Do you guys use the Shoe polish stands at the airport? Are they good?

Guy in Charlotte shined them, then had a propane torch he lit and waved it on the shoe. No idea what that does but best $5 shoe shine ever. Always disappointed now when they don't try to light my foot on fire...

Charlotte is outstanding. They condition the shoes before shine. The torch just warns the polish for extra shine, it’s great.

i like doing them and agree it’s relaxing, but they can’t really hold a candle to a shoe shine at a shoe repair store. they also tend to be more expensive. they are good in a pinch though.

Yes. Very relaxing imo

SC1 what shoe shine places do you go to...I’ve always gotten an airport shoe shine for $5.

Also I think the job is the same

Best airport shines -IAH. And price up to $6 and if you have an extra few minutes, you can see you reflection in your shoes (sounds a bit creepy, eh?)
