Korea - Shoe Shine at ICN?

Sorry for the weird question, but I'm flying through ICN next week, and the Canadian winter has beaten up my dress shoes a bit and I'm wondering whether I could get a shine in the airport between flights.

I've checked the ICN website and done a search here, but can't find any information.

Thanks for your help...

Moved to the Asia forum, since the question is about the airport and not the airline (Asiana). Hopefully it will find a knowledgeable responder here.

That's a good question. I don't recall seeing any shoeshiners.

Years ago I was at ICN - as *G (my miles are with UA) I was able to enter SQ's Silver Kris Lounge. Assuming my brain cells haven't failed me I could have sworn that there was a shoe shine machine in the bathroom inside their lounge.

I don't vouch for this - the Silver Kris in HKG also had a shoe shine machine for a long time as did TG's Royal Silk Lounge in the old Don Muang in Bangkok - now all gone... pity

Sorry, it seems like your brain cells have failed you. ;) No offense here BTW. :) The shoe shiner was nearby the food station at the east (Raffles) side entry of the lounge, not in the restroom which was located at the west (First) side.

There is no more SKL in ICN.

Land side, I never saw shoe shine.

Your only option is to go to the street of Incheon city, may be better to bring your own stuff...
