I have used this product previously and had been unable to find it in any stores, even the specialty stores that sell their shoes. I ordered from Zappos at a good price and received my order in a couple of days. This is a great product and lasts forever!

This stuff is awesome! My new Dr Martens were already starting to look a bit scuffed and this balm made them look shiny again. It also helped soften the leather.

Believe the hype! Just applied on my boots and leather sneakers. This product is far better than other leather treatments I have used in the past. It instantly brings new life to your favorite pairs of shoes. It appears to clean, polish, and repair the leather. My only complaint is with the packaging, it includes an applicator sponge, and to access the product, I ended up cracking the casing trying to remove the compartment that houses the sponge. I'd say its equal parts poor design and user error, there's probably an easier way. Regardless, recommended.

I found it to greatly improve the appearance of some badly scuffed shoes; so it seems like a pretty good product. Would recommend.

I love this wax, I've used it on both black and brown leather shoes and it definitely brought back the original finish and helped mask some scuff marks. The product includes a foam applicator for easy use, just polish the wax into your shoes and watch it breath new life into your leather.

Use this with all Dr. Martens leather shoes or boots, and leather will last much longer and look better. Use it with all leathers, but I can't emphasize it enough for Dr. Marten brand leather shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Campers, Vibrams, TKU's, Timberlands, and Fred Perry's

I have used this for years to condition my boots. I also like to use it on my leather purses.

This Wonder Balsam is fantastic! I had scuffed my brand new Dr. Martens and the wondrous Wonder Balsam made it disappear. Amazing product!

Good grief this stuff is amazing. Took my old Vasque Sundowners, which have been used and abused every summer for the last 10 years, and look it, back to looking almost brand new. The axe and bramble scars are still there, but the leather no longer looks dry and mistreated. Everything I've tried over the years hasn't helped nearly this much, even stuff vastly more expensive. Very easy to apply, but if you drop the sponge onto something while it's soaked in the stuff, and you better treat it quick with some detergent, 'cause if it dries on your shirt, it's never coming out.

Wow, just tried not only on my new Martens, but an older casual shoes and the result is amazing. It completely fixed and recovered even the small - almost invisible - scratch. Highly recommended!

Talk about your ease of application! I love this balsam because it’s not only a no-brainer to use, it actually works, and a little goes a long way. I polished all my leather shoes, boots and purses. I’m pretty hard on my stuff so I was relieved to see everything start to look like new again. The balsam did turn my tan leather purse into a slightly richer shade, as if I were staining woodwork - it looks even better than before, like it has new life to it.

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!

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.
I'd also recommend:
Silicone water guard, lexol products

Perfect. Saved my $140 pair of shoes. I have a pair of Campers. Like a dummy, I played around with my boy kicking a soccer ball around with them, and the tips were very worn out afterwards. I bought this on an impulse, together with something else. I fully thought that it wouldn't work. It does. My shoes look as good as ever, you could never tell the difference between the leather on the tips and that on the sides. Strongly recommended.

Balsam review - Product works very well. My Docs are black and about a year old. They are my work boots at the fire station, so they have seen some abuse. The Balsam restored the leather to almost the original look and feel. Once again, wonderful product!

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.

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!

This stuff rocks - I have a pair of very old Harley boots which I love dearly. This stuff works wonders on the leather and makes them look shiny & healthy. I highly recommend this product!

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.
I'd also recommend:
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.
