[In part this is because people wear suits
and smart shoes much less. Covid accelerated that with more working from home, but a trend was in place before then. ‘Also, trainers are being worn more and more – even to work. While shoes are dying, trainers are alive. We now renovate sneakers – repair and paint them.’ Shoe-shining has been synonymous with Kiwi for more than a century. It’s the polish many of us will remember opening when told to clean our shoes as schoolchildren on a Sunday night. It is bought in at least 180 countries and accounts for more than half the polish sold globally.] [How the shine came off the great British tradition of polished shoes: Market leader Kiwi to stop selling shoe care products in UK as WFH culture and laxer office rules sees trainers rule as the dominant footwear of choice Kiwi have decided that they will no longer be selling shoe polish in the UK Trainers are becoming the popular shoe of choice as office culture lessens Their rival, British firm Cherry Blossom, which also began in 1906, sees Kiwi’s exit as a huge opportunity] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ar-choice.html Sign Of The Times Last edited by arista; 01-01-2023 at 02:49 AM. |

I would say the opposite is true, and infact more people are wearing shoes these days than trainers.
