I've been looking for an easier way to polish my shoes. Currently I wear my shoe and polish while it's on, this however becomes difficult as my foot can't stay in place.

I was looking at a shoe box with a step and thought it may be useful, but I also heard of a shoe butler which won't even require me wearing the shoe. I can imagine though that the butler will swing back and forth. I'm not sure which is easier to care for shoes?

I once tried polishing my shoes while wearing them. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Of course I was 8 years old then.

Obviously you dont NEED to wear your shoes. But after actually watching the pros shine shoes, I think it's better to have both hands FREE to do the job. It's quicker, but the shoe can't stay in place unless you have something to help with that.
