A lot of us in this area use this product. My bottle has done several coats and should do quite a few more. However, I find it not holding well to my NewBalance shoes. I applied it when they were brand new (never worn) without any special cleaning. I now find they need touching up after every game or two. I also find my NB shoes with SU seem to collect lint from everywhere, giving them a less-than-shinny look. It wipes off OK, but is still irritating.
I'm considering the Luster product....

My first attempt at applying Leather Luster, I did not get the old polish completely off first and I then applied the Leather Luster. Consequently, the Leather Luster never dried. I wore them to a rec game and picked up so much lint from the floor that I looked like I was wearing fuzzy slippers!
My advice is to
get the old stuff off first. You don't have to buy Leather Lusters remover. You can buy other removers. (mentioned at Leather Lusters website) Spend some time getting all the old polish off and it will dry properly.
