This brush is awful! I bought three and all of them are equally bad. The hairs are great, when they aren't shedding all over your shoes! Every stroke leaves a couple of hairs behind. I'm not taking about every time I clean my shoes, I'm talking EVERY time I do ONE horizontal brush stroke a couple of hairs are left behind. I don't know what kind of glue they used on this but it doesn't hold at all. Avoid this brush at all costs unless you like to torture yourself.
