Waterproofing is ideal - they're going to get dirty and wet, surely?

Black shoe polish is actually very, very dark blue and as such will only reflect blue light. Add some red in there are they will have a deep, wet shine to them that will set your shoes several steps apart from the average chap.
Thought so - I have a pair of Ghillie Brogues that I always struggle to shine - the whole no tongue thing...:huh:Al H said:you can and they will get shiny but there are too many nooks and crannies to get the same effect as plain shoes
