Wood shoe brushes for polishing with bristles made of genuine horsehair. Horsehair bristles create extra heat compared to other bristles, which makes shoe polish more liquid, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the small pores of the leather. Horse hair brushes clean, condition, and protect your leather by vigorously brushing to reveal the flawless, shining surface underneath. Stiff enough to clean dirt and debris, but soft enough not to scratch or harm fine leather footwear.
