Smooth and easy to apply -
The Dr. Martens Shoe Balsam made my Dr. Martens distressed black leather boots look a bit shinier-- which I like. Nicks and scratches from everyday wear rub right off easily. Boots have a nice sheen and look even-toned.

A little pricey for the quantity, but the name doesn't lie.

DM's Wonderful for Shoes -
My husband has been searching for DM's Shoe Balsam for months. Local store where we purchased the product closed and we haven't been able to find it at another store. Found it on Zappos site while looking for Brooks shoes. Great shoe care; can't be beat.

Shoes like new -
This is a fab product! I tried it on several pairs of shoes which now look as good as new. Not greasy absorbs right into the leather and gives a beautiful shine.

Shoe renewal -
The only thing I really don't like is that it darkens the leather considerably, but it does get out the scratches and water spots well.

Dr. Martens balsam is wonderful -
I used Dr. Martens Wonder shoe Balsam on 2 pairs of shoes and they look almost like new again! It makes leather more supple and just really renews it. I highly recommend it!

Great Stuff!
This stuff is amazing. I applied it to my boots as directed, and I'm actually able to stand in 4" of water without getting my socks wet. Plus, it makes the boots look great; not all slick and shiny, but supple.

Dr. Martens Wonder Shoe Balsam -
Well, I gave it 5 starts for comfort and 5 stars for look, which is not really right, since this is more of a shoe conditioner. But it does work well in keeping shoes in top condition and is a lot less messy than regular shoe polish. You can use it on all different colors of shoes. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth it, as it lasts a long time and works better than other similar products.

Works Wonders -
I used this product on an old pair of leather shoes and it made them look as good as new. It took most if not all the scuff marks out, helped with water repellence also.

Great stuff -
This is great for renewing your leather if it has lost a little of its newness ... I just used it on some favorite leather thong sandals and it's made such a difference ... they look (almost!) new again.

Wonder Shoe Balsam is...
Wonderful!!! Really, I put some on before I laced up my 2 pairs of Doc Martens. Rubbed it in good and laced up. My work boots look good but don't have the telltale marks on the deck, left when you use polish. It seems to have helped on the break in too, as they both broke in relatively easy. I can't wait to get home to my motorcycle jacket and test it on that next!

Easy to use, just rub on with the sponge provided, and works great - brings back the shine to the leather.

Dr. Marten's Wonder Shoe Balsam -
This product is awesome. I used it on all my shoes and it took out any scuffs, scratches and softened the leather. Made some of the shoes look like new again. Well worth the cost. I treated about 20 pairs of shoes and used only a fraction of the paste. Zappos super service.

Fantastic product -
After reading previous reviews, I decided to try the product. The reviews are right on target; this is the best leather cleaner/conditioner I have ever used! Have used it on shoes and purses with excellent results in all cases.

AWESOME!!!!!!!
This stuff IS truly amazing. The day I got it, I polished 7 pairs of shoes and my 18 year old SCHOTT PERFECTO leather jacket and my 17 year old Harley Davidson wallet and I hardly made a dent in the stuff. I still can't believe how great my jacket turned out, and my shoes look great and everything feels soft and supple. Worth every penny and I will buy more when needed.

Doc Marten's Cure -
Perfect prescription for ailing shoes and boots!
But, just like all real doctors' services a little pricey! Still worth it, though!

Great balm -
Great balm to keep the leather from drying out. Can protect the shoe against scuffs, humidity, etc.

Wonder Shoe Balsam lives up to its name -
I have a pair of leather loafers that were so scuffed and worn looking I was planning on throwing them away. I had ordered the shoe balsam for use on other shoes, but out of curiosity I tried it on the loafers. I could not believe the difference it made. The scuff marks and worn spots didn't just fade, they flat disappeared. I have my favorite loafers back...this is a great product!

Truly a Wonder...
I've used this stuff for years. As others have stated, it not only helps repel water, it makes an old pair of shoes look brand new! Don't know how it works...but I would not be w/o it.

Great Product.
This product shines and moisturizes without leaving a waxy buildup. Also, it doesn't change or affect the color of the stitching on shoes.

Great stuff! It took me 10 minutes to revive my old leather handbag-backpack that turned dull grey color from years of use. Now the bag is shiny black again. The stuff doesn't smell either. I also used it on some shoes - it took scuffs out is seconds and made them look like new.
