Cream Shoe Polish, Boot Polish, Leather Shoe Polish Oil Based with Beeswax, Restores and Protects, Over 60 Colors

This is my first time with any 'leather cream' product, but I felt that on my next pair of leather work boots, it would be a good idea. So I did my best to research several products, and I wanted a colored product, so I picked this Meltonian Cream Shoe Polish with Natural Wax & Oils, Brown Shoe Polish (Brick color) for Leather, which has a long history.I am attaching some pictures to this review. I bought another new pair of leather works boots recently, which were marked down in price, due to being a bit scuffed up. No big deal I thought, as they were going to shortly be living a pretty rough life anyway. Then it snowed, before I wore them out and to work for the first time. So I decided that since shoes and boot have now gotten extremely high priced recently, compared to years past. I not only wanted to add some extra longevity to them, but also some added waterproofing because of the recent snowfall.I have read through many of the reviews on this product here on Amazon, and I do see that some people misunderstand the prime purpose of this type of product. This Meltonian Cream Shoe Polish with Natural Wax & Oils, is a great all around product, not simply a 'polish' for shine. It provides some leather conditioners, which keep the leather a bit softer and flexible, along with some oils for additional water resistance, along with a bit of wax for polish and some water resistance. So it's not like a Kiwi wax product, which does nothing for conditioning, and is strictly a polish and water resistance overlay. This product soaks into leather, not simply lay on top of it.The boots in the pictures I am attaching are still new and unworn. After I applied this product to the boots, I let them sit for a day. Then gave them a good buffing, and then added an additional layer of a waxy Kiwi boot polish like product. So now I have the colored conditioner underneath, and a bit of a brown wax shell on top.I was also amazed with how far just a little bit of this product went. These new boots were a bit thirsty, and are big. These are size 11 double-wide steel toed leather work boots. As you can see in one of the pictures I am attaching. After giving them both (in the end) a good brushed in coating of this product. I only ended up using about 15% of the jar. Now that's fantastic!Only in one of the pictures I am including, have both boots been conditioned. You will notice that one boot is slightly darker than the other. That is because the lighter boot had been conditioned for about an hour already, by the time I had a chance to finish the second boot. So it had more soak-in time, and lightened up some. The darker boot, was only moments after being finished.None of the pictures show the boots after having been brushed-off, after the application.Four of the 'two boot' pictures, are of one boot coated, and one not.One picture shows how much of the Meltonian Cream is left over, after having done both boots.One picture shows both boots done, and again, one is darker due to it having just been finished getting its application.As for the ''strong smell' that some reviews have mentioned. I had zero issues with with that. I did do them in the two car garage with the doors closed. Now maybe I am less susceptible to the odor, due to much of the time being in a blue collar shop environment?I know that I will be returning to use this product again. It really is fantastic stuff!

I bought this shoe polish to rejuvenate some white sneakers that had seen better days. It's like the consistency of a skin cream, very moisturizing, soaks right into the leather. I like that you can either let it dry matte or buff it to a nice shine. The cream is highly pigmented, and color is buildable with multiple layers. Plus the service from Meltonian was amazing after USPS lost the package! The only caveat is the mild petroleum-like smell. Use in a well ventilated room and shouldn't be an issue. All told, a far superior product to the waxy tins i've used in the past.

I'm impressed with this cream style shoe polish. Once applied, it requires a few minutes drying time before buffing. If the finish is buffed before the product dries, it will fade as it dries. Once dry and buffed, the shine is exceptionably durable. I work in an environment where mild scuffing is the norm however a quick buffing with a shoe brush and the shine returns almost to its original luster. I like the fact that I can get away with polishing every other day with just a quick buffing in between. Note also, the inevitable staining of your hands is easily removed using mild scrubbing with soap and water.

I love this shoe polish. I used it for my personal items and also to revive vintage pieces I sell. It's great quality and value for money. My only complaint is the color chart. There should be a description for each color as well as pictures of items with before/after polishing for each color. As for the brown color family, they should have published comparison pics. If you only sell one item, you would think the company would put enough info online and care about the customers getting the right color the first time. They apparently sell samples for each color on their own website, but as many have stated, it's not enough to see how a whole piece would look like and you still have to order 5 samples to figure out which one would work out (adding up to the cost of one whole polish pot). I'm now about to order my third "brown" color and hopefully it will be a match this time.

Goes on easy a great shine makes my boots look new again

I used the Lemon shade of polish to change the color of my very white sneakers. I used a small sponge applicator. The polish went on smoothly. It's pale yellow after 1 application. I'm not looking for sunshine yellow, just something to kill the blindingly white of the sneakers. This did the trick. I had also ordered Light Bone, thinking maybe that would be a better choice but tried the Lemon first and was satisfied. Amazon didn't want The Light Bone polish back, but they did refund my money.

Great product. Really refurbished my leather.

I bought a pair of Leather shoes that scuff and wear quickly. They were expesive and I wanted the to last. I found that the Beige color not only restored and brought the shoes back to look new. Not only are they new looking but they seem protected from the elements and wear better. This product is very effective in restoration and protection of leather. This is a very good product and value.
