Often I stress about the importance of having proper shoe care. Because when you invest in a pair of good-quality leather shoes, there's really no excuse for you not to take proper care of them. In fact, you not only want to ensure its longevity, but also want to see how its patina evolves through your deliberate maintenance. I suppose that's why I am always intrigued to explore different methods to enhance my shoe-shining techniques, as well as to try out different products

One of the questions that I received the most from you guys is what type of dress shoes you should get. This question struck my mind particularly as I believe that everyone has its own style and there is not an one-size-fit-all answer. Thus today, I want to start off a new series that introduces different types of dress shoes so you could have a better idea on what you should get. Since Monk Straps are my personal favorite, they will be the ones to kick start this new series.
