I know you may be looking at this product and wondering if it is worth the price, and I would recommend you stop looking and start buying. This product is exceptionally effective.
I’ve had these Ecco leather boots for nearly 10 years now. They’re my favorite boots, and as you can see they’ve been some places. During that 10 years I’ve never once conditioned or polished them. I would just wipe them down when they’d get dirty. You can see in the first two photos how the leather was worn and turning a greenish blue. So I ordered this black Saphir Crème 1925 cream polish, along with the Saphir Renovateur conditioner.
I first removed the dirt from the boots with a brush that you’d use for dishes, and then applied the conditioner to the boots with an old but clean rag. I allowed it to soak into the leather and dry for a couple of days, while I was waiting for the polish to arrive. In the meantime I got lucky and found a Kiwi brand horsehair brush at my local Goodwill for $2.99.
When the polish arrived, I removed the laces, put on a vinyl glove and grabbed the Kiwi brush, along with a scrap piece of soft cotton tee which is what I use at work to buff and polish freshly installed tile. I wrapped the scrap cotton cloth around my finger, dipped it into the jar of polish, and applied the polish to the boots one small area at a time. Immediately the leather was brought back to life, and I really couldn’t believe how much better it looked it at that point. You could stop there, and be perfectly happy if you prefer a matte finish to your footwear. I really wanted these suckers to shine personally, so after waiting a bit for the polish to dry, I performed the final step in this process and went over them with the Kiwi brush in swift, short strokes.
My 10 year old boots now look absolutely beautiful. They still have some scratches that are visible, along with definitive creases in the toe area, but the older guys tell me that’s called character. I wouldn’t call the end result a mirror finish either, but these boots are more for walking and hiking than dancing, so I’m very happy with how they turned out. Merci beaucoup Saphir, votre produit c’est top!

This cream/wax is really nice. A thin coats and your smooth leather boots/shoes can have a mirror shine. Here’s what I did to my Classic Black Thursday Captains.
1) brush your boots/shoes with a horse haired brush to get bigger pieces of dirt off.
2) clean off the boots with a wet rag to remove all loose dust and dirt.
3) apply a tiny amount of the colored wax onto the vamp and then quarter panel until you get a nice even haze.
4) once you get the entire shoe/boots covered wait about 10 minutes to let the wax soak into the leather.
5) brush and buff the shoe/boot to a mirror shine with a horse haired brush.
6) if you’re happy with the shine then stop. If you want a mirror shine get some water on a lint free rag and then buff the shoe/boots one panel at a time.
7) buff again with horse haired brush and you’ll have achieved a mirror shine.
8) check to see if you can see your own face or not. Lol.
This colored wax is really nice to use on a black pair of boots after you condition your boots. I used the Cobblers Choice leather conditioner before applying the wax. I would put the conditioner on the boot first and give about 12hrs for the conditioner to soak into the leather. Then the next day, buff to a shine, and apply the Saphir product a quarter panel at a time and follow the aforementioned steps.
I would try to use a soft cloth or a brush to apply the wax as it will stain your hands. You can also use gloves and apply the wax on with your fingers too but I used a brush to distribute the wax evenly and then buff to a mirror shine. It worked out perfectly imo.

So I bought the dark brown to use on my Grant Stone Ottawa boots in crimson cxl because I have been in the hospital with my 7yo and while here at the hospital I accidentally opened a door on my brand new boots. I was not paying attention as I was half sleep half awake. The door ended up putting a huge gouge on the toe of my boots. I contacted GS immediately and they advised me to get a pigmented cream and cover up the gouge with it. I thought about taking it to a cobbler but I don’t have the time and honestly, I don’t mind a few scratches on my boots. I think it builds character.
I used up using a q tip because the gouge was small enough that I didn’t need to use anything more to cover up the gouge. The color matched perfectly and if I wasn’t already aware of the gouge I don’t think the average Joe can see it. I am happy with the results although I should take it to a cobbler for them to blend it in but I just don’t have the time right now. Thanks in advance!

Bought some beige cream to pair with my Dune Cxl Diesel boots from Grant Stone. As you can tell they were the perfect match although I had to do a lot of brushing to get the color to even out. At first it was very dull but after about 30 minutes of continuous brushing the part that I put the cream to polished nicely and now they make the boots look as if they were natural shell cordovan when it was only cxl. I like the results though.

Love the product, a little goes a long way. I’m not a professional cobbler, however I wear my these boots anywhere from casual to the harshest terrains. It does an amazing job refreshing the patina of the leather and visibly diminishes some of the damages. Great product, can’t wait to learn more about leather care to see what other Saphir products can help me maintain the quality of my leather boots!
