Nicely polished shoes are a man's obligation. This time around, I want to introduce an easy way to high shine your classic cap toe to give it that formal look. This tip only only on calf skin.
綺麗に磨かれた靴は男の身だしなみを一段階引き上げる大切な要素です。今回は綺麗にお手入れした靴に一工夫をする、ハイシャイン仕上げ（鏡面仕上げ）を簡単に実践出来るこつをご紹介。以下の動画をチェックしてみてください。

1. Brush off the dirt and dust of your shoes.
2. Rub in shoe cream (not polish), and leave it for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
3. Buff up the shoe using a shoe brush.
4. Wrap a old t-shirt on to your fingers.
5. Dip (Im mean literally dip that cloth) into the polish and scrape a chunk.
6. Apply that chunk until it smooths out. Do this three times to make a thick layer of polish on the cap toe.
7. You don't need the polish anymore. Just poor a bit of water in the lid.
8.Apply about one water droplet on to your cloth and start rubbing.
9. Just keep adding one water droplet amount of water to your cloth and buffem'
10. You'll start to notice the texture changing and the shine.
11. Just keep on repeating step 9.

This tip is an easy and quick way to shine your shoes however, its a bit of stress for the shoe. Leaving on the polish for a long time may result in cracking and wearing. So please do wipe off the polish regularly and give the leather some air.
意外にお思いでしょうが、ポリッシュを動画同様たっぷり付ける方法の方が早く確実に靴をハイシャイン仕上げに出来ます。怖がらずに一度お試しを。注意ですが、ハイシャインを長い間靴に施行しておくのは革には好ましくありません。定期的にポリッシュを落として、革に空気を吸わせましょう。
