I always appreciate the site of a guy in the city wearing a perfectly fitting suit, tasteful tie, and crisp shirt. They don’t have to be hansom, tall, skinny or any of those things; they just need to know how to dress.
I saw a guy like this the other day. He was short and stocky, but his suit fit him to perfection, his pants were exactly the right length and just the right amount of his shirt cuffs could be seen. His shoes were fashionable, but not over the top. His look was almost perfect, but he had missed just one tiny little thing…
His shoes needed cleaning.
It wasn’t a big thing, but they were all scuffed and drab, and with a 5 minute polish they could have lifted his whole look into true smartness.
Lots of guys seem to do this, they have a lovely outfit but their shoes are dirty. You need to think about the whole look.
For some reason women’s shoes don’t usually seem to suffer the same fate, perhaps because we have more pairs of shoes so each pair doesn’t get worn as much ^_^.

We men really seem to have an issue with polishing shoes and I don't know why. It takes about a penny's worth of polish and a few minutes. The payoff is worth far more than the effort, time and money put into it.
Men's shoes, or least good quality shoes, are expensive and can last for years with a bit of care.
Hey Anon, I know! It's such a simple step. MrIcy is particularly frugal (actually he just hates shopping), so he polishes his shoes regularly (and mine if I ask nicely -_^).
