Kelly's Black Shoe Polish 1.5 oz - Professional Leather Shoe Cream

I picked up Kelly’s 1.5 oz black shoe cream to refresh my dress shoes and leather jacket, and I’m pleasantly surprised by how well it performs. This polish isn’t just about shine — it actually nourishes leather and helps restore color with a professional feel. What I Really Like: Rich, Natural Wax Formula: The cream has a smooth texture thanks to its blend of natural waxes. It glides on easily without being too gooey, and it feels like it’s conditioning the leather, not just covering it. Leatherado Leather Supply +1 Excellent Color Restoration: A little goes a long way. This polish fills in scuffs and smooths out faded areas on black leather, giving an almost-new look. FootonBoot +1 Versatile Application: While I mostly used it on shoes, it works brilliantly on other smooth leather items like my belt and wallet. According to the product description, it's made for finished, grained, and smooth leather. Target +1 Compact and Travel-Friendly: The 1.5 oz jar is small enough to store in a little leather care kit. It’s perfect for touch-ups on the go. A Couple of Quirks: Not a Deep Conditioner: While it nourishes, it doesn’t act like a heavy-duty leather cream or deep conditioner. If your leather is old and very dry, you may still want something more intensive. FootonBoot Jar Needs an Applicator: There’s no built-in brush or dauber, so you’ll need a separate cloth or brush to apply it, which is a minor extra step. shoescleaning.net Can Be Messy: If you’re not careful, the cream can leave residue on edges or seams — but with a little cleanup and buffing, that’s easily managed. Bottom Line: If you want a professional-grade shoe cream that restores color, adds a polished shine, and supports healthy leather, Kelly’s 1.5 oz black polish is a fantastic pick. It’s not the fastest gloss possible, but for quality, conditioning, and regular maintenance, it’s a smart choice. Highly recommend keeping one jar in your shoe care toolkit.

Wonderful product. I have some shoes I didn't wear often that were kind of a cherry brown and didn't match things I wore. I was able to tone down the color with this polish. They are great shoes otherwise and I didn't want to discard them. Now they look brand new and a color that I love. I also have this polish in black and revived several other shoes. I was able to save a purse. It is easy to use. I let things sit about 2 days just to be sure I didn't brush up against anything and leave stains anywhere. It took less than 10 minutes start to finish and I just used a paper towel to apply. I think the directions advise a cloth and polishing with a brush. I used a thin layer and a paper towel and did not leave any globs. Perfect results. I have about 5 'new' things already.

I purchased a number of colors of this shoe polish, since it comes in a much wider range than the Kiwi brand that is usually available in the average shoe section of the average store. I had to return one color (the Burgundy, which is really a deep maroon) since it was not accurate, but the others (I bought five total) seem to match the photos. I can't speak to the longevity, since I just used them recently on a number of shoes, but it's easy to apply (you'll need a cloth to do so) and seems to cover minor scuffs and scratches. When used the same way as traditional polishes (which are more solid/waxy, while the Kelly's is, as described, a cream) then brushing and buffing, the shoes looked fine, the color was not altered, and overall it just refreshed them in the manner of traditional shoe polish.

Great polish. Works very well! Only bad thing and it’s nothing to do with product but the company handling it. 2nd polish I have gotten from them and it had a huge bar code stocker plastered to the lid. If you insist on having these oversized stickers, place it on the glass bottom underneath!!! Removing from metal lid, I had to use goo gone to get the stick residue off!

We bought a new leather sofa and before we knew it the cat had the zoomies and made scratches on it. We were just sick! Decided to try this product and not only did it hide the scratches, they practically disappeared. We were amazed. The color of the cream matches perfectly.

Great quality, worked on my heel tips ! Matched my shoes perfectly.

This stuff is not bad but not great… but I’m also no expert. I have a pair of blue leather low cuff, driving shoes. I ended up in some bad weather for a couple days and needed to restore the color. I cleaned them up and used this polish to restore the shine. The problem is it’s very water soluble and easily comes off. It can get really dark when applying and I needed a couple drops of water to thin out the polish and get some control on how dark the leather gets.

I had taken a slightly weathered-looking pair of Sperry's in grey to the local shoe repair. They didn't do a very good job. But a couple of coats of this "creamy" product did the trick, they now look close to brand new. Recommended.

This is a good quality shoe cream which penetrates the leather and shines up well. Good value.

Good purchase for my boots, was a good match

Llegó rápido y me dejó nuevos los zapatos

It worked well for refurbishing leather on a couch
