At Kirby Allison, we are proud to offer our Presidential Shoe Shine Service, a comprehensive shoe care service that follows Kirby’s renowned shoe shine technique, as featured in our Presidential Shoe Shine video guide.
This service is designed for shoes that require more than a surface shine. Each pair undergoes a full reset, beginning with the removal of old polish and buildup, followed by deep conditioning to restore suppleness and hydration. Edges and heels are refinished as needed before a high-quality wax finish is applied using the same meticulous technique found in our High Shine service.
This service is ideal for shoes showing signs of wear, dullness, uneven coloration, or buildup from previous polishing. While it significantly improves appearance and finish quality, it is not intended as structural repair or full restoration.
Level 1 provides a light shine focused primarily on the toe area
Level 2 delivers a medium gloss with greater depth and clarity
Level 3 is a traditional mirror shine for maximum brilliance
You may choose to replace your shoelaces with Kirby Allison Wellington shoelaces. If selected, lace style and color should be noted on the printable service form included with your order confirmation.
After placing your order, you will receive an order confirmation email containing a single link that directs you to your service page. This page includes your printable service form, packing guidance, and, if selected, a link to create your pre-paid FedEx shipping label. The completed service form should be placed inside the box with your shoes to ensure proper handling and avoid delays.
If you select the pre-paid FedEx label option, the label created through this link is for shipping your shoes to us. The shipping charge at checkout covers the cost of shipping your shoes back to you once service is complete. Orders with multiple pairs are returned together unless otherwise arranged.
All shoes are processed in a working queue managed by a single master shoeshine specialist. Orders are opened and worked on only when they reach the front of the queue. Total turnaround time from delivery to return shipment can take up to four weeks, depending on volume and the needs of each pair. The specialist will reach out if additional information is required.
Rush service is available for an additional fee and allows your order to be prioritized ahead of the standard queue, subject to availability.
For full details on shipping, turnaround timing, and rush service, please review our Presidential Shoe Shine FAQ page.
We look forward to caring for your shoes.
Although Kirby Allison travels the world to source product and film videos, we are based here in Dallas, Texas. Our warehouse is open to the public. Feel free to stop by anytime to pick up an order, chat with Kirby Allison, or ask any shoe care questions.
