Smooth Leather
New shoe care guide
Before you begin

It is important to shine new shoes before wearing them.

Remove the laces

Remove laces and insert suitable wooden SHOE TREES in your shoes

Brush the leather

First remove any surface dirt or dust, using a HORSE HAIR brush with Sipo wood handle.
Gently rub the leather, paying particular attention to the folds and welt areas of the sole.

Prepare the leather

How should RENOVATEUR CREME or the LOTION be used?
These should be applied with the Saphir COTTON CHAMOIS CLOTH by gently massaging the leather in small circular movements.

Why should one of these two creams be used?
To gently clean, hydrate and nourish the leather in order to prepare the skin to receive the polish. Those two creams will enable the pores of the leather to be dilated in order to increase penetration of the CREME 1925.

Shoe care (the most important part)

Apply CREME 1925, specially formulated to enhance and give a long life to your shoes using the SPREADING BRUSH. Carefully dip the tip of the brush in CREME 1925.

How should CREME 1925 be applied?
Start by applying the cream to the sides of the shoes (on the welt seams to maximise the seal) using a back-and-forth motion, pressing lightly and paying particular attention to the folds. Leave to dry for a few minutes. Apply CREME 1925 between the edge of shoes and the sole. Use the SPREADING BRUSH to assist.

Why use CREME 1925?
This exclusive formulation will clean, nourish, recolour, shine and protect.

Polishing

Brush with a POLISHING BRUSH made of a Sipo wood and natural silk hair. It will enhance the natural wax shine from the CREME 1925. Use a black hair polishing brush for black shoes.

The final touch

Buff the leather with a COTTON CHAMOIS CLOTH to enhance the shine and remove any excess cream.

Dont' forget
Shine your new shoes with SAPHIR CREME 1925 before wearing them in order to nourish and protect them from water.

Do you need to use SUPER INVULNER?
Except for cases of extreme weather, the waterproofer is not necessary as the high concentration of natural waxes already protects the leather.
