Shoe Polish Dauber

The most under appreciated piece of shining equipment is the polish dauber. When was the last time you talked about shining your shoes? Did you mention a dauber? I thought you didn't, but when you want to get the polish from the jar to the shoe what else would you use.
 

Wood Polish DauberI know it seems a bit mundane, but the polish dauber helps you avoid getting globs of polish on your hands and other shine implements. Most daubers are either brushes or foam pads with a handle. The professional daubers usually have a small round horse hair brush with a wood handle to make it easy to dip into the jar and then brush all over your shoes. The brush also helps get into cracks, crevices and other odd shapes in your shoes.
 

Wood and hair aren't known to be cheap, but you're in luck. CedarShoeTree.com buys them in such bulk that they are only $1.50 each. Buy wood daubers at the best place for shoe care, Cedar Shoe Tree.

Shoe Store Supply

I've had a few businesses contact me about shoe store supplies. There are many back room items that shoe stores need, but there aren't many places they can buy them any more. Common items include:

  • Shoe Store Collage - Try-On Socks, Brannock Device, Halter, Tongue Pad, Heel Grip, Shoe Stretch and Professional Shoe HornTry-On Socks
  • Knee-Hi  FootSox
  • Shoe Stretchers
  • Shoe Stretch (liquid or spray)
  • Halters
  • Foam Insoles
  • Heel Grips
  • Foam Taps
  • Cork Taps
  • Tongue Pads
  • No-Slip Pads
  • Instant Shine Spray
  • Shoe Polish
  • Shoe Cream
  • Professional Shoe Horns
  • Brannock Devices

These are all items common to shoe boutiques. Try-on socks are necessary for health code reasons (people come in the store without socks on and want to try on shoes). Bulk Halters, Tongue Pads, Heel Grips, Foam Insoles, Shoe Stretch, Stretcers, Foam and Cork Taps are used to help adjust shoes to fit the individual. Shoe Horns and Brannock measuring devices are for measuring and trying on shoes. Shoe polish, shoe cream and instant shine spray help spruce up shoes that were scuffed in shipping.
 

All of these products are used by shoe stores and boutiques everyday and there are not many suppliers out there for this type of stuff. The best wholesaler by far is Burten Distribution. They've been supplying shoe stores for over 25 years and are the largest shoe store supply company in the United States. Call them and get your shoe store supplies today.

Smooth Leather Shine

Meltonian Super ShineDo you have smooth leather you need to shine? Well, you can use shoe cream. You will have to use a dauber to put it on the shoe, let it dry and then buff it to make it shine.

Cedar Shoe Trees

There was a time when most people had one pair of shoes that they would wear until they wore out. Then, and only then would they replace them. The industrial revolution changed that. It automated many of the processes of cobbling shoes and lowered the overall cost. This allowed most people to have more than one pair of shoes. This brings rise to the question "What will happen if I leave my shoes in the closet?"
 

When you wear your shoes your feet sweat and the materials absorb the moisture. When you take them off they get crushed at the bottom of the closet. This damp environment is a perfect breeding place for bacteria and fungus. Also, sitting at the bottom of the closet, shoes easily get crushed and leather gets permanent creases. There is a solution to prevent both of these issues.
 

Cedar Shoe TreeCedar wood shoe trees absorb moisture, deodorize and help shoes hold their shape. Removing the moisture prevents fungus and bacteria from growing, protects your feet and stops your shoes from stinking. The smell is also prevented by the cedar while the shoe shape helps prevent shoes from becoming crushed or developing creases.
 

Protect your investment by purchasing Cedar Shoe Trees. The best name brand is Rochester Shoe Trees and you can find their products on sale at CedarShoeTree.com.
 

Walk happy.
