OMG. So I haven't used this stuff a whole lot for my Dr Martens boots (which I don't wear all that often), but today I dug out this kit and used the Wonder Balsam on an old pair of cheapo oxfords that have been through 3 years of rain, snow, salt, dirt, beer, concerts and terrible dates - and this is the result. My shoes look brand new and of a much higher price tag. I'm shocked and impressed and so glad I didn't order a new pair of shoes instead!
