Dutch championship shoe shining 2022 — The Shoe Care Retailer
Whereas unpacking the shoe shine championship sneakers at our office, I start to marvel if I can immediately spot the winner out of the three. After eradicating the shoe bag from the third and closing shoe there’s one which clearly jumps out at me and that is the shoe shined by Theo Frijn.
It is good to have the jury’s preliminary judgment re-confirmed. Nevertheless that talked about, what’s it that makes Theo Frijn’s shoe shine the right and what’s lacking throughout the shoe shines from the alternative two contestants Selwyn Lau, and Neil Mckenzie?
Methodology and setup
Our three candidates each wanted to work with a tin of neutral Saphir Médaille d’Or Mirror Gloss wax. Subsequent to that they each picked a darkish brown Saphir Médaille d’Or Pate de Luxe.
A popular approach amongst expert shoe shiners is to start off making use of various layers of Mirror Gloss. We didn’t actually matter by means of the rivals, nevertheless we predict each contestant utilized wherever between 6-10 layers of Mirror Gloss wax on the toe caps sooner than transferring on to finetune their shine using Pate de Luxe which is just used as a ending wax. Every waxes have been utilized using their bare fingers for optimum smoothness and distribution. All of our contestants used a shoe shine material to shine the wax. The truth is each used slightly little bit of water as successfully for greater outcomes.
Outcomes and variations
All three of the contestants have been able to create an outstanding mirror shine finish on the toe cap of the shoe. Nonetheless, the place you start to see an obvious distinction on Theo’s shoe is the rest of the shoe. The heel, vamp and sides of the shoe also have a phenomenal deep shine, the place the alternative two contestants principally focussed on the toe cap. Neil Mckenzie was able to moreover create a shocking shine on the heel, nevertheless not as good as Theo’s. Selwyn Lau principally focussed on the toe cap.
Conclusion
The rivals was strong this 12 months between our contestants. The jury was impressed with the outcomes these three contestants have been able to acquire inside solely 20 minutes. Most people would take hours to get to the equivalent stage of shine. Sadly, only one would be the winner, which this 12 months was Theo Frijn. Correctly deserved! Your complete shoe has obtained an outstanding and even shine all by means of the complete shoe. We want to thank Theo Frijn, Neil Mckenzie and Selwyn Lau for his or her sportsmanship and enthusiasm by means of the rivals.
