Dark Cognac Enzo Bonafé Balways
November 02, 2020

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.
