Leather and Elbow Grease

South Congress — Austin, TX. A rag, a tin of polish, and a boot up on the stand. Boots aren't a costume in Texas — they're part of the uniform. Work boots, dress boots, boots you inherited from your dad, boots you bought on a whim at Allen's down the street. People take care of them the way other places take care of a nice watch. Stopping for a shine on South Congress isn't a tourist moment. It's maintenance. And there's something timeless about watching leather come back to life under somebody's hands
