That is actually what happens though del, except that she probably knows what to do by now so Homer probably doesn't need to give directions anymore

Now this is someone that understands shoe polish. HID gets a represent if anything else appears in the house.

The Dubbin actually soaks into the leather, maintains its suppleness, prevents it from drying out or cracking. Parade gloss is terrible stuff to use, a lot of turps contained in it that drys leather out. The gore-tex membrane only lasts so long and its always better to look after the leather that protects the gore-tex.
If you look after any shoes that are real leather with Dubbin from the off, the only time you should need to use a polish is if there is any loss of pigment. And never dry them on a radiator or heat always naturally to prevent shrinkage or cracking. Looked after shoes should outlast the soles by many years. I have walking boots that I had re-soled 3 times and they are still comfortable, not waterproof because the liner is punctured but okay on damp days and still as soft as the day they were bought.

Adizeros are synthetic though - the dubbin should make zero difference ?

Nickwax is a fantastic product for protecting the leather and keeping them waterproof. It's designed for walking boots and most good outdoor shops sell it.

I can assure you the toes of the shoes glisten far more than the rest of the shoe :smirk:

I think the stuff I use is nixwax.
I'm afraid that when it comes to shoe cleaning, I'm a bit of a slut.

The only problem with just using shoe polish is that it can eventually lead to the leather drying out and cracking. You also need to use a leather conditioner to nourish the leather
