Who says no one notices your shoes - this aphorism, apparently popularised by the movie ’The Shawshank Redemption’ has silently insinuated its way into our contemporary mode of thinking. However, here at Abbeyhorn we beg to disagree! How often have you sat in your doctor’s waiting room or have commuted on the train with nothing to do but people watch, we bet you checked out everyone’s shoes.
To quote Esquire “These may be the ugly weapons and processes of shoe care”, yet Abbeyhorn says
is perfect for the application of every quality shoe polish. Don’t slather it on, apply with a circular rubbing motion, but don’t be afraid to be aggressive. The natural boar bristle ensures an even application of polish while the practical, yet robust, beech wood body of the brush provides the ultimate way to release the stresses of a rough day on the hard front and remember the more you rub the better it gets. The whole piece has then been lovingly backed with a thin sheet of highly polished and colourful cow horn to add a little opulence to ensure shoe care does not become shoe chore.
has a longer beech wood body, than it’s little sibling, to ensure a firm purchase for the vigorous buffing required to whip up that perfect shine. The natural pig bristles are renowned for their strength and resilience but their ability to “give” ensures this elegant horn backed polishing brush will take the hard work out of caring for your shoes.
are just great for removing scuff marks, mud or dirt from your ‘Blue Suede Shoes’. The ergonomic beech wood handle facilitates the firm grasp necessary for brushing scuffed areas, vigorously, with a back and forth motion yet also provides the comfortable hold required for the gently brushing away of dust or dirt. Brush in the direction of the nap and don't go back and forth to lift off the dirt, then use a steamer, an iron or a kettle, held at a distance of approximately six inches, to steam the suede just enough to make it hot, before brushing once again to bring that nap back up.
