fast, small circles. Repeat this process around the whole shoe.

With similar fast movements, wipe down your shoe with a dry section of the polishing cloth. Repeat the “spit shine” stage once or twice to your liking.

Step 9: Dry and Re-lace Allow your shoes to dry for 10 to 20 minutes. Once they’re completely dry, re-lace your shoes. If you’d like to liven up your favorite shoes, try adding some colorful shoelaces or a new lacing style. https://www.ties.com/blog/how-to-shine-shoes
