SAPHIRRenovateur 250 ml jar

I have been using this product for a while now and it is the best shoe cream I have used. This product softens the leather and it will also give a decent shine as well. Very good on quality shoes.

Great product and I love the larger size.

A little pricey, but worth it for quality shoes.

I took up an interest in bringing old shoes back to life and maintaining my nice shoes in great condition. Everything I read said this stuff was the leather moisturizer/conditioner to use. I bought small jars, finding this product fabulous to deep condition leather shoes. I’ve moved to this larger size just because I love to take time with my shoes, my family’s shoes, my friends’ shoes... :-)It does leave a nice sheen behind, but I always use the Pate de Luxe neutral polish for extra gloss.

I primarily use this for conditioning leather boots. It works great. The Medaille D'or is slightly better, but the Beaute Du Cuir is a great product. I have yet to find anything that beats Saphir products for leather conditioning.

Saphir Renovateur is the absolute best mild shoe polish/conditioner you could use for your shoes (if it’s an appropriate type of product for your shoe). It has a low wax content with nutrients for your leathers. Some hand painted patinas are sensitive even to this, so make sure you know what type of finish your shoes have. But most full-grains will benefit from this product. There are no hydrocarbons used in any Saphir products, and they remain the industry standard of excellence till today. All turpetines used in their products are derived and created from pine trees and are not petroleum based, so you don’t have to worry about their products clogging the pores of your fine leathers and degrading them over time like just about every other product on the market will do. Something other products won’t and don’t tell you.Saphir products will lengthen the lifespan of your shoes or leather goods, while other products of the exact same type will substantially shorten them in comparison; degrading and compromising the leather over time. I recommend only using Saphir products (that’s all I use), with Saphir Renovateur being one of the most important steps in shoe maintenance and care. Use this with the appropriate shoe brushs which can be bought at Kirby Allison’s The Hanger Project.com. You can’t go wrong. Watch videos on youtube on how to take care of fine leather and suede shoes under The hanger project.

It worked

That's really it...it's expensive but it really preserves and protects the leather so well. Wouldn't use anything else.
