How To Clean and Polish Leather Shoes

Choosing a Shoe Polish

1.Pick out a wax polish to add a beautiful shine to your shoes. Wax shoe polishes are a good choice if you want the traditional shine covering your shoes. They do a good job of protecting the leather while also helping to cover any scuffs you might have on your shoes.

Wax polish is safe to use on faux leather as well.

 

2.Opt for a cream polish to add needed moisture back into your shoes. Cream polishes won’t give you the same shine as a wax polish, but they’re great for moisturizing the leather. If you’re more worried about your brown shoes’ durability and are fine with a simple shine, a cream polish is a good option.[2]

Both wax and cream polishes come in many different shades.

 

3.Use a neutral polish to make your shoes shine without adding color. Brown shoes can be tricky to match to a specific color of polish, making a neutral polish a popular choice. A neutral polish is untinted, comes in both wax and cream forms, and will shine your shoes beautifully while letting the natural color peek through.

If you’re worried about picking the wrong polish color for your brown shoes, choose a neutral one.

 

4.Match your shoes to a brown shoe polish to add a tint of color. Shoe polish comes in many different shades, so it’s likely that there’s a polish just right for your specific shade of brown shoe. Bring your shoe into the store to match it to a shade of polish, if possible, to ensure the match is as perfect as possible.

If you’re between two colors and aren’t sure which one matches the best, opt for the darker shade.
