You're right, not a blucher. An Oxford? In any event, I realize that a mirror shine is not for everyone. Some people think it's too flashy and prefer a more matte look. I'm an outlier in terms of my love for mirror shines, it's true. That said, the Hopkinson is indisputably a very classic dress shoe. It seems like a dress shoe should be able to take a mirror shine. If that isn't possible I get it, but I wish it were possible.
Back in the 2019 thread, I posted about not being able to raise a mirror shine on my Hopkinsons, and at least a couple of people responded that it was doable, but that it would take persistence. Someone even posted a pair of theirs with a mirror shine, but I don't remember who it was.

Important update:

In efforts to avoid having the show on Valentine's Day, wave two stores will be hosting their event on that Thursday. Wave one and three will remain Friday. I will be updating my original post accordingly.
I thought the perfect Valentines date would be a suede mixer.
