I've been using Kiwi polish for years on leather shoes and boots and have always had good results with it. The polish does a good job restoring areas where the shoe color has been scuffed or partially worn away like the toes, sides and above the heals. It's a soft paste that goes on smoothly and the color penetrates nicely into leather, then buffs off easily to leave a deep shine. A little goes a long way so even with frequent use this 2.5-oz tin will last me for quite a while.
