Wow Jazzy were you awake all night thinking up these things?

I used it on those black and white shoes that got so popular, which I
hated and no idea why I wore them. Well actually at the park I took
them off and ran barefoot as much as possible.

There were a couple different styles of Saddle shoes. I did not Like the more boxy style.

My cousins wore what they called Gumdrop Saddle Shoes, similar to these, but in black & white. Mom couldnā€™t afford them for me, so I admired them from afar on my cousinā€™s feet

Nice shoes!

I remember the tongue part of my sneaker/trainer was a pain to polish. Also if I pressed too hard on the sponge applicator, a whole lot of polish would come out. What a mess.
 
No, I've never had white shoes. But all my adult life, I've used liquid black and liquid brown made by Kiwi. I haven't been able to find it, and the paste kind never works well. A few weeks ago, I found a good black liquid at Dollar General called "Step Ahead." - They also have it in brown.

I use exactly the same. In fact just yesterday I was out in the cold garden polishing 2 pairs of walking boots on the table using the Black Kiwi polish...

I also love the scuff cover polish as well... I've used that since Dd was tiny... I used to be able to get it in every colour but now it's only available in Black & brown

Thanks for the tip about where to find the liquid polish. A while back I searched high and low and finally found black paste at a shoe repair shop in Wichita. Pricey!

Back when babies wore those high top white baby shoes (I still have my first pair that my parents had "bronzed" and mounted on a plaque), we freshened them up with that polish.

Heaven forbid your darling didn't have the most sparkling white shoes on the playground....

Stride Rites!!!

Yes maā€™am, my sonā€™s father would work overtime when our son needed a new pair of Stride Rite shoes. There was only one shoe store in our nearest city that carried them.
 
We still have a drawer in the laundry room thatā€™s dedicated to shoe polishes and sprays to protect against wet weather. Not sure why. Maybe black or brown I can understand. Even then I can just use a neutral cream or a polish sponge.
