Seems that my photo isn't too clear so here is a better one taken under the daylight.

I have tried to wax over it over and over again but the patches are still there. :s11:

Also, it seems that after i compare it to my original Rad, this side of the shoe that was cleaned with Saphir Reno-Mat, conditioned with Saphir Renovateur and subsequent Saphir Pate De Luxe wax has larger pores

DO NOT wax over it. You'll just be cementing the damage in. Looks like dirt to me.

High time for a refurbishment.
i)strip the wax
ii)Clean with damp cloth
iii)Apply your favourite elixir of life, I use renovateur but mink oil is good as well.
iv)Cream polish to restore colour
v) 1 or 2 thin layers of starwax.

Good as new

you can try Les Travaux Polishing Creme, it will remove the stain and polish at the same time, like bring back to its original state. Also will remove excess wax that you have been applying.

Where can it be purchased? Do PM me if convenient. I can't locate it on your website and Tuckshop only sells the starter kit with a lot of frills that I don't need. Will be good to have an alternative to Saphir, especially if it means I can support a local brand.

Looking for shoe trees

Hi guys, sorry to piggyback on this thread. I posted my own thread but nobody replied.

I am looking for pairs of cedar shoe trees. Gonna need them for my products for GSS season, so need good quality ones. Briefly, they have to be:

1) Raw cedarwood (no lotus/birch/ polished wood/coloured wood)
2) Twin tube and split toe
3) Preferably with some golden brand plate or knobs etc to enhance the look of my products.
4) Prefer to be able to try them before buying, so that I know they fit my product sizes.

Preferably below $50/pc with bulk order about 20pcs

I'd say invest in a good pair of handcrafted full-grain leather shoes. You feet and wallet will thank you for it when they are still around after 10 years of wear and have molded to your foot shape
