This shoe shine company makes me re-think every 5-star review I've ever given, because they simply stand out -- in service and quality -- from nearly everyone else. I am even considering specifically flying to the Charlotte airport with a bag of shoes for them to shine and head back home.
Well worth the inevitable wait. These shine experts spend a solid 20 minutes (if you have the time) to provide a truly top notch shine. As other reviewers note, they condition your shoes multiple times. This is huge. 99% of shoe shiners just give your shoes a quick clean before applying shoe polish which, over time, can be damaging for your shoes.
The torch? I mean, c'mon -- amazing.
I have now been to both the Denver and Charlotte locations, and they are both fantastic.
I gladly tipped $10 on top of the standard $5. These people deserve it.
