This is another step in the maintenance process of this footwear. After you have washed and cleaned your pair, you can then polish and buff them if you want. With a soft cloth, apply some shoe polish to the leather. Apply it in smooth, circular motions. Oh yeah, and you may want to do this outside or lay down some newspaper underneath (as shoe polish stains can be a nightmare to remove). Then, with the polish applied, take your shoe brush and remove any excess polish that you see. To wrap up, take a soft cloth and buff the surface (simply use back-and-forth movements to do so).
