Choosing the right shoe polish colour can be daunting but its always important to remember that they is rarely a perfect match. With that in mind, see what we recommend for Chestnut RM Williams.
Saphir Médaille d’Or has introduced the Sneaker Care Range which has been developed in cooperation with prestigious luxury brands with the same unparalleled standards as all other Médaille d’Or Products.
I get a lot of requests asking which brown people should use but it really comes down to what kind of effect you want to achieve with your shoes. This post will show you the different browns available and their tones.
I use a couple of layers of mirror gloss on top of the standard black Saphir. It adds a beautiful shine to areas of the shoe which do not crease (toes and heel). Application requires a hot cloth and quite a bit of hot water, but it’s well worth it. People regularly notice and comment on the shine of my boots. 👍
Great product! Better than the previous product I used (1909 colonil Creme de Luxe) in keeping my shell cordovan boots hydrated. It does only impart a low to medium shine, so I would recommend a separate polish product if you wanted a high shine. I'll be exploring other products from Saphir.
Used this on my RM's along with an heap of other Saphir product and it did a wonderful job including an ancient pair of site boots which I was on the verge of chucking out but restored to a satisfactory (not perfect) standard.
If you only one to buy one product this is the one. 75ml goes a long way lasts me years. Don't cheap out Saphir all the way. Boot black service was great as always
I use the pate de luxe polish after the mirror gloss; because of its high solvent content. It melts or thins out the mirror gloss for a flatter glassier surface. Just a small small dab on a lightly dampened cloth and rubbed in over the top of the mirror gloss makes the shine pop so much better than straight mirror gloss. These two products combined achieve a brilliant shine with minimal effort.
