You see a man or woman and think  Wow.  Very put-together.  Is it the hair?  The clothes?  Possibly, but look down.  Chances are, the shoes are tidy, shiny and clean.  The secret is out, and I have had 2 shoe shines in a week – one the old fashioned way, with a corpulent woman flicking towels at my feet, and one with an electronic device that left a brilliant shine.  My calves were sort of massaged in the process (I was in boots) and it was a heck of a lot cheaper than a manicure – yet I left with that happy feeling that I had been cared for.  So if you’re short on time, and want a treat, head to a cobbler and get a bit of yourself put back together.
