A lot of people are attracted to nice shiny shoes. It appeases the eye no doubt, but the hidden agenda is that not many know 'how to do it yourself'. There are tools needed for that bright shiny shoe viz:
1} Soft brush of any size but preferably flat
2) Foam that is a lil thick
3} Any brand of high quality polish
4} Clean rag

Start by cleaning off the dust if any then apply polish to the shoe, boot, sandals e.t.c. The next step is to actually spread the polish to the entire leather  footwear using the flat soft brush and finally, the foam will be used to briskly shine the shoe. Have a look at the shoe, is it not better than the road side shoe polishing mallam?
