Saphir Médaille d'Or Pâte de Luxe is a blend of several waxes: beeswax combined with plant and mineral waxes. That mix is the reason it can do two jobs. It builds shine and a protective layer on smooth leather, and it is still soft enough to spread easily over the whole shoe. Our usual approach is a very small amount on a cotton cloth, thin even layers, a few minutes to settle, then buff. More wax never means more shine. A tip people often forget: run a little along the sole edges in the matching colour. It covers scuffs and protects the edge from moisture.

The best moment to put shoe trees in is right after you take your shoes off. The leather is still warm and flexible, and it has just absorbed a full day of moisture from your feet. Untreated cedar draws that moisture out of the lining and leather, while the tree gently stretches out the creases that formed across the vamp during the day. Wait until the next morning and the leather has already dried in its creased shape. It is one of the simplest habits in shoe care, and it makes a real difference to how a pair ages.

The heel counter is the stiff part at the back of your shoe that holds your heel in place. Push your foot in without a shoehorn and you slowly crush it, and once it has folded over a few times it never quite springs back. A shoehorn lets your heel slide in without any pressure on the leather, and it takes about two seconds. We like horn for this because it is naturally smooth, glides easily over socks and leather, and a good one will last a lifetime. A longer model means you don't even have to bend down, which is a small daily luxury worth having.

A good shine starts with how you hold the cloth. Wrap a cotton cloth tightly around two fingers so the fabric is smooth and taut over your fingertips, with no loose folds. That gives you control and lets you work in small circles, putting a thin, even layer of cream or wax exactly where you want it. Take only a tiny amount of product at a time: you can always add another layer, but too much at once just sits on top and turns cloudy. Once the cloth gets saturated, move to a clean part of it.

After summer, we notice the same thing every year: people start paying a little more attention to their shoes again.

A lot of our customers enjoy looking after their shoes themselves, but we’re also seeing more and more people come in who are happy to leave the polishing to us. Since moving to our new spot by Sarphatipark, our shoe shine service has really started to find its audience.

And we quite like that. It means part of our week is spent away from screens, simply working with our hands. A very welcome change when so much of the rest of the day is digital.

Fancy stopping by our Shoe Shine Bar & Shop sometime? Whether it’s for a professional shoe shine, shoe care products or just some good advice, you’re always welcome.
Shoe cream will almost never match your shoes exactly, and that is fine. Only a small part of the pigment stays on the leather with each application, so colour builds up gradually. When you are torn between two shades, go for the slightly darker one: it hides scratches better and brings back faded areas more convincingly. This jar is 910 Parisian brown, one of our favourites for dark brown shoes. It sits between 34 Tobacco and 05 Dark brown, with a slightly cooler, almost grey tone. For regular maintenance, alternating a neutral cream with a matching colour keeps things balanced.

A shoehorn's job is simple: keep your heel from crushing down the back of the shoe every time you put it on, which over time breaks down the heel counter and shortens a shoe's life. Length is really a question of how you'll use it. A short one is easy to carry in a bag or a coat pocket for travel, but you still have to bend down. A long one like this abbeyhorn, made from genuine horn rather than plastic, lets you put your shoes on standing up, no bending required, which is honestly the more common way people actually damage the back of a shoe by skipping the shoehorn altogether. If you put shoes on standing at a hallway bench, this is the length to go for.

The step people skip most often is cleaning, and it is the one that makes everything after it work better. Every layer of cream and wax also traps a bit of dust and dirt, and over time that builds up into a dull film. Before you polish, brush off loose dust and go over the leather with Saphir MĂ©daille d'Or Lotion on a soft cloth. It gently cleans the surface and conditions the leather at the same time, so the cream you apply next can actually reach it. Clean, cream, brush: ten minutes, and your shoes look cared for again.

Saphir Médaille d'Or Mirror Gloss is a combination of hard waxes, firmer than the Pâte de Luxe most people know. That firmness is exactly what you want for a mirror shine: it fills the grain of the leather quickly and gives you a smooth, hard base to polish up. The trick that makes the difference is water. Put one or two small drops on the toe cap before buffing, then rub quickly with light pressure. The water helps spread the heat and the wax evenly, and layer by layer the surface turns glassy. On average it takes six or seven thin layers, so take your time.

We keep both light and dark bristle brushes in the workshop, and it's not just for looks. A brush with dark, natural bristles will gradually pick up pigment from black and dark brown polish, and that pigment can transfer onto lighter leather the next time you use the same brush. For anything tan, cognac or lighter, we always reach for a light-bristled brush like this Redecker one instead, keeping it exclusively for lighter shoes. It sounds like a small thing, but a stray smudge of dark polish on a pair of light brown shoes is a frustrating way to undo an otherwise good polishing session. If you only own one brush and wear a mix of light and dark shoes, this is worth thinking about.
