Shoe Polish and Leather Care Blog

Here are some of the top social media posts using Pure Polish Products from the week of June 15-21, 2020.

 

Polishing grain leather is not an easy thing. Caring for the leather care be quite straight forward – keep it conditioned with Conditioner, protected with Cream, and add some scuff protection on the toes and heels with Paste/Wax Polish. But, getting that magic mirror shine or even a nice quality high shine, can sometimes be elusive.

Grain leather has more texture, it's grainy (by definition), and rubbing stiff waxes across grain can be challenging.

Below are some recent nature shots of Allen Edmonds Walnut Weybridge, polished to a mirror and given a warm glow. These are well-used shoes, not out of the box. They're just given proper care with our products.

We are lucky that each day our customers, friends, and fans tag us in social media posts, send us reviews, images, upload videos, and write blog posts about Pure Polish.

Here are a few of this week's community favorites.

There is a beautiful collection of high shines, mirror shines, and versatile "soft shines", using a collection of our products.

Before and After examples of some beautiful leather shoes, including Crockett & Jones Derbies, Navyboot Oxfords, Allen Edmonds Strands with a custom patina, and Vintage Florsheim Imperial Wingtips.

This morning, before I stepped outside on this brisk and blustery Winter day here in Bend, I conditioned my Allen Edmonds Weybridge Walnut Calfskin Oxfords. Bend has a very dry desert climate, so it dries out leather super-quickly. This is why it's super important to keep it conditioned, so that it doesn't crack. 

The trick for getting the most from your Cleaner Conditioner is to apply it with your fingertips. Then you aren't leveraging the cleaning oils as much as the conditioning oils.

I decided to pair my Allen Edmonds Margate Derbies with some Raleigh Denim Workshop Raw Denim jeans, and Nautica socks with a little orange highlight (it's Fall, after all).

Used: Walnut Cream Polish, High Shine Paste/Wax.

Check out these gorgeous "museum calf" custom green patina Allen Edmonds Dalton boots. These were given their patina by shoe artist Michael Baldinger. Final mirror shine was completed using our High Shine Paste/Wax.
