Mo   10 #1 Posted March 24, 2004 I have to admit that dirty shoes are one of my pet hates. I think that mucky shoes says 'slack person'.  I think that it stems back to my childhood when we used to have 'shoe shine' inpections in assembly.  We all had to line up while the headteacher walked down the line inspecting to see if we hadpolished our shoes. God help anybody who hadn't!  I used to be the one who ended up with filthy marks at the back of my long white socks where I had stood rubbing the front of each shoe on the back of the opposite leg.  I know that loads of people now wear trainers but if you wear leather shoes do you ever clean them with polish or is it an outdated activity. I still polish mine rigorously on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

max   13 #4 Posted March 25, 2004 You mean you can actually clean shoes? Wow, I just thought that was a sign they needed replacing. What a fool I've been all these years, just think of the money I could have saved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hardly ever did it before.  You wear white trainers? *snigger* You're not from Essex are you?!  I clean my work shoes about once a week, and smart shoes for going out in about once a month... don't clean trainers but do put them through the washing machine once in a while.  before anyone takes offence, I'm from Essex and am therefore allowed to comment - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
