Hi guys
Hunting for just this – I am based in Brisbane, Australia. Would it be possible to send you a few pictures of the various pairs of shoes I have to confirm the most appropriate polish colours to include as part of the Voyage box?
Regards,
Brett

Hi Guys,
I am very interested in ordering. I have a pair of Edward Green Warwick chukka’s in Dark Oak. Whats the corresponding Saphir color? And do you recommend using a blend of wax polish and creme? Or one over the other? Thanks!
August 6th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Hi Eric,
Dark oak should take dark brown #05 wax. No need to use both wax and cream IMHO, although some people use wax on the toes and cream on the rest.
I use the Rénovateur first to clean and condition then the wax. Please email me if you would like it order anything.
Thanks you,
Steven

Steven,
I have tried numerous amounts of polish/conditioner combinations and the options are very overwhemling. I use Obanauf’s Leather Oil to condition my shoes, however it doesn’t lend to a good shine although they are supple… What is the difference between a neutral cream polish and a conditioner? Can a cream polish just be used in place of the conditioner? Thanks for the help.

Hi When do you expect to have the neutral color cremes in stock again? I have a series of shoes that I think a neutral creme would be best for. Thanks!

Great! But I am travelling and won’t be back in NYC until Dec 22. Can I place an order online or do I have to risk missing out again and swing by the shop? Thank you!

Quick question. I’ve got about 20 pair of shoes some leather some shell. What would be a good start in terms of their product? Creams? Paste neutral only??? Any help would be appreciated.

James,
Renovateur is a must, it’s great on shell and calf. Wax on shell and either or on calf it’s whatever suits you. I use wax mostly some people use both. You should have black, an assortment of browns and a burgundy, neutral is optional. Give me a call if you’d like to discuss.
