You should water polish those black oxfords. If anything, black shoes only look complete with a deep lustrous onyx shine.

ok here are my C&Js are about a year or so of usage (lots of walking and some travelling) and regular polishings. i've enhanced the contrast on the pics to show off the grain and scuffs. the chelseas get the least mileage.
