bootblacking is the practice of caring for leather within the leather community; it's not limited just to boots, as i frequently care for jackets, chaps, harnesses, and pup hoods. we have a very important role in making sure the community at large has somebody they can go to for maintaining their gear and its longevity.
here's the article for bootblacking on both leatherpedia and a more fully fleshed wikidot :)
Show your humility to me - polishing my boots is not that different from foot washing, isn’t it? It’s such an important virtue, selflessness. Do a good job of cleaning them first; God values cleanliness and purity. Work the polish in with your fingers, feel the leather against the tips of them. It is an honor to serve me, to act like Christ in your obedience. Take joy in your labor.
I'm very new to bootblacking as a kink but quickly getting obsessed. I want to have my Kaene cared for as well though. Have my bootblack clean and polish my cane and boots. Show their dedication to me. Simply wonderful.
