Do you own a pair of shoes that’s worth shining?

A man should shine his own shoes anyway.

I find shoe shining to be therapeutic. During army basic training it was one of the only times you could sit quietly and do something. I shine at least one pair of shoes every month or so.

Never felt the need to shine my shoes. Can’t say I look at shoes of other people either

No.

I don't shine them but my daily footwear is a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers. About once a month I clean them with saddle soap and oil them with mink oil. They get a lil shiny after that. They are a few years old and still look new. $350 dollar boots and they'll probably last me 10 or so more years. It's around $100 to have them resoled.

It takes 15 minutes to clean/shine shoes, just do it yourself while you're watching tv.

When they need to be shined i just throw them away and buy more.

Several.

And I own a shoe shine kit. My dad gave it to me as a high school graduation present.

A man should know how to shine his own shoes and iron his own shirts. But, if he chooses to pay someone else to do it, he shouldn't bitch about it.
