Recommendation for Shoe Polish (Leather & Patent)
 

Any particular brand to recommend for polishing your leather/patent kicks? If you please post a link for the purchase that'll be great. Thank you~!

Ps, I've tried a bottle of that brand starts with "Ta sth." but the foam on the top didn't hold long... it was great otherwise though.

Polish patent leather shoes? Why? I don't think I could get them any shiner even if I wanted to.

As for the basic leather shoes, I have always just used kiwi paste wax and a rag.

Shape Up. Once a year or so is all that is needed.

saw a couple of products that were for patent leather.. and they were neutral/transparent color

That may be, but do you find that your patent leather shoes stop being shiny?

Perhaps try a little warm water and a soft cloth. Maybe some windex? Maybe even some nail polish remover? I've actually used the nail polish remover on some patent leather shoes many years ago to remove scuff marks...and it worked great. They were not referee shoes, however, and they may have been a different material.....so try it in a non-visible spot first (or on an older pair).

thanks for your advice, i'll give it a try once my patent ones got scratched

I've Never Used This Product ...
 

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...

I use Armor All wipes on my Zigs...it works great.

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

That sounds good, I will try that!

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?

Sorry, I missed the "patent leather" part of the discussion.
