Dont forgot about us bootblacks!! On either side of the kneel for me I love bootblacking. On my bottom side, I can show you over 100 ways to lace a pair of boots, that will correct everything from fallen arches to weak ankles, and can take care of ANY sort of leather boot or shoe you put in front of me. It's a simple pleasure for me, Clean and condition the boot, fix whatever problems it has (scratches, gouges, scuffs, thread ends etc), and then shine or waterproof depending on the leather. I'm pretty damn proud of my spit shine, you can place a quater next to the toe of my jump boots and read the date in the reflection. On the Top side, for me there is nothing better then being throughly pampered by a good bootblack. The vicarious foot massage I get while they clean and condition the leather, the feeling of absolute pride I get from them as they put the finishing touches on a perfect shine, it's all around wonderful. Now add a good pedicure to that and I'm in heaven!! Edit to add this video of an amazing shoe shine team! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdb1x2vQ2Z0&feature=related
