I've been shining shoes for 30 years. This is an excellent shoe polish on par with more expensive polishes like Saphir. This is an example (unlike the brushes) where you get what you pay for doesn't apply. The picture here is a single coat of polish. Yep... ONR coat and maybe a 5 minute job. If you want more shine (I don't) add another coat. "Two coats McFly". With that said half of getting a good result is the brushes you use. Get 100% horse TAIL hair brushes. You also need a buffing/shine brush and a finishing brush like the Saphir brush in the picture. Decent brushes may cost you a bit more but the results are worth it and honestly they are easier to use then a buffing rag. Complete your kit like this for pro results, see pics for my full kit: -Borenhair brush for cleaning stubborn dirt off without damaging the finish. -Horse tail applicator or foam applicator(like for car wax) for applying this great polish. -Horse tail hair Buff/shine brush - remove light dust and give yourself a field shine during the day and also for the initial buff after. -A buff rag or microfiber rag also for a final clean before applying polish is a good idea. -Horse Tail Hair Finishing Brush like the Saphir brush shown. This is a more dense brush that will give you a final shine and will rival the "spit shine" you get from a fast buff rag while easily done with one hand. Brushes are one of those things that gets confusing because of how they are marketed. And finding a dedicated shoe care shop may help, you can always come back to Amazon like I do to find the brush after. Also not all boots are created equal, some leather just doesn't take polish or mink oil depending on the grain. Read more

Great product. Cleans and restores leather my leather shoes. I don't like a shiny shine. But this goes on smoothly and looks soft,natural ,with a nice glow after buffing . Love this. Have been using the cake-type polish for years. Didn't know that cream polish is so much better AND is actually recommended by shoe experts. Read more

I like this product as much as others that cost double. Itβs probably nit quite as high quality as those, but for regular use on shoes that arenβt lifetime investments, give this a try! Read more

This is way better than the old dried out shoe polish and the runny shoe polish liquid. Itβs a thick creamy formula thatβs easy to handle and rub into your leather Read more

After purchasing both black and brown shoe polish, I have had good experiences with both polishes and would recommend both for those looking to utilize the traditional method of shoe polishing. The polish appears to be of a good quality and returns my shoes to a nice shine and color with each use. Given that each container will likely last me over twenty applications, I consider this to be a fairly good value, although after several uses, I likely will switch to using polish sponges due to how much more effort is involved in the traditional method for very little additional benefit. But, for those who subscribe judiciously to the traditional method, I would definitely recommend this polish. Read more

I've used it once. Seems to apply good. It appears a little goes a long way. I like that it is a cream and not the typical hard polish I'm a can that seems to dry up. It seems to have worked good on my boots for the first application. I like it. Read more

Used the cream on old, well worn leather clog type shoes that had never been polished, hoping they would look a little better. The shoes look great, really good. They have a shine and a richer brown color. The fact that there was no smell was bonus. Read more

Does not polish out to a good shine. It is dull on brown and black shoes / boots even after vigorous polishing and buffing. Not happy. Wish I had spent a little more and gotten Kiwi, which never disappoints. Read more
