Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam 2.87 oz

Really is a Wonder Balsam! Wonder Balsam works great, I first used on my work boots and made them look new. Easy to apply. With a reputation that Dr. Martens has, I ordered with confidence.

Amazing substance - This goo is great for helping to break in your Dr. Martens and protects them from moisture. It softens and protects the leather on the shoes and seemingly lasts forever. I've worn Docs for about ten years and I just had to buy my second jar recently. The secret is not to use too much, just a small amount goes a long way.

Love this stuff! This wonder balsam is THE product to keep all of my shoes looking polished, smooth, and professional. It masks tiny marks in the leather, removes dust and residue, and leaves all my shoes (not just my Docs) shiny and protected. I would recommend this product to absolutely anyone.

Shoe Conditioner- Haven't found anything better- love your Wonder Balsam. It conditions and adds a satin finish. It's not available locally so I order it on line. Thanks for the wonderful product and your quick response.

A must for leather-shoe owners- I was skeptical at first... but when I tried it on a pair of badly-scuffed boots, I was amazed. The balm is clear, goes on neatly with a minimum of fuss, and doesn't smell weird (it doesn't smell at all, in fact). This stuff not only shined the boots right up, it has KEPT them shining like new. I immediately polished all my leather shoes- and they now look as good as they did when I bought them. Thank you for a truly great product!!

Better than any shoe oil or protector I've used!! I use my Boots in all the elements and have found that Dr. Martens Balsam works better and last longer than any thing I have tried before. It works great for breaking in also. One can will last longer than you think. Dose not leave an oily film on everything either. I work Construction and do Snow Removal so I have put it through a lot this winter and would highly recommend it for new and used Boots and Shoes.

BUY THIS!!! If you own Docs or any leather shoe for that matter, you NEED to buy this! It takes scuffs out and keeps your Docs looking like brand new! You don’t need to use a lot so it lasts forever! Buy this and you will NEVER want to go without it again... you will NOT be disappointed!

Wonder? DM's Balsam is a wonder- how does it work so wonderfully? Had a black leather car coat- soft leather- and it was scratched from schlepping my equipment (I'm a professional photographer). Easy to use sponge applicator without an offensive odor. Applied it twice over the entire coat- scratches gone and plenty left for many other uses. It really does waterproof as well. Buy it- it's worth the price.

A Great way to keep your Docs looking day one sharp!

This stuff works - No odor. Just conditioned, shiny shoes. I bought this with my new Doc's. Zappos recommended this item. I think it is definitely a must have if you buy Docs.

Dr. Marten's "MIRACLE" Wonder Shoe (& Purse) Balsam - I am a first-time Dr. Marten's Wonder Shoe Balsam user, and I bought it as a result of the reviews given by previous users. Glad I did! It worked minor miracles on my old, "beater" Coach purses, and gives a healthy dose of conditioning to my better ones. When I first got it, I pulled out my oldest, most beat-up purse to see what it could do. I was amazed! Not only did it greatly improve the looks of the purse, it did so to the degree a friend wanted to buy it from me to give as a present to her daughter! (True story.) Prior to Dr. Marten's Balsam treatment, I had considered throwing the purse away. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it's a bit greasy, but even that goes away in a few minutes after it has soaked in. Anything that can make this much difference to leather deserves raves and kudos. Thanks!

Good stuff- Very effective. Used on shoes and briefcase. Makes them look almost new again.

A Little Dab'll Do You - Works as advertised. It just takes a little bit of wonder balsam on the enclosed sponge, and your leather boots and shoes will look rejuvenated. I've put the product on a couple of boots and dress shoes, and when coupled with shoe trees, the leather looks like new and wrinkles are much less noticeable. Good stuff and really, a little bit is all you need.

Great stuff - This stuff is excellent. It really works wonders with the leather. Old shoes come out looking new.

Good Stuff - I used this on an old, beat up pair of Docs, and it worked wonders. My boots look ten times better now. It got rid of much of the wear and tear and scuff marks.

Age Gracefully - The Balsam is 5 Stars. I will reorder. Price is in direct proportion to the quality of the product. It protects and conditions the leather in a way that gives you the character that adversity gives a good pair of shoes.

A wonderful investment! I've owned a pair of leather Diesel Auriga's for a year now, and they are scuffed, marked, and generally worn all over the place. This stuff goes on clear and made my shoes look brand new, no joke. I couldn't stop, so I had to put it on all my other leather shoes as well. What a wonderful product!

It's a WONDER! My husband found this by accident in Sioux Falls SD. When the container was getting low we went on line to find more! He loves it! The best he has ever used!!!!!

Excellent product - This balsam is very good for all leather shoes, and very easy to use. It leaves your shoes as new after you use it and it protects the leather at all times.

Really great stuff - I was skeptical of all the previous reviews I’d read, but I went ahead & ordered this anyway...& I’m glad I did! I’ve had a pair of boots for over a yr now, that's suffered the scuffs of regular wear, & this balm helped to greatly reduce the appearance of them, as well as make my boots look newer overall. I’ve also used this on my boyfriend's battered motorcycle boots, & they look a lot better as a result. The balm's a little hard in the container at first, so you have to work the sponge around a bit to get it out, but a little goes a long way. I can't testify to the waterproof-ness of this balm quite yet, but I’m very satisfied with just the fact that it makes my boots look like new. Totally worth the money.

Great product <3 - Awesome product. Easy to apply and most importantly doesn not smell bad at all, ever. It's expensive but worth it, you only need a little.

Great product - Super easy to use, and doesn't smell nasty. Love this product - made even my old beat up shoes look pretty good again.

Great Stuff! I used this product on about 5 pairs of shoes of varying ages and conditions. It refreshed all of them and protected my new shoes on a very rainy trip to New York.

I like it. You just need to use a tiny bit. I used the enclosed sponge to rub it into my new 8761 series boots, and it seemed to soften them up a bit. It seems a little greasy at first, but about 10 minutes after applying, all greasiness is completely gone. I used to use Dr. Martens Shoe Dubbin on my boots, but this is working very well. I'm very happy with it.

Wonderful product! I bought 2 pairs of Docs from Zappos and this shoe balm is a must for all your leather shoes. It is not a polish or water repellant but it does a wonderful job to re-conditioning your new/old shoes/boots. It comes with a sponge applicator which is nice and makes applying much easier. Since the product itself is clear, it works for all color shoes regardless of the surface type. No residue or smell at all,it works its way into the leather. I also use this shoe balm on my expensive Louis Vuitton leather goods, totally safe!
