did you wash your shoes back in your home country? i never did. didn't know anyone else who did either. but my gf took me to a place that washes your shoes and i LOVE it.

i went ice skating the other week and after i finished my socks were drenched in what seemed to be my sweat and the sweat of countless other men. i put on my new shoes and after i got home, realized there was a perma-funk in my sneakers. but this shoe washing business... i am in love. they look absolutely brand new again (after all this slush and gross snow)

Come on mate, you are one of my favourite posters here, and now this shoe-washing business?? The whole thing seems so unwholesome. I know I shouldn't knock it until I've tried it, but next you'll have me ironing my socks, spraying cologne on my undergarments and massaging my hats. There has to be a line in the sand. Shoes are dirty by nature. Live and let live.

The shoe dry cleaners, right? (Well, they come back with dry cleaner tags on them)

I love this invention!

The trick is to not let your shoes get too dirty before washing them. Every few months my sneakers look brand new again.

Awesome!

There's two types of people in this world: those who buy white sneakers to show how clean they can keep them, and those who buy white sneakers to show how dirty they can make them.
