Shoe/Boot Brush with Handle

[MJDale]

I have an old brush for cleaning shoes/boots which has a handle on it - it is very good as it does not slip out of your hand but it is very old and the bristles are wearing out. I have struggled to find a suitable replacement.

Can anyone please tell me where I may find a shoe or boot polishing brush with a handle?

I don't think that brushes like the one you describe have been made since the start of the second World War! This type of brush was usually used with metal polish for cleaning silver, or with 'Zebo' for blackening fireplaces and cooker ranges. The only more modern examples I'm aware of have been stiff-bristled, like nail brushes and scrubbing brushes.

Perhaps you could find a suitable handle in a hardware store that you could screw onto the back of a regular shoebrush?

We still have out cats old 'stroking' brush. It has a handle & although we don't use it for shoe cleaning, I'm sure it would do the job!

P'raps if you pop to your local pet shop, you may find what you're looking for.

Carls358 - yes that is the type of thing - Good Lord - aren't they expensive! - I think the one that I have is probably one described by heathfield but the furniture polishing brush that you have pointed out is likely to be a good replacement. Do you use yours for shoe polishing - I was wondering what the bristles are like - I also wonder whether I can get one any cheaper anywhere.
