Anyone buy Saphir from here before?

Saphir Crème cuirs Gras I bought is water base rather than oil base.. is that normal?

Just came across this and would like to clarify - oils used in shoe care products are refined differently to be absorbed into the leather. Hence, it wouldn't feel like the normal cooking oil or motor oil that feels greasy and can't penetrate the leather. Saphir sole guard is made 100% vegetable oil, if it is like the cooking vegetable oil we know many would have slipped, fell down and sued Saphir.

The shoe cream works very well on my Chromexcel

So sad. I checked with shoemo over on social media.

They claimed they understand and able to help me but from my conversation with them, I don't think they know even what is Goodyear welted shoes or boots

patch rubber outsole on it if no one can do
I think some handbags repairs shop do it.. some people send Chanel handbags or shoes to repair.. can try ask

most cobbler or factory here don't bother to do.. because they say GYW cost is too high as need to invest GYW machines
probably higher chance if to find those GYW by hand cobblers.. but that's not going to be cheap

Just bought a pair of Barker Leybourne Semi Brogue in conker brown colour. Tested about 7-8 pairs of GYW shoes ranging from Loake, Cheaney & Barker. Finally settled down with this Barker due to it cost RM1.2k and come with Daniete sole which is suitable for my working environment (cold & wet). The staff & boss is very helpful  and patient.

If it was corrected grain, conditioners and creams would be useless and won't be able to mirror shine as well (I've tried lol).

hey guys I am thinking to get this pair of shoe. The color from maker is mahogany, but I wonder what would be a suitable color of Saphir wax for this? Should I go with mahogany as well or something like cognac?

Hi guys need help
this new boots I worn for few days found some marking on leather
don't recall have any oil or tar spilled

Horween Chromexcel leather

1st pic = cleaned with saddle soap (wet)
2nd pic = cleaned with saddle soap (dried)
3rd pic = original color

as I use my boots carefully and only use Saphir shoe cream for condition
shouldn't leave any blemish on the leather

How can I remove the blemish?
have a bit OCD when found imperfection

Appreciate any advice.. thanks
