SAPHIR Creme Surfine Pommadier Shoe Polish - Beeswax Cream for Leather Products

Put simply, this seems to be the best balance of affordability and quality in terms of shoe polish. There are certainly cheaper options out there (such as Kelly's Shoe Cream) and there is one that is more expensive and higher quality (Saphir's Medaille D'Or line, comprised of their higher end items), but this stuff REALLY does the trick. Though it isn't up to par with the Medaille D'Or line, this Beaute Du Cuir line still uses natural ingredients that are especially good for leather while also enhancing its color tremendously. Heck, it even smells good! No chemical smell whatsoever with this stuff...it almost smells like cherry-flavored candy. In using it, there is going to be some excess on the surface that will rub off when you re-condition the leather or apply any wax polish on top of it. This doesn't seem to be exclusive just to this product, though, and even when some gets rubbed off, the enhancement of the color of the leather is still very much there. Though I didn't take before-and-after pics, I touched up my 3 pairs of leather shoes today, and I thought that would be the perfect time to take some pictures for this review. The color enhancement is tough to see on the dark brown ones (Allen Edmonds 5th Avenues), but it's VERY apparent on the other two pairs (Clarks Bike Toe Derbies in Tan and Allen Edmonds Byrons in Chili Brown). By the way, that third pair is just over 20 years old! Yes, the quality of the materials and the care of the previous owner (I bought them used since new shoes from Allen Edmonds are really expensive) should be credited for them still being in this good of shape after all this time, but this polish just elevates them to a whole new level, and people are shocked at how great they look, especially for their age. Just as a last note, I used Bick 4 Conditioner (from Bickmore) as well as Saphir's Beaute Du Cuir Wax Polish (clear) in conjunction with this cream polish. That wax polish is where most of the shine comes from. If you don't care about shine but want to preserve your shoes and make them look great with just one product, this stuff will do it! I've used it in several different colors, including the Dark Brown I bought here on Amazon, and it's never failed me. To be honest, I really don't see any need to go up to Saphir's higher end line (which, ounce for ounce, is double the price of this stuff) unless you're REALLY wanting the best of the best and nothing below that point. If that's not you, though, the Beaute Du Cuir line is where you should run to, as it's excellent quality while still being moderately-priced. Very pleased with this line of products!

This polish works great. My shoes had not been polished for almost a year. When I applied it, the leather just soaked it in and gave me a great shine.

After reading some online recommendations, I decided to try this shoe cream. I couldn’t be happier! My boots are made with nutmeg ebbtide leather, and the mahogany was the perfect shade! It is an extremely smooth, thick cream that brought my boots to a pleasant shine, hides the lightening spots of my leather, and makes them supple and soft. It only takes a small layer to revive my boots, and I’d say that one container can allow me to condition my boots about 200-300 more times, so it was definitely worth the cost. It feels so luxurious and works so amazingly that it felt like I was giving them a spa day 😌

The quality of the polish is great. The color and consistency are good. The packaging is a nice jar. The price for the amount is a bit much. Easy to use and apply just like other polishes.

superb coverage, makes surface look new ... apply luxe afterwards to get a super shine

It took awhile for delivery but this violet color is very hard to find. Thigh it seemed to be a little lighter shade than our leather Crate and Barrel dining chairs, I thought it was the best match available and Incoidl add a touch of black to darken it if necessary. It is a nice cream and I was able to match the color well enough to not need a black layer. It soaked in well and polished after drying. It did not fill in the tiny hairline cracks in the leather surface but I think this will moisten and protect the leather. Other brands sell purple or eggplant which is more like a burgundy and woild not match our leather color.

This is great shoe cream. I mixed this with another color to get the right shade. It is very bight orange. It is very creamy and give the leather a nice sheen once dried and polished.

This silver is what I really needed. I've never used a cream before and it took some getting used to but it went on well with a cloth and I also used a qtip in some tight areas. It's less forgiving than a wax polish in areas that join different colors so I'll need to work on how best to apply it in those areas.

Ca semble petit au premier regard, mais finalement y'a bien ce qu'il faut. La crème est qualité ainsi que le coloris.

J'ai commandé ce produit pour redonner un coup de jeune à mes basckets blanches et je ne suis pas déçue. Ce cirage les a vraiment bien reblanchie. Après les avoir laisser sécher j'ai ensuite passer une couche de rénovateur blanc et elles sont comme neuves

Muy buen color y calidad del producto. Había usando algunos otros que dejaban manchas blancas, como de cera en mis zapatos. Este producto es superior, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Lo quería para zapato granate y queda bien, los granates que había comprado hasta ahora tiraban hacia marrón

Conserva bien los zapatos por un precio razonable.
