No problem! ...As long as you have a banana! That's right, you can go polish your shoes with this yellow crescent of unparalleled beauty, let us show you how!

Step 1: Peel Banana

Take your banana and peel it. Take the fruit out and eat it if you like, just make sure you keep hold of the skin.

Step 2: Apply the skin

Using the inner lining of the banana skin, begin to rub it all over your shoes, just as you would if you were using a spot of polish.

Step 3: Buff

Once you have wiped banana over the whole of both shoes, take a soft cloth and begin to buff them up.

Step 4: Explainer

The natural oils in the banana soak into the leather, helping your shoes to last longer, whilst potassium, a key ingredient in commercial shoe polish, is found in abundance in bananas!

    Yep, totally works. Use the INSIDE of the banana skin, and make sure you use a cloth to buff your shoes straight away, otherwise it'll leave banana crap on your shoes.
