Before 'running shoes' were so popular, shoes were mostly made of leather. They needed to be cleaned with shoe brushes, often 3 of them, one to brush off mud etc, one to apply polish and one to shine the polish.
A dying tradition, but I, for one, refuse to wear 'running shoes' for regular attire.
What else can I help you with?
