A 5min shoe shine wont hurt anyone.

I had never thought much about it before I saw him shine his shoes, but I think that it is really cool. It makes him seem more respectful (If that makes sense).

Anyways – there are still a few shining shoes these days… :)

IMO, if you’re going to go through the effort to tie a tie, you should go through the effort to shine your shoes.

And for the record, I generally don’t shine my shoes every week, and when I do, it is usually on a Saturday or weekday evening. I never do it Sunday morning.

Speaking of children’s shoes, I need to shine my son’s shoes.

Are there people around who feel like respect is lost if shoes are unshined? Honestly, shoe-shining is probably the least of all the worries on my mind, like making sure my kids can FIND their shoes for church!

If it really is a true sign of disrespect in this day and age to not have perfectly shined shoes, then I guess I should make more of an effort! :)

There aren’t any show shiners here though.
