    Looking to buy shoe care products in HK

    Hi all

    I've been looking for shoe care products (shoe shine, brush, etc as well as suede cleaner). Could anyone please be so kind to tell where to buy those things? I'm in Sheung Wan

    Cheers

    Al

    There is a shoe repair store in Melbourne Plaza, ground floor at the back that sell all sorts of shoe care products - from stripping agents to polish, to brushes. For shoe trees, I buy from the shoe repair guys beside A&F - only buy the cedar full shoe trees. If cost no object, then The Armoury 3rd Floor A&F Building sells entire shoe shine kits, including the box.

    Just to add to threelittlepigs useful post, the shop in Melbourne Plaza is called The Groom and has shops in other locations.

    Sadly, they turned out to be less than helpful with my request. Walked in with my suede upper safety shoes which are in need of a solid cleaning job, and some stain removal (industrial grease) and they seemed rather clueless like they have never seen suede upper shoes before. Rather than clean the shoes themselves, they offered to sell me some cleaning agent for suede shoes, and encouraged me to try it myself. So I'm thinking to myself here, if I could handle it on my own would I have had to go into their shop in the first place.
