Shoe Polish and Leather Care Blog

Today on Instagram, it appeared everyone was combining brown dress shoes with grey slacks. So, we had to follow-suit with this combination of Magnanni Colo derbies, Agave Denim Coco Mélange Grey slacks, and a Mirror Shine using our High Shine Paste/Wax and a touch of Light Brown Cream on the vamp.

I decided to pair my Allen Edmonds Margate Derbies with some Raleigh Denim Workshop Raw Denim jeans, and Nautica socks with a little orange highlight (it's Fall, after all).

Used: Walnut Cream Polish, High Shine Paste/Wax.

Check out these gorgeous "museum calf" custom green patina Allen Edmonds Dalton boots. These were given their patina by shoe artist Michael Baldinger. Final mirror shine was completed using our High Shine Paste/Wax.

11-minute video where Andy shows how to apply Paste/Wax Polish to the toes and heels of your leather shoes and boots. Andy gives descriptions of the "how's" and "why's" of using Wax versus Cream, where and why to apply it, and the different application techniques.

Imagine a pair of sunglasses for your shoes or boots. Lensing is a technique whereby you add a different colored or shaded lens to the toes and heels of your shoe or boot. 

Lensing is different from burnishing, antiquing, or patina, in that the color remains embedded within the wax, and doesn't impregnate itself within the base leather. It compliments leather patina, by adding a new dimension through light effects. This technique uses two key products - Cream Polish and Colored Paste/Wax.

Additionally, you can mirror shine on top of the lensing, for increased color and light effects.
