Been buying this for 6 years. It goes a long way as you do not need to use very much. My husband is a cook and his shoes get nasty. This balsam stuff makes them look like new and I think it makes his shoes last longer too.

Wow! I just received this in the mail and I immediately put in on my shoes that I ordered two weeks ago. This product makes my shoes look out of the box brand new! I can't say enough about this product, except it comes in a sort of small package, but you don't need much to get an amazing result! And with Zappos.com it's reasonably priced with free shipping! I think this product will last me a long time, but I think I might just have to order more!

Wonder Balsam is amazing! It goes on easily with the enclosed applicator and makes all my shoes look great. I was also able to make an old Coach bag look new again by applying this polish to it.

This is a great product. I bought a pair of Red Wings, Brown/Red, I got them scuffed up a lot the first two weeks I had them. I got this product, and they looked like new again. This works perfect on these boots. Thanks, Zappos for the great products you have.

Wonder balsam, indeed! I've used it on everything from my Hobo International bag to some cheap leather ballet flats I got at a discount outlet. It works like magic! It did change the color of my leather bag a bit. Not a substantial change, but just made the cognac color a bit richer and deeper. It also revitalized and rehabbed my cheap leather ballet flats! Scuffs practically disappeared, and they look like new! I'll be buying another one of these as soon as mine runs out.

Additional Brand Information

One of the most respected and well-know icons in the world, Dr. Martens' boots, shoes, work shoes, and sandals continue to set the standard for durability, comfort and fashion. Dr. Martens's trademark look and quality construction has been recognized world-wide since 1960.

Where the classic 1460 style was being used by mailmen, union workers, and factory workers, it soon became popular among the masses. The 1460 continues to thrive, symbolizing individualism, originality, and taps into a individual's unique style who's willing to make that bold statement.

Dr. Martens doesn't think of itself as a "shoe" brand, but rather a way of thinking, a self-expression if you must. Popularly known as Doc Martens, they allow you to feel free to rock your grunge shorts, spike up your hair to the heavens, showoff your body art, whatever floats your boat. So whether you call them Dr. Martens, Doc Martens or just Docs there are no limits to your creativity.

I have a pair of Doc Martens that are only a few months old, but have been through the wringer, what with having hot soup and dirty mop water/sanitizing solution spilled over them almost every day. They'd gotten grossly discolored and were starting to look nasty, so I shelled out for a tub of this basalm, and Wow. In seconds my shoes looked brand new. I honestly don't recognize them! Usually I'm wary of things with superlatives like "Wonder" in their name, but this time, it's definitely warranted.

Amazing product! I used it on a pair of leather boots and a leather jacket, which both look new now! Which is impressive since the jacket is from the \'70s!

This is wonderful stuff to keep your shoes looking like new. It gets rid of a lot of those bothersome wrinkles and creases that shoes develop over time. Great product!

Bought this product for my daughter's tall riding boot! Perfect for cleaning them, leaves them beautifully clean and does not leave black polish marks on her saddle pad her horse! Also worked well for her western boots, a lot easier to use than polish too!

Good Stuff - Does alright on waxing up your shoes and scuffs, but if you really want to waterproof your shoes - leather or suede - this stuff is great and safe and works in one application. Also, lexol products are ph balanced and safe for leathers for cleaning and conditioning, great on horse tack also . Both products I do tack cleaning and have learned a lot on cleaning, conditioning, and treating leather and suede.

Wonder Balsam - This is a great product. I use it about once every 6 months to cover scratches on my shoes. It works great on all types and brands of shoes and doesn’t change the color of the leather.

Wonder Balsam - Docs look beautiful after applying the wonder balsam, however, it seems like I have to reapply it every time I wear my Docs.

This stuff is awesome - After reading the tons of great reviews on this stuff, I decided to give it a try. My Doc Martens 8053's are about 3½ years old and had a good amount of scratches on the toe area. As usual, I got the balsam within one day (ordered Tuesday afternoon, had the stuff Wednesday when I got home from work). I slapped some of this balsam on my shoes and they're good as new now. This stuff kinda looks like Vaseline.

Awesome - This stuff, simply put, is awesome. They will make your worn boots look like new again. I used some on my Clark Escalades that I’ve worn for a few months without doing any maintenance on. The end result was them looking like new again. This really is a wonder balsam. Must Buy!

Dr. Marten Wonder Shoe Balsam - Easy to apply and works great on Dr. Marten shoes. I use my fingers to work it into the leather and use a soft cloth to remove the excess. I would wait a day or 2 before wearing the shoes after the treatment so the balsam doesn’t stain your jeans or pants.

This balm is the bomb - This little container is a money saver - I keep it in my desk at work and whenever my shoes are looking dull, if rub a little balsam on it and they look like I just had them polished. No need to pay for a shoe shine with this stuff.

Pretty Amazing - As per the review by others this balsam works pretty good on shoes, at least in my case, that are not looking all that good. It brings out a wonderful shine to the shoes and tends to hide, to some extent, the scrapes and other minor damages to the shoe.
