I've about a dozen pairs of shoes that are in need of some time at the shoe spa. They're dress shoes of varying flavors... cole haans, maglis, ferragamos, a couple of pairs of tramezzas. Not the thousand dollar shoes some people here have but not terribly cheap either. Most are in ok condition, just dried out and dusty a bit. No torn leather or terrible wrinkles. Most have had cedar shoe trees in them during their months of disuse.
I've recently started my own business and am trying to save pennies, so I'd prefer not to take them to the local shoe shine places, knowing what they tend to charge around here per pair. I also would like to do this over the weekend so ordering boutique shoe care products online isn't an ideal option. What I'm looking for is advice on shoe creams, leather treatment, brush, etc., for clean/shine/buff that I could pick up at a local store on a weekend so that I could burn a chunk of tomorrow giving some TLC to these shoes.
I don't know much about shoe care but I do know a fair deal about car detailing and know that there are off-the-shelf products that work wonders and other ones (armor all!!!) that can be terrible. So I'm hoping for some similar advice for my shoes
