Things You'll Need:

- Color Shoe Polish in your shoes color
- Leather Cleaner
- 3 Micro fiber rag
- lighter or match
-
Step 1
The first in making your shoes look new again is to sit down and realize that it took a long time to wear them down so it will take 20 -30 minutes to properly make them look new again. Take out one of your micro fiber rags and add leather cleaner to this rag. Be sure to add a generous amount.
-
Step 2
Take the rag with cleaner and run down the whole shoe. Make sure to massage the cleaner into all the cracks and grooves in the shoes. You may need to add more cleaner as you are going on as your rag may dry out. Now do the same to the other shoe and then proceed onto the next step.
-
Step 3
Now make sure to let the shoes dry. Take the match or lighter and open your can of shoe polish and light it on fire. Yes I said light it on fire. Let it burn for about 10 seconds and then cover it up with the lid and the flame will go out.
-
Step 4
Take another micro fiber rag and get a good amount of the polish in a semi liquid form on it. Now begin to rub in the polish in a circular pattern. Be sure to massage in a good amount as this is what is restoring your shoes to brand new form. Continue to massage in polish until you have completely gone over your entire two shoes.
-
Step 5
Now taking you last micro fiber rag start to rub back and forth to add shine to your shoes. This quick rubbing motion is what is going to make your shoes shine up and look brand new again. If you finish rubbing and there are still some spots just repeat steps 4 and 5 again on those spots.
