00:00 Mirror Shine Your Shoe Introduction
Within the realm of classic menswear, there’s no question that a mirror shine on a pair of dress shoes is regarded as the ultimate shoe treatment. There’s so much information available in articles, videos, tips, tricks, and hacks about mirror shining your shoes, but the rarely asked question is: should you mirror shine your shoes?
01:17 What Is A Mirror Shine?
In simple terms, a mirror shine is the result of extensive polishing of a shoe, in which the surface is rendered to a smooth, flat, and reflective shine. The shine itself comes from the application of multiple layers of wax polishes that fill in the pore structure of the leather, thus, creating a sleek and glossy surface that reflects a high quantity of light, giving the shoe a glass-like appearance.
03:39 How To Achieve A Mirror Shine
There are many specialist tools and gadgets on the market that are designed for the shoe polishing enthusiast, but the reality is the majority of them are expensive or just unnecessary, as you only need to consider a few inexpensive items when performing a mirror shine.
08:08 Why Should You Mirror Shine Your Shoes?
We put our heads (and toes!) together and came up with four reasons for polishing your shoes to a mirror shine: 1. It looks Fantastic!
2. It Shows That you Care!
3. It Elevates Formality
4. It Offers Some Weather Protection
11:05 Why Shouldn’t You Mirror Shine Your Shoes?
In direct contrast to our first point about a mirror shine looking good, it also has the potential of the following: 1. It Can Look Fussy!
2. It can Off The Balance Of Your Outfit
3. It Takes A Ton Of Time
4. It Won't Last Long!
14:29 So, Should You Do a Mirror Shine?
It’s safe to say that there are many considerations that go into whether you should or shouldn’t mirror shine your shoes. The finished results often make a pair of dress shoes look exquisite, but it’s also worth noting that for all the hours and effort required to achieve the desired finish, it’s only a matter of time before your shoes pick up a scuff that shatters the mirror shine.
Of course, it all depends on your personal tastes, but here are two answers to the question we think will help you out: 1. If you have the time to spend, enjoy the look, and feel it compliments your wardrobe choices, then a mirror shine should look great on your shoes
2. But if you feel it’s too much hassle, or usually wear less formal combinations, then simply buffing your shoes to a gentle shine will be best for you
