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 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!

Dr. Martens Wonder shoe Balsam -
This is the best product! We have tried others that claim to do the same thing. None of them have ever worked and they have left streaks on our shoes. Thank you for recommending Dr. Martens!

Easy and not stinky.
This product did a great job on waterproofing the seams on my winter boots, and it's clear, doesn't stink, doesn't leave nasty residue, and is generally not a big irritating mess to use. I haven't tested its merits through a proper blizzard yet, but it's been great through the rain.

Great Investment -
I bought this as an add-on to the order I placed for new shoes for my son. What a bonus! The application was quick and easy. It has made his shoes easier to maintain and they stay relatively scuff-free. This product has also revitalized my own well-worn leather shoes. It was a modest price to pay for such a quality product/benefit and I'm glad Zappos.com 'suggested' it with my order.

Wonderful Stuff -
As others have noted, this product is a bit pricey, but it really is a wonder. I used it on my scuffed Born oxfords, which are tricky to polish because of contrast stitching, and the Wonder Balsam made them look like new!

Really Great Stuff!
I was hesitant to buy this because I always had bought the Shoe Dubbin for Greasy shoes. I tried this on my old, worn greasy Docs and this stuff made them look new again! It has worked on brown leather and black leather. Great stuff!

Dr. Martens's Wonder Shoe Balsam -
This stuff is worth it! I put it on a pair of boots that I have had for 10 years. I rarely wear them becuase they were very expensive & not waterproof. When you first put it on (with the enclosed sponge) you are thinking "Hmmm - this is a mistake!" But it seems to "soak" into the leather & really revitalize it! I wore them in the rain the other day & the treatment seems to have worked.

I would never have known about Wonder Balsam if Zappos had not suggested it with my order. It's FANTASTIC!!! I know it seems pricey but worth every penny. A little goes a long way. Thanks Zappos.

Darn good stuff -
I bought my Dr Martens sandals and was worried about keeping them nice, we have had a ton of rain here in Florida. As soon as my shoes arrived I put the Wonder Shoe Balsam on them, boy was I glad that I did. I was caught in a thunder storm with my dog. Between running home in the rain and mud, I had the dog stepping on my new shoes. When I got home I just wiped them off. Today, several weeks later they still look brand new. (I wear them everyday all day)

Goes on easy. Softens leather as you apply it. Haven't tested waterproof yet. Helped greatly with break in time.

Wondrous Wonder Balm -
I was surprised at how small the jar was for the price, but it does a great job of making things look new. I coated my new Caterpillar boots with it to help keep them waterproof and in good shape, but I won't have rain until October to find out if it works for that. I would buy it again even though it's a bit pricey because it does do a nice job on restoring leather.

It Works!
My red Doc's were very scuffed. I applied Wonder Balsam and they looked almost like new. It goes on quickly, and they were ready to wear. It protected my shoes from the abuse I give them working as a custodian.

Wonder Shoes Work!
I purchased the Wonder Shoe because I needed several pairs of comfortable walking shoes for my recent European Walking Tour. These shoes really came through for me. I walked approximately 20 - 45 miles per day, taking in the wonderful sights in Paris through London. These shoes were stylish and comfie beyond belief. While several friends developed blisters on the heel area of their shoes, my Wonder Shoes felt like clouds on my feet and never caused the slightest discomfort! I shared my secret with the other traveling walkers. You can be sure Zappos will be receiving their shoe orders soon!
