These are what shoe brushes used to be before they were made in China, and made from something other than horse hair. Never ever use a brush on your shoes and boots that is not 100% Genuine Horse Hair. These are high quality. Sure,its going to shed a hair here and there, they all do, the horse did.
These brushes are long and will cover a large area of buffing with one stroke. Made in Israel and made well, these will last you a lifetime.
