Let’s Talk About Kink – Bootblack

  • Bootblacking is the practice of caring for boots, shoes, and other leather apparel. While the term “bootblack” originates from the 1800s, in recent years the practice has experienced an increase in popularity in the Leather subculture. Bootblacks are commonly found in leather and leather-friendly bars, providing their services to the bars patrons. [From the online resource: The Bootblack Wiki]
