You wear your white shoes so infrequently.... I dont think I even shined mine.... just took them out of the box and put them on.
Plus, after wearing them once the heel/sole gets all stained and impossible to make white again... and the white stuff starts flaking off the rubber and it's yellow underneath... Wouldn't be worth it to shine them. You'd be buying a new pair as soon as you got them looking nice.

Then pop and get new ones... you only get commissioned once.
Not trying to call you out, but in case you don't know, it might be worth getting the white edge dressing. We use it here; it really makes your white shoes look like new again on the rubber sole portion.
Tried it... used it before my buddy's wedding... still came off relatively quickly. Maybe I'm just a much harder dancer than you guys.

It's funny you mention that, in my original post, before I edited it out, I had that it wears out/flakes off much quicker than the black edge dressing! Still, I think it's a much better option than buying new shoes. Keeping a decent shine with an all around clean white shoe with the white edge dressing is alot cheaper than buying a new pair every so often. Some guys here even spraypaint their white shoes, and when done right, it actually looks real good believe it or not.
As someone who entered the Navy when all shoes were leather - and aviators wore brown shoes - I'd like to see an Islamic-style, public whip-lashing of the dude at DOD who dictated plastic shoes for the military (it was probably McNamara). The're hot, stink & look phoney. There, I'm glad I got that off my chest - feel better already.
Don't they sell the white spray "shoe polish" anymore? I still have the same can from 10 years ago.
I've never seen it. My one roomate says not sold here; other one says if you go to the cobbler you can buy it there. I've not yet been to the cobbler.
