This is a polishing cloth made of soft cotton, the same material used for Alden's genuine shoe pouches. This large, single-piece cloth can be folded to your preferred size and is safe to use on leather without causing scratches. Polishing after a basic cleaning will create a beautiful, natural shine. Also included is a genuine Alden shoe horn. It makes putting on shoes smoother and protects the opening from damage caused by friction. Always use a shoe horn when putting on your shoes. Forcing shoes on or off will damage the opening and shorten the overall lifespan of the shoes.
