This brush works very well and as intended. I didn't experience any excessive "hair-loss" with mine and used it frequently for quite a while now. I can recommend this brush as all-in-one-solution. The cleaning-brush could be a bit more "rough" to be able to get rid of harder dirt, but for this price....

Been using this brush to polish my new black Fenlin boots. For refrence I've been using Haix polish which comes out of a squeeze tube with a sponge built in, as opposed to using hard polish like kiwi. I did notice hair loss while polishing the first couple times, nothing excessive and without much force. And brushing or just blowing on the boot solved it quickly. After using it almost every day for an hour I haven't experienced any more hair loss and it creates a decent shine. Not a mirror finish, but that might be due to the polish I use and my technique. For the price I think its worth it. I don't think it would be good for brushing dirt off however, best to use a rag or heavier duty brush first.

Makes a good shoe brush. Does not make a good toothbrush. By 2, one to get crap off your boots, one to apply boot Grease
