Customs of the day
15 Adar
On the day after Purim it is the custom to wear leather shoes buffed to a high gloss. If possible, one should travel to a railway station or airport to have the polishing done by a craftsman, who should be paid with an open hand. One who uses a machine, or does it himself, also fulfills the custom. One should also listen to shiny shoe music. In view of these customs, the day is known as Shoe Shine Purim.
