Try this: before you polish the new shoes, use a rag and some rubbing alcohol and wipe the shoes down really well, let them dry, and then polish them up...several companies - including New Balance - coat their new shoes with a waxy coating to make them look better longer in the box...the rubbing alcohol takes that off and lets the polish get right into the leather...I also use a liquid polish called Shape-Up which works great...
