\"Tim<\/a>
Tim Tetley works on Gordon Little\u2019s boots at Tetley\u2019s shoe-shine stand in the Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyo., south of Grand Teton National Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Few of Tim Tetley\u2019s patrons at the Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyo. are likely to think to examine his sleeves. But Tetley still wears the same uniform, white shirt with black bands to roll the sleeves if it gets hot, black pants and a matching vest \u2014 the same his grandfather wore when he started shining shoes, and that his father wore when he joined the family trade.<\/p>\n

For Tetley, a third-generation shoeshiner, the uniform is a way to honor his grandfather, who taught him how to shine shoes in a white shirt. It also doesn\u2019t hurt in attracting tourists to his chair.<\/p>\n

Walk into the Cowboy Bar, just south of Grand Teton National Park, on a busy night in the summer, and there might be a line of patrons waiting to climb into Tetley\u2019s chair. People take pictures as he scoots around on his stool, examining soles and whipping towels across the tops of boots until they gleam.<\/p>\n

Shoe-shining used to be a necessity to prolong the life of footwear, hand-made by cobblers. People owned few shoes in a lifetime and took care of them. Shining prolonged the life of shoes, healing cracks in leather and cleaning out dirt that caused \u00a0early decomposition.<\/p>\n

Today most of Tetley\u2019s patrons view his chair as a novelty. Of his business, about 50 percent are tourists. For visitors it\u2019s like a carnival ride to sit in the chair and have their footwear lathered back to pristine condition by someone dressed from an era passed, while in Jackson\u2019s famous bar with its saddle seats.<\/p>\n

Tetley polishes cowboy boots so recently purchased they are nearly pristine. People wear tennis shoes dusted with the dirt of the day\u2019s hike that Tetley returns to in-store white. He cleans the white tips of the colored canvas sneakers to brighten up the whole shoe. He can work the intricate straps of women\u2019s dress sandals. He\u2019ll even clean Crocs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a different business from when Tetley\u2019s grandfather, Henry Shook, first started shining shoes as a young man in St. Louis, Mo., in the 1920s after searching fruitlessly for work. At the time, many shoeshiners were black and worked only on shoes worn by white people. Shook, who was white, and looking for a way to create a niche market, decided he\u2019d clean only the shoes of black people.<\/p>\n

The stand at the barbershop where he worked was primitive. Shook didn\u2019t have a stool and instead worked on his knees. He charged about 10 cents a shine.<\/p>\n

Tetley\u2019s father, Craig Tetley, started working beside Shook as a child and eventually joined his father\u2019s business, although he expanded to serving people of all races.<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/a>

When Tim Tetley was a kid and got into trouble, his punishment was to shine all his dad\u2019s shoes \u2014 he owned about 20 pairs. Still, some of Tetley\u2019s fondest early childhood memories come from days spent at the shoe shine stand, where this dad let him help out and even start polishing shoes when he was 9 or 10 years old.<\/p>\n

Watching his father and grandfather work, Tetley easily picked up the technique and skills, from the way the shoe is polished to the art of small talk. He liked meeting people from all walks of life and hearing their stories.<\/p>\n

Shoe-shining is traditionally a profession for men and boys. Tetley\u2019s sister never went into the business. Tetley, too, planned on following a different career path when he got older. He worked as a truck driver for six years and owned a diner. But he always came back to shoe shining.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, he walked into the Cowboy Bar and saw the chairs, relegated to decoration after years of sitting empty. The last time someone regularly shined shoes at the stand was in the 1980s. He inquired about the space, and now works in the bar starting at 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, staying open as late as business is steady. It usually takes him about 15 minutes to finish a pair of boots.<\/p>\n

One night, he had a rancher who recently finished calving. His boots were covered in blood. Cleaning and shining took almost two hours. Tetley still charged him the $10 he always charges.<\/p>\n

On quiet nights he\u2019ll recruit a customer for a free shine. Sometimes all it takes is seeing someone in the chair to spark interest. It\u2019s hard to know which nights will be busy and which slow, but he\u2019s able to make a living, working year-round \u2014 except when the bar is closed in the off season.<\/p>\n

For his regular customers, it\u2019s a small luxury, like a hot shave for men, or a manicure for women. For a few minutes they can relax in the chair and sip a beer, while someone takes care of their shoes.<\/p>\n

One regular customer comes in with his basic $1,700 cowboy boots with two huge diamonds for decoration.<\/p>\n

Tetley rubs off the loose dirt and brushes the boots, then uses saddle soap to clean the shoes. Unlike his grandfather, Tetley uses a small hair dryer to dry the shoes, instead of toweling. Then he adds the wax, which keeps the moisture in and gives it the shine. Tetley keeps a black, brown and neutral colored wax. His grandfather used to keep 200 colors, but Tetley doesn\u2019t have the storage space.<\/p>\n

He finishes by brushing out the wax with the towels he whips over the shoes until the wax loses its pasty look and gleams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trick to a shine is in the towel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In some ways, shoe-shining has gotten harder. He now gets cowboy boots with intricate designs and colors and white stitching on dark shoes. It\u2019s easy to ruin a pair of a shoes if someone doesn\u2019t know what he is doing. It\u2019s also why today he needs a business license and insurance.<\/p>\n

Tetley, like many shoe shiners, won\u2019t trust anyone else to shine his own shoes, so he does them himself. That\u2019s another way to check the quality of a shoeshiner: look at his shoes.<\/p>\n
