SAPHIR NOIR Medaille d’Or Pate De Luxe - Natural Wax Shoe Polish for Leather Shining - 50ml - Light Brown

I have a closet full of brown leather shoes (maybe too many!). Good but not highly expensive. After years of neglect and me watching a few videos on shoes- most recommended this brand of conditioner or polishes. Once I received this, I nerded out and collected all my shoes and sat down to start bringing them back to life ( while watching football of course). I used a microfiber applicator and swirled it around in the tin. Goes on smooth. Most of my shoes were so dried out i had to apply twice. After a good brushing with my horsehair shoe brush ( if you don't have one - there are good sets on Amazon) they were revived. The one picture with two shoes shows a one with no polish the right one with one application. The other picture is of the shoes I'm wearing at work that I haven't worn in two years because they looked sad. It restores the color and richness of the leather. It also softens them up a bit. The brushing adds a bit of shine but all but 2 pairs really aren't "shiny" shoes. Those two pairs were night and day difference. I really didn't know how important good polish is...and actually taking care of leather shoes. Watch some videos...then get to work. It's actually pretty satisfying and relaxing ( even though my wife just rolled her eyes at me with my stack of shoes). Plus, this tin should last a long time.

Great stuff, recommend buying the cream first though

I was initially worried about the color because it looked way lighter than I expected it to, but it does go on as expected. It really spiffed up my shoes well. I can’t comment on the waterproofing ability yet, but it definitely feels like it’s more than just polish. The one (major) downside is the smell - holy moley. That smell is AWFUL. I currently have the two pairs I used this on airing out in the garage. I really hope the smell fades because I couldn’t wear them as is. The smell is so strong and unpleasant that I think I would get looks (and I wouldn’t be able to stand it myself!)

The finest restorer, very easy to apply.

Amazing
