[Schoenen - Onderhoud] Schoenen poetsen

[Charlie]

Geen idee hoe ik hier aan kom:


Ook geen idee hoe ik er af kom...

Ideeën?

Heb precies hetzelfde. Combinatie van pekel en te veel poets. Beetje schrobben met zadelzeep en harde borstel. Werkte prima.

Heb schoonmaakazijn nog niet geprobeerd.

Vraag voor de kenners. Kan ik voor paardenleer Saphir Medaille d'Or Renovateur gebruiken of moet ik andere spul hebben voor deze soort van leer?

[Desiderata]

Ik heb Horween hier eens over gemaild. Zij raden aan de schoenen af te nemen met een zachte, licht vochtige doek gevolgd door goed borstelen.

Daarnaast kan (inderdaad) Saphir Renovateur of Creme Cordovan worden gebruikt. Ik heb Creme Cordovan, dat bevalt prima.

At first:


Slecht weer schoenen:


Dit er maar van gemaakt.

The feature is as much about how difficult life can be as an immigrant in the United States as it is about the art of shining shoes. An excerpt:

In a city now lousy with canvas uppers and flip-flops, the bootblack has lost some of his cachet. But he was once a highly romanticized fixture of urban mythology — in popular imagination, often a street-savvy scamp or a jolly older fellow, laboring to assist and delight. (For example, take the lyrics to Red Foley’s 1950 hit “Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy”: “Have you ever passed the corner of Fourth and Grand?/ Where a little ball o’ rhythm has a shoe shine stand/ People gather ’round and they clap their hand/ He’s a great big bundle o’ joy.”) In reality, the people who shine shoes in New York today are mostly immigrants from Latin America — mainly Ecuador — and they labor for the same prosaic reason we all do.
Jessica Muy shines shoes up to six days a week, 11 hours a day, at the Leather Spa in the lower concourse of Grand Central Terminal. She told The Times that a good day brings $80 or $90 and a slow one brings as little as $40. What extra she has, she sends back home to her young daughter in Ecuador. Alex Valente, who works at the East 55th Street branch of Leather Spa, has had better luck. “I made my dreams come true in shoe shining,” he said. “I raised my son here, put him through college, helped with his wedding, and now I’m retiring and moving back to my farm in Brazil.”
Nearly two centuries after Daguerre immortalized that Parisian bootblack, Christopher Griffith photographed the hands of 52 Manhattan shoe shiners. The images are difficult to place. Flesh bound in cloth: They suggest fashion photography or classical statuary or even religious imagery, shroud-wrapped bodies in deathly repose. […]
Griffith says he was struck by his subjects’ approach to their work. “Different shiners had completely different techniques,” he said. “There’s water techniques, there’s dry techniques, different textures of the fabric.” But all shoe shiners have one thing in common: the rag, the most disposable and yet the most indispensable tool of their trade. A long strip of fabric that gets twisted around fingers and then back over the flat of the hand, the rag works the polish into the deepest cracks, then buffs it till it gleams.

Fraaie foto. Ingelijst aan de muur van je mancave.

Wel even die pimpnagel wegshoppen.

Ben benieuwd.

Je kunt ook gewoon wandelschoenen kopen als je weer eens buiten gaat spelen, you know.

Schade van gister, 2 collegas laten zien wat Kingsday is.
