Shoe, Boot, and Leather Goods Pure Polish Users Community

Aussiesolemate shared a valuable IGTV tonight, where he talked about his top four recommended shoe care products and the reasons behind why you want them. Shoe Trees (where he mentioned Trimly - one of our Stockists), a natural horsehair brush, a High Shine Wax, and Cleaner Conditioner.

It was super exciting today to see the first person tag us in a TikTok Video since we recently joined the app (@PurePolishProducts)! Thanks to JSlow90 who shows us that she appreciates the sweet orange smell of Pure Polish, and while she'd love to eat it, she knows she shouldn't. We get it, JSlow, we get it!

Check out this beautiful bespoke derby made by Bob Bautista, bespoke shoe maker out of Seattle, Washington for RAB Bespoke. He utilized a gorgeous hemp Norwegian stitch to contrast against the deep purplish hues of the Horween oxblood Russian hatch grain leather.

One of our more frequently asked questions is: "What color polish do I need for my cognac footwear?"

Well...it depends, as the industry isn’t perfectly consistent with name = color. Is it cognac or dark cognac, shell cordovan or calfskin, which tannery, UV faded, museum, burnished, etc.?

Above is an example of David "DEShellvedge" where he uses a combination of Pure Polish Neutral Cream as a light cleaner and conditioner to smooth & condition the under layers, followed by a mix of Brown & Walnut Water Resistant Cream and lots of buffing to bring out the glow on these gorgeous Enzo Bonafe boots.
