Customer Reviews Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam 2.87 oz

Excellent Product - This product works miracles on Dr. Martens... not only does it protect the leather, it makes the shoes look brand new in the process.

SWEEEEEEEEET Stuff!! I was looking for something to use on my green leather purse to give it new life. Boy, did I find it with this product. I am VERY pleased how this stuff made my purse look brand new. Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

Great product - Great product,I have used other conditioners and this is great.It has a sponge with it and make applying it easy. Made a older pair of doc's look a lot better.

great product - 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.

Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam - 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.

Great product - 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!

Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam - 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 - I bought this product on its outstanding reviews. The product did not let me down. It performs amazingly and gives a brilliant finish. My son needed a perfect "shine" for inspections in the FDNY academy. It is superb!

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.

Good stuff! I bought this item for my husband and he loves it. It cleans and softens without much effort. We'll definitely buy it again.

Definitely worth the price. Keeps your Docs looking like new.

Chris - This stuff is expensive but it goes a long way. I used it on my soccer shoes, and leather Puma Speedcats, leather Skechers, along with my Dr. Martens. Makes them look new. Does a good job repelling water, but if you get shoes real wet you have to reapply.

Small Wonder - I think the Shoe Balsam is a very good value considering how long it lasts. You can use it on several pairs of shoes/boots and it lasts for ages. I like the fact that it waterproofs the leather of your Docs which is great for the kitchen work environment that I work in. Also gives a slight shine, more of a deep clean look really. Nice. I think it works better than Mink Oil, but that’s just my opinion. I will keep buying the Balsam!

Great Shoe Protection - This is great shoe protection. Covers small scuffs. Offers great protection for the shoe without leaving a ridiculous shine or very oily texture.

A must for your Docs - The Wonder Balsam completely restored the original finish to my Dr. Martens. However, I should note that I bought this with my Docs and began using it to maintain the finish after the first wear or two. It is very easy to use, just wipe it on with the provided sponge. A little goes a long way. I haven't tried it yet on my other shoes (by other brands), but I would be willing to do so. However, I don't believe it would give shoes a shine - just that matted polished look Docs have.

Tis the season - So far we have only had a chance to use the Wonder Balsam on a baseball mitt. However, if it does as well on shoes, I'm stocking up!
