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 Brett
Send away we can find the best colors for you however the voyage box has 4 preselected colors that will cover most shoes, black, dark brown, medium brown, and mid brown.

I’ve been using Kiwi and AE polishes, I keep meaning to try Saphir one day.
Speedmaster,
There’s no “time” like the present, pun intend. It’s great stuff.

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!
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!
Mark
Delivery is imminent, we will post an announcement as soon as the order arrives.
Steven
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!
Yes please contact us directly by email our phone to place an order.
Steven
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.
Steven
Best color for EG Dover in Dark Oak Antique? I prefer wax if that matters.
Thanks,
Bill
Bill
best color for dark oak is the dark brown wax. Which we have in stock.

Hi,
Where i come from it is not easy to even find a decent brand of shoe creams/polish
it is possible to place an order of saphir for delivery to Singapore? Is so, would it be possible to estimate the shipping charges ($xx for box of 6 etc.)
Will the Rénovateur conditioner be restocked any time soon?
We have an order in for more Renovateur and hope to receive it this month.

Hi, I’m based in Sydney Australia and have a pair of Oroton silver/gold ballet flats and I cannot find a matching shoe polish for them…can you help? The silvers are too grey and the gold are too yellow.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hello,
I was just introduced to Saphir and your blog and I love them both!
I’ve a pair of AE Evanston’s in Walnut also a pair of John Lobb’s in Walnut. What color creame or wax do you recommend?
Cheers
Hi,
Saphir has a range of products in their Medaille d’Or line wich is intended for cordovan leathers. It is however not a wax but a cream (Cream Shoe Polish Cordovan Medaille d’Or).
What would be your opinion on this? Supposed to be specially made for cordovan leathers, but I understand that you guys recommend wax.
Regards,
Roland
I have a shoe shine stand and I give my customers the best, is there a good starting point to use saphir?
