if you're buying kiwi to shine your shoes, you obviously don't care that much about your shoes. this is the creme that all GOOD and fancy shoe cleaners and leather cleaners use. it's a little pricier on amazon than in the store but its also hard to find. i got my item quickly and had no complaints with shipping. you will notice a 100% difference when you use this polish over other ones. A great tip that my grandfather taught me was to ALWAYS polish your shoes before the first wear. This will give it protective coating over the brand new leather and forever make them easier to clean and polish.
