Our recommended polish & creams
If you’re on this page, chances are that you’re wondering which products and colours we recommend to look after your shoes. Below, you will find a comprehensive list of our current leathers with the recommended products. Please use this as a guide, but feel free to use some creative licence within reason. For instance, if you’d like to switch to a darker brown creme to enrich the colour, or a neutral polish to antique the leather, don’t let us stop you – just exercise caution and be sure to test the product on a small part of the shoe first.
