Great product -
Really makes shoes look new! Has prevented salt stains and, I am sure, other weather damage, and adds more shine than most polishes (which this product isn't, exactly). I will definitely buy more when I run out.

It worked ok, but my Frye boots are still cracked. It seemed to brighten up and clean up my other worn in leather shoes. But the new Frye's that are dried out still seem to be stiff and dried out.

Great Balsam -
So I had these fabulous riding boots that I mistaken wore on a snowy day in NYC and the salt and moisture seeped in and I didn't even bother to wipe them off when I got home. Needless to say they looked horrible and this balsam make it all better. It’s great!

Love this stuff, it is a must.
I have been out of this for a while and my shoes were getting dry and cracky. I smeared it on and they are looking better already. This stuff is a must for care and prevention of your leather shoes.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Dr. Martens, or Havanna Joes (worth every penny).

Great stuff!
This stuff, when rubbed well into your shoes, helps keep those ugly white salt stains off the leather. It works great on suede, too, but you need to brush the suede after you smear it on. I've treated all my shoes and boots with stuff - well worth the small price!

Love Wonder Balsam -
My husband, daughter, son, and I all love this stuff! It really makes your leather shoes (and leather purses) come alive again. I have one at school and one in my closet to make my shoes look great. Love it on our Docs, but also on my Born shoes.

This is a good product. It softens the leather and it does remove scuff marks. It does not waterproof the shoe; you will still need to treat with a silicone based product. All in all I feel it is a good product and I will continue to use it to clean my shoes.

Makes things lok like new -
A few of my really scuffed-up shoes look like new now. I was a little alarmed when I polished my leather purse and some of the creases and water stains suddenly stood out more, but the next day they had all faded. I guess it can take some time to set properly. All of my shoes and my purse look great now.

This is a wonderfully easy product to use and really improves your shoes, even if they are brand new. It protects from rain or spills, and softens and shines, all in easy application steps. The sponge to apply is in the container, so there is no looking around for something to use. When you are ready just open the jar.
I advocate getting this for all your smooth leather shoes

Good stuff -
Overall good buy. It keeps the leather of my new boots looking nice and they have resisted salt/rain/snow. I applied this to a pair of older black boots and it actually made them wearable again… before the salt stains were way too noticeable, but afterwards, they almost disappeared.

This is a great product. Easy to use with great results. I applied to an old pair of shoes and they snapped right back. They looked great and repelled water/snow like they used.

Adds some shine to the shoes, but so would almost any leather conditioner. The bottom line is that Leather needs regular conditioning, and any decent leather conditioner will do. This is a bit too expensive in my opinion.

Works great, but must be used again and again -
I was really excited to get this balsam for my Dr. Martens, especially after reading all the positive reviews. We used it on all of our Dr. Martens (four pairs) and they looked like new!! But then after about a week, the scuffs and older looks have already come back. I would still recommend this, but be warned that it's not a one time fix.

My husband and I are chemically sensitive and were looking for a dye free, unscented product to use on our leather shoes to restore color, luster, and suppleness. This product fits the bill. We love it!

Amazing Product -
I purchased this for my new Clarks shoes, but my entire family has fallen in love with this product. It cleans, moisturizes, and polishes all leather products. The name Wonder Balsam does not do it justice. We have restored boots to their original shine and luster that we were ready to throw out. This is an amazing product!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PRODUCT!! I would highly recommend this product. If you need to "revive" a favorite shoe, this is the product to use & work the $$ spent on the product. I took b/4 & after pictures for my own use...it is amazing the difference. My husband's dress shoes had worn to the point they were in the bottom of the closet-forgotten. I applied the shoe balsam when he was at work-showed him his shoes when he came home--he didn't even recognize them!!! They look good as new & the inside of the shoe was not so well worn that he could not wear them. Now he has a second pair of casual/dress shoes if needed!

Saved my new boots!
A few days ago, I bought a pair of black leather Aerosoles boots from Zappos. They were the last pair in my size.
When they arrived, I was dismayed to realize that there was an odd greyish mark all down the front of the right boot. It looked almost like a salt stain, but did not come off when I rubbed it with a damp cloth, so it must have been some imperfection in the leather.
Knowing that I wouldn't be able to exchange the boots for another pair, I spied my fiancé’s tub of Wonder Balsam sitting on the desk. I'd never used it before, but figured "Well, it's worth a shot."
I'm so glad I tried it before returning the boots. A small amount of the wonder balsam made the grey mark disappear! Intrigued, I grabbed an old pair of knee-high black leather boots of mine that have a matte finish. The leather was pretty badly scratched and scuffed in some areas. I rubbed them down with the balsam, and behold! They looked as good as the day I bought them. No scuffs, no scratches, no marks to be seen!
Here I must confess that I went a big hog wild with the stuff. I was like a madwoman, buffing and polishing and balsaming every pair of leather shoes I own. I used it on black shoes, brown shoes, burgundy shoes...no color change at all, but the scuffs just disappeared. My shoes all look great, and while my hands did get a bit sticky, there was no residue left on the shoes. It all soaked in after a few minutes, leaving the leather soft and supple, but not gunky or sticky feeling. I walked through a rainy parking lot today, and while my shoes got soaked the leather still looks great.
I'd recommend this product to anyone! I got to keep my new boots, and my old ones all look fantastic!

Fabulous product -
I bought a tub of this about a year ago... everything leather in my house from couches to shoes to pocketbooks have been treated several times. It even restored an old beat up pair of favorite black shoes that had salt stains on them - it took several applications, but they look new. My couch also has benefited greatly and looks fantastic almost new. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing & Addictive -
I had a tub of this stuff about 8 years ago that I found at Nordstrom shoes. It was amazing, and I used it on all leather goods from shoes to jackets to handbags to belts...or anything I could find! It really does become addicting. It's like polishing your leather, without all the mess, and it actually conditions the leather to keep it lasting longer. A tub lasts a long time, and it's only now, years later that I was on a hunt for a new tub. I was so happy to find it on Zappos. When I got it in the mail, I immediately conditioned my handbag and impressed my coworkers as they saw a pair of worn out leather sandals made to look brand new again. It was almost like a live infomercial.

 |  | I just wanted to express my delight and satisfaction with the service I've received with your company. I am an executive for a gourmet chocolate company and having designed our internet order system and customer service department I can appreciate great service when I receive it. When I called to change my shipping address I was very quickly transferred without a maze of menu options and operators. The customer service rep got all the information she needed quickly and sent me on my way. Then I received the email notifying me my shipping had been upgraded and I would be receiving my order today. Not even 24 hours after placing my I have my jeans!!! I couldn't be more thrilled with you guys. I will definitely pass the word as well. Thanks! Candice B. |  | ~ Candice B., May 21 2008
