I hope you get a lot of wears and use out of your newly polished items. Your post is a great reminder to polish and waterproof my boots before I actually need to wear them. I always seem to think about it after going through puddles or wet snow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, I would love to see a post about your sneaker cleaner. I recently mowed my lawn and got grass stains all over my sneakers because I forgot to change my shoes beforehand. I would love to get my sneakers looking clean again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-polish#post-2370592 Sun, 22 Sep 2024 01:01:07 +0000 Lisa 2370592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Great job with your polish choices, everything looks great. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm a big sneaker person and we have very red clay instead of dirt in my area, which means my sneakers get dirty fast.

I polish leather shoes and boots at the end of the season before putting them away. I used to do it more often when I walked through New England slush and salt, now I do it only as necessary during the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-polish#post-2370577 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 21:46:50 +0000 Angie 2370577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*applause*</p> <p>An effective visual difference, and satisfying feeling!

I didn't think they would be able to be resoled so I didn't even investigate it. I'm glad you were able to get yours resoled but bummed I didn't try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-polish#post-2370563 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 17:45:56 +0000 Roberta 2370563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! I bought red polish to revive a well-loved pair of combat boots, and bronze polish to touch up my favorite bronze booties. Both of these pairs are over ten years old and still going strong. I resoled the red ones a couple of years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-polish#post-2370560 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 16:58:59 +0000 Ket 2370560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful items! Great job tracking down the polish and really caring for them. I love seeing this &lt;3&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I really don't have any items to maintain at this time. I've been rebuilding my wardrobe after losing nearly all possessions, furniture, and clothing to a house disaster. But your post is a good reminder for the future!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-good-polish#post-2370557 Sat, 21 Sep 2024 16:46:44 +0000 Jenny H 2370557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a strong draw lately to shoes/accessories in non-standard colors and they were starting to look terrible. So much so that I recently found myself considering the purchase of an identical pair of one of these shoes from Poshmark because my existing pair was looking so bad (even though there is plenty of life left in the shoes). Fortunately, I realized I was being ridiculous. I put in the effort to search out the shoe polish colors I needed: <ul> <li>Burgundy polish for my Ecco Soft high top sneakers</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Antique silver polish for my Ecco Soft 7 sneakers</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Navy polish for my Miz Mooz Lewis boots in Ocean</li> </ul> <ul> <li>And finally, I bought a teal Coach purse at a yard sale in August but it was badly in need of a good polish and I couldn't find any teal polish. But I bought some turquoise polish and then mixed that together with the navy and was fortunate to get a good result.</li> </ul> I'm so glad I did this! Not everything looks perfect, but it is all much improved.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you put in any special effort lately to maintain the wardrobe items you already own? </p>
