shoe polish

[honeycutt]

All my life I have used Kiwi polish. What polish is the best or the one you recommend.

Saphir

I used Kiwi for years and recently ditched it. I use Angelus stain wax and Meltonian shoe creams exclusively now.

I myself really like the Saphir brand. I may be a bit more expensive than kiwi, but I believe it to be a far superior product.

Lincoln.

I have Saphir and Loake cream polishes, and mostly use the Loake.

The Saphir cream seems to be absorbed more quickly into the leather, but the Loake gives a better shine - not as glossy as a wax polish, but really not bad at all.

I'll use wax polish a bit more during the winter for a bit of extra protection against the weather, but I'm still on Kiwi and Cherry Blossom for that.

If the maker supplies a polish with the shoes - which is a nice touch - I'll use that. Otherwise, Saphir.

I have only used Saphir and a "natural" polish. Saphir wins.

As others have said, Saphir is a solid choice for all their offered products.

Generally goes: Kiwi->Lincoln/Melatnonin->Saphir for what's available in the US. The UK has another brand or two that look good but I'm a yankee so who knows.
