I decided to purchase this item  after extensive research on what to use for my walnut colored Allen edmonds Strand Cap-toe Oxfords. I got the second so these had slight blemish on the toe area. My expectations from the products were :-
- Have a good shine. I wasn't looking for mirror shine since I discovered for that I would have to use additional product like Lincoln wax.
- Take care of blemish. I was over-expecting her since this would as well need another shoe cream with pigment that matched the walnut finish.
- Can be applied on the sole leather. As with my other expectation most of the forums suggest you to go with the allen edmonds Heel and sole edge dressing.
- My shoes should not get any darker in shade.

Some of my observations after using the product:-
- My shoes did not get any darker in color shade which meets my expectation completely.
- Blemish still exists but other people have stated I must use this over time and it would lead of reduction in these.
- For shine I was able to  achieve satisfactory shine by using a white old cotton rag and using the spit and rub technique. There is youtube video on the same.
- I was able to use the same polish on the sole leather as well.
