I Like This
This is what I used to use for baseball for leather shoes. Get it regularly from Honigs, though it's kinda hidden on their website. Don't use it now for basketball due to durable shine of patent leather. I do currently use this for my work boots for which "spit shine" is a prerequesite for continued employment. Low effort/high gloss shine.

The 'Patent Leather' Zigs aren't real leather anyway, they are a synthetic patent material.

I too looked for a while to see what products would clean patent leather until I realized my Zigs were not real leather...

Be sure to get the wipes for leather, and not the wipes for plastic / vinyl / pleather

Now I'm confused . . . if it's not real leather, which Armor-all wipes should I use?

This is true for many other modern "patent leather" products as well.
