Ever walk by those shoe shine guys at the airport or on the street and say to yourself “who shines their shoes anymore”? If you were smart, it’d be you!

I’ve never had my shoes shined by one of these guys before, but on a recent trip from New York, I stopped by the stand in Concourse A at DIA (Denver International Airport) and gave it a try. I just had a jam-packed weekend at home with Kim and my shoes were terribly scuffed from being in a packed bar. As I hopped up in the chair, the guy said, “Size 13, right”?

“That’s right”. I was impressed already.

About 5 minutes of chit chat and polishing, my Bostonians looked better than new. The charge was $5 (and I gave him $5 tip on top). After returning to the office, a coworker said they had a military shine to them.

Don’t be shy the next time you walk by a stand with a pair of leather shoes on. Take 5 minutes to take care of your shoes. Heck, I’ve even seen women in the big chair getting their heels shined! Your shoes will thank you with a longer life!

As a 9 to 5 a day guy in Corporate America, business casual is the dress code of most Fortune 500 companies. Trying to coordinate clothes for a 5-day week can be tough, but getting a good, comfortable pair of shoes can be toughest of all.  Style counts, but shouldn’t substitute for comfort. For style and comfort, check out these Bostonian Akron Shoes.

Slick black design with a glossy look shouts professionalism. Most important, this design is quite comfortable. An added bonus is how quiet these shoes are on hardwood or tile floors. You won’t get the ‘click click’ noise like a woman’s heel.

Expect to pay $90 to $115 for a pair like this, but with regular maintenance, these will last you for several years.  I bought my Bostonian Akron shoes from Shoebuy.com for $109.95 with Free Shipping.
