Hi Shoe experts, my feet are rather small.. approximately UK5.5 to UK6 dependent on cutting.. For mid range, only seems like Herring/loakes and locally Ed Et Al are available(need to pre-order, long waiting time)

Anyone know if there are any brands locally that caters to smaller feet? Hopefully design is tasteful too.

Thanks :)

Saphir Renovateur is just a moisturiser / conditioner. It provides nourishment to the leather. Since it does contain some solvents, it can and will remove a bit of polish.

However, if you want to clean / strip built up layers of polish, you need to use Saphir Renomat.

Just depends how you want to handle your shoe care routine. For me, I use Renovateur & Cream, occasionally will use wax as well (depending on mood).

Cream contains pigments for your leather, but does not do as well as Renovateur for nourishment.



You never know how long that pair of new shoes has been sitting on the shelf. A treatment of Reno wouldn't hurt.

They have brown also. The ambassador series can only be found in those big malls/town area, I believe. Went to those heartland areas/malls no sight of the series.

Yea, Pedro and Aldo gonna suffer badly if they don't up their game.

I was at plaza sing, went to Rad Russel, Pedro and Aldo, nothing caught my eye. Instead, I went to Bata to take a look, and saw that nice looking derby. :s13:

I have a pair of burgundy coloured shoes but 55 don't carry no. 9 mahogany shade for their saphir cream. anyone can help me with this?

If no choice use neutral cream or leather lotion.

Apply very sparingly in small amounts, spread evenly. If you lub one big amount at a particular area will darken the leather before you spread it out with a cloth or brush
