Is it true you can use pork fat as boot polish?!


Question: It probably could, it's a fat and it'll leave a glisten and gleam to the shoes, but it would be messy, there's easier ways to get a quick polish. My husband said that during his service in the US Marines he would use PAM cooking spray and just quickly rub the shoes and they'd shine as if he'd spent an hour getting them right. It was right up there with sleeping with your uniform under your mattress to press it, I guess. Shortcuts are really instrumental when you only have a handful of hours to sleep, if that. Kind of wrong section to post this though.

Only if the pigs finished with it.

I don`t know but the dogs will love you

yes but if your a vegan would you want too and would you ware leather boot,s!.

I've never heard that. Then again I'm vegan and couldn't care less about using pork fat, nor do I care about polishing my footwear.

That sounds like a trollish question and I am not even vegan.

Yes you can, but be careful. Some boots are made with glue that softens when exposed to oils or fats. You may end up with boots that slowly fall apart.

you probably can but i wouldnt put it on my Loakes or Churchills maybe something from Brantano after all you cant ruin rubbish shoes

I guess so. Maybe that explains why some people smell like ham.
