Apologies for being quiet but we had a MONUMENTAL day! From wall to wall it was high polish and even higher praise. We’ve had boots brought especially for today, shoes that had never been worked over, sashes, vests, and everything in between. Our presenter can hardly stand! Let alone the rockstar Bootblacks who have given their all and then their all over again.

Our Shine Bar banner featuring our illustrious sponsors was the first thing our guests saw on their way up the stairs and our contestants were front and centre on entry into the main venue space.

Join us tomorrow at The Blue Oyster Bar to find out who takes home the sash and the title of Sydney Bootblack!
