How many here still use shoe polish?
I do....my uniform boots are "Spit polished", my civy shoes (because I VERY seldom wear my uniforms anymore) I polish.

I use a "clear buffer" type dean from Aerosoles. It shines up all my shoes!

You guys are gonna howl, but in a pinch I've used good ole vaseline. Don't laugh!
We do have a shoe shine kit and I have used it. I'm just not picky about my shoes though. I wear them out!

Not laughing, Mary! Do you know what is good for getting rid of scratches on your shoes and boots? Kitchen Jubilee

On my black shoes, it's good ol' Lincoln Stain Wax, ice water and an old buffing cloth, followed by cotton balls.
My other shoes (brown, suede or "rough-side out") get either mink oil or spray silicone waterproofing.

Got a shoeshine kit and Kiwi and polish the fancy work shoes for those meetings that you can catch up on your z's otherwise I don't bother. Oh, almost forgot, on clinic days, best thing for the white nurses shoes in a pinch is correction fluid, works like a charm

Yes, we still polish shoes... depends on the shoes what we use to polish with...
My daughter was a skater, so we spent a lot of time polishing skates as well.
Her kids polish shoes... They are musicians and need to look nice on stage, etc.

I still use white shoe polish on my sneakers when they start
looking ratty...used it on my nursing shoes for too many
years - I gotta use that stuff up!
