When you watch the video from JM Weston' website about a gentleman's demonstrating shoe polishing, you can see he was also using that cream to clean/condition the shoes.


I went to the JM Weston web site and watched the video. A little more than half way through it says "Shoes should be polished at least once-a-week". I was surprised by this. Is this common practice for most people? Have I been abusing my shoes?

Thanks...the boots are extremely comfortable. I rethinking the Southwold but I know I would like to buy a spring/summer shoe in whiskey. I like to wear linen, seersucker and white and light blue jeans in the summer so I would like something I can dress up or down. Everyone...what's your thoughts on navy suede for summer?

Ha! They look great! I just wish mine fit me the slightest bit better.
