Beau Brummell was known to use champagne to polish his boots so that they resembled lacquer. Olga Berluti pays homage to this with vintage Dom Perignon.
I ask, how shiny do you like your shoes?
Personally, I prefer a lacquered shine. I really can't stand some of those distressed shoes that are popular now, or those who thinks unpolished shoes are acceptable. I'm also not particularly keen on a soft shine.
I like to think of a well-shined shoe as a bit of a middle-finger to slob convention.
