Will you please polish your goddamned shoes? I am sick to death of looking at them.
Those devil-may-care scuff marks are like patches of ignorance spreading across the leather.
And don't use that pretend polish liquid shit that comes in a bottle with a sponge on the end. You may as well colour them in with a black pen. Or dip your boots in Vegemite.
It adds colour, but it doesn't nourish the leather like an old fashioned waxy polish does.
Pictured are my 6 year old Blundstone boots, which have mowed lawns, shifted rocks, trekked across the wilderness, hooked flathead, and kept me standing at many a music festival.
They have been used and abused like any outdoor boots. But they are still whole, still supple, still waterproof, and shiny enough to wear to church.
