Simply the best. They use flame! Omg - they are only in Denver and Charlotte-I love them. And it's definitely hard to find a good shoe-shine these days as most men have given up on looking smart in favor of looking "casual". More's the pity. These guys are fantastic. If you need a shine that will make YOU shine? They'll do it for you. read more

Had a couple hours between flights at the Charlotte CLT airport and decided to stop by for a shine. There station is located at the beginning of the A concourse just across from Starbucks. There were 4 attendants working the station so the line was moving very quick. Also the price is the best I've seen in a while. They charge 5 for shoes & 7 for boots. I received the best shine I've ever had. The blowtorch was icing on top. Before and after pics attached. read more

When was the last time you saw a "creme brulee" torch being used on your shoes? Well I was walking casually through CLT, with a two hour layover before my next flight. It's actually a 3/4 of a mile hike from 33A for 33E and I was heading in the direction of the US Air Club. Just outside, I notice Executive Shoe Shine and three hard working, no that should be hustling employees, using the aforementioned blow torch on some shoes. One traveler had a shopping bag full of shoes and offered me his seat after finishing; I guess he was on his second of at least five pair and needed a rest. LOL Wow, I couldn't get over Cassy (see photo) putting the heat to his shoes. They were giving off a blue flame. Incredible! Fifteen minutes later my friend was back and I offered back his seat. The suggest price for their shine is $6.00 for shoes and $8.00 for boots. Ridiculous! That's a starting point for their tips. Take a look at the reflection off my shoes (photo). They didn't come out of the box looking this good and they are a nice pair of Allen-Edmunds. So Five Stars, hands down the best shine you'll ever have anywhere. read more

So, here's the scoop on this shoe shine stand. Week in and week out, I go thru the CLT airport and I pass by this shoe shine stand. Each and every time I pass it, .. all the chairs are filled and there is always a line. I must have passed by this shoe shine stand.. about 100 times and every time, there is a line. One day, I happened to get to CLT early, and I took my leisurely stroll past the Starbucks heading to A3 and walla... there is NO line.. Now, I have never had my shoes shined, except by me myself and my trusty Kiwi kit. I figure, I can head on down the aisle and get my usual beer prior to boarding or I could solve this one nagging thought about this shoe shine and make the pit stop. Whoa... I think I may have discovered my next obsession.. shiny shoes. I was took my throne in the high comfy seat and gazed at the lowly mortals that are rushing to their gates. Somehow, it felt good that I have time to spare. The lady, proceeded to undo my shoes.. taking the laces off and engaging in polite chit chat and she asked me.. how much time do I have?.. unfamiliar to the shoe shining etiquette.. I did not know what to say... Well it turns out, she is mindful of my time , so i can get to my gate quickly .. I told her I have an hour and she beamed at me.. I dunno why, but she was a happy camper.. She proceeded to lather on gobs and gobs of lotion and massaged it into my shoes.. I kid you not, my shoe was thirsty and it sucked in all that lotion. Following that, she applied layers upon layers of shoe wax and polish. I was thinking, that's a lotta polish and wax but she went on and on... Then she brushes it, then she oils the shoes, more massaging, more brushing, more oiling. aaahhhhhhhh what else is she gonna put on the shoe? A BLOWTORCH... Well, I ain;t telling you no more, cos it would be a spoiler. All I say is.. I doubt many will read this review in YELP , cos who'd read a shoe shine stand review. But if you do, make a stop at this shoe shine stand.. and experience for yourself a real shoe shine and happily hand over a fat tip. And guess what... I always always stop at this shoe shine stand.. read more

I travel for work....and the industry I work in is a suit and tie kinda environment. So the shoes need a shine from time to time. Yes, I could do them at home, but I never get that gleaming show like the pro do, so between flights I hit one of (what I think are) two stands on the edge of the main terminal. 4 seats long...there was a line at both places. I was seated and so began a complex process I had never experienced before...they placed white protective covers over my socks...love the detail! Next they "washed my shoes"...yes, that is what I wrote. During the was....I could swear they were massaging my foot over my shoe?????? Now that was the weird part.... Then back to the shine....they polished the shoe and even uses a military tactic of using a small flame to enhance the shine to...dare I say...a military grade shine ????? Perhaps?? $5....was a GREAT price...I was pleased I also tipped her a $5 too. read more

$5 for a fantastic shine. This guy worked super hard and I swear, my shoes look practically brand new! They'll do a quicker shine, but you will want to make sure that you have plenty of time so that they can give you the full performance. Several different shine chemicals and then the guy pulled out a blowtorch. Yes, a small blowtorch! Apparently, it expands the pores of the leather and allows the shine stuff to get in there. It was just a little on the odd side. So when all was said and done, it was 20 minutes (he made sure that I had enough time) and so I gave him some extra. Great, great work! read more

This was a very fast shoeshine in a busy airport I did have to wait in a line but sometimes that happens. The lady was really good at what she did, she wasn't untidy in what she was doing as some people are just reckless with shoe polish. Price is possibly the best part about it because I got it done for five dollars. The next time I'm passing through I will definitely stop and get a shoeshine again because this was good for me. read more

As a business traveler, my shoes see a lot of polish. But this was unequivocally the best shoe shine I've ever had.

Try to make time to get this whenever I am at the airport as this is hands down the best shine in Charlotte, period.

I get my boots signed at airports across the country and these folks are by far the best anywhere! I lost track of the many different applications but I loved the saddle soap bath and the blow torch! $13 for my boots and definitely well worth it!

They give good quality service. I was pleased with my shine. Cost for shoes is $5 plus tip. It represents good value.

This shoe shine company makes me re-think every 5-star review I've ever given, because they simply stand out -- in service and quality -- from nearly everyone else. I am even considering specifically flying to the Charlotte airport with a bag of shoes for them to shine and head back home. Well worth the inevitable wait. These shine experts spend a solid 20 minutes (if you have the time) to provide a truly top notch shine. As other reviewers note, they condition your shoes multiple times. This is huge. 99% of shoe shiners just give your shoes a quick clean before applying shoe polish which, over time, can be damaging for your shoes. The torch? I mean, c'mon -- amazing. I have now been to both the Denver and Charlotte locations, and they are both fantastic. I gladly tipped $10 on top of the standard $5. These people deserve it. read more

Very intense detail. My "travel" shoes haven't been touched in 9 months. They now look better than my brand new ones

I have been to the location across from Starbucks near the TSA security checkpoint B numerous times over the years. When I say numerous, I mean I arrive intentionally early when I need a shoe shine so that I can stop here. I have tried shoes shines around the country's airports and not only is this place the highest quality shoe shine, it's also the cheapest at only $5. It does take a solid 10-15 minutes per customer, but this is way more than just a spit clean. The people that work here are always friendly, hard working, and despite who does the shoe shine, the quality is consistent. I also recently had my leather belt done (only $3) and it looks new even after years of use. I hope you enjoy your shoe shine as much as I do! read more

This is one awesome shoe shine. Do yourself a favor and try it next time through CLT. The team has it down to a science, no matter what staff member does your shoes they come out looking great. I've never seen so much attention given to a shoe shine as this. A special treat for black shoes only is the blow torch treatment. It takes about 10 minutes and there can be a short wait but it is well worth it. Two locations I go to are at entrances to terminal A and terminal DEF. read more

Never in a million years did I think I'd review a shoe shine place. Certainly not one at an airport shoe shine, which is usually like fast food- very standard. Executive Shoe Shine truly shines!! The extra steps taken, the extra love shown to a few spots that had chipped, all of it was great!! My shoes look better today than when I got them, if that's even possible. Now I'll have to invent ways for my company to send me out to Charlotte. For those who call Charlotte home, you are LUCKY. The rest of us don't have it so good. read more
