TarragoShoe Cream Professional Shoe Polish for Leather Boots, Shoes, Purse, Furniture Eco Friendly Leather Conditioner 1.7oz - Platinum Metallic #506

Finally found the perfect color shoe polish for my kids shoes! So easy to apply without using a lot and lasts thru the season. Doesn’t stain and easy to wash from surfaces.

I wished I'd taken before and after photos to how just how well Tarrago Shoe Cream works as it is nothing short of miraculous! I have a dark green leather chair that had terrible scuffs and scratches on the cushion and ottoman and I tried a number of conditioners and saddle soap to try and restore the color to no avail. The Tarrago Shoe Cream was a longshot, but as soon as I tried it on the worst spots the color soaked into the leather. I followed the directions carefully and once I wiped off the excess and buffed as directed it completely covered the scuffs, scratches, and other problems. The chair and ottoman didn't look brand new, but no more visible scratches and scuffs. It looked completely presentable and so much better I could scarcely believe my eyes. I've been using Meltonian for my shoes for ages, but I have a new brand now!

I have a pair of grey leather golf shoes that were scraped up pretty bad. I was unable to find a color match solution to fix these and thought I'd try polishing them as a last resort. I'm use to polishing firm, smooth leather shoes but these were really flexible and textured. I was very surprised at the results. Take a look at the photo - shoe on the left looked just like the one on the right before I applied the polish. Very happy with the color, consistency, and results. I know the polish won't last forever but it salvaged a pair of shoes that I would have otherwise not worn again.

The color (cognac) was more orange tint than the online photo. The product had a nice creamy texture. Unfortunately had to return due to color, but will definitely consider purchasing the item in a different color.

This shoe polish is incredibly smooth and easy to apply. It has a definite fuchsia/aubergine color which matches my YSL bag perfectly. Smooth it in, let sit and then buff it for best results.

Took my old leather shoes to update. Used the cream and it refreshed the leather. No more dry cracks and it gave it a good shine. Not mirror shine but a good luster comparable to a polish. Nice work!

I am a former shoe cobbler. I am writing this review for anyone, but also anyone with knowledge of or interest in solvents, paints, adhesives etc because I like this product a lot, but it has very specific applications in my opinion and I would want to know these before purchase in some contexts.This is, in essence, a water-based paint. It cleans up very readily with water should it wind up on unintended surfaces. This is true even after cure of two months, in my experience.For context, I have a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels made of a matte/nubuck dupe fine grain leather in a solid pale ice blue. I was wanting to turn these metallic with a product that would not crack or peel over time, and hoped to avoid doing something permanent that I would come to regret/find irreversible. I did not want to saturate the leather with a dye, as darker was not my goal... simply metallic, and the ice blue was a good background for applying something silvery. I used the bright silver in this polish, but I trust that any mettalic by the same brand would be very good. I will be buying more.I set out to 'rub' this product into the leather surface as I would with a Meltonian shoe cream. The effect was not the same. This product does not saturate the leather whatsoever, but simply sits on top and accumulates by layers. It then dries, and this is why I consider it to be more of a paint, and my application recommendations are discussed further below. In my initial application I attempted to apply the cream consistently in one layer using a cotton ball (because I'm lazy), which resulted in fine hairs of cotton embedded in the polish layer AND (most importantly), patchy areas where the polish did not adhere to the leather as well as others. As I attempted to 'spot' apply more polish to these areas, I noticed the problem was that the fresh wet polish was wirking like a solvent to break down earlier, dried applications and remove these. Because the stuff readily removes with water alone, I abandoned the project for over a month knowing that the next time I applied I would instead use a small brush and lay consistent layers on top of each other, allowing thorough dry time in between, and build to the desired saturation.Thankfully my (then) theory about water clean up was correct and some several weeks later I was able to remove all the polish down to the very same leather I started with using cotton balls and water. I can now start anew with paintbrush application. I recommend that users treat this like an acrylic paint. Do not rub on and expect the stuff to adhere to the leather outright (I had the perfect canvas for this stuff to stick to... a raw, matte, open-pored nubuck). Assume it will lift itself in multiple applications and lay down layers with no opportunity for these to lift with additional rubbing.Of note, when I returned to the shoes to remove my first attempt, I noticed that the thickest area of application had cracked. I hadn't worn them at all, so this occured without stress to the base leather. The cracking was very fine... in ceramics it is called 'crazing' and that's a good description of what I witnessed. Very fine cracks densely dispersed in the areas where the cream had built up excessively. I flexed the leather in these areas to see if there was any sign that the cracking would lead to peeling, and there was no indication that the polish was separating from the leather. I would consider this a superficial characteristic of the polish, and it would not bother me if it occured on my final preparation. Certainly not when I can simply wipe this stuff off over time and reapply to freshen up my shoes. At any rate, I believe that if I apply consistent layers with the brush/painting technique and keep the overall application thin and consistent, the crazing may not even occur or become an unmanageable issue.And, my Manolo Blahniks look positively metallic silver. They look incredible. I will be buying more of this stuff. If you want metallic leather, this is your bliss. Because it is water soluble and highly soluble over time, know it might now be a long-term solution for something that gets a lot of surface contact like a handbag or billfold. If I were thinking of an appropriate product for those applications I would want this same product, but oil based.

I ordered Tarrago #15 Dark Gray. It's not really all that dark at all. At best it is a medium gray, and actually it's a bit lighter than that. I could see it wasn't going to match at all (for filling in some cracks in some non-shoe leather). I thought about blending some of the Tarrago #15 with some Black (Saphir) Cream to try to get the color where I needed it to be. But it turned out the Black (Saphir) Cream did a pretty good job by itself. It filled the cracks darkly but not so much that they stood out against the gray of the leather. So I ended-up returning the Tarrago #15.Tarrago Cream appears to enjoy the reputation of being the best shoe cream product, other than Saphir. They are both owned by the same company, btw, but they each build their own historical formulations in their own historical factories, Tarrago in Spain, Saphir in France. With Tarrago Cream you have to be OK with it being water-based (instead of solvent-based). Water-based puts a limit upon how much pigment the cream can suspend; solvent-based creams can suspend more pigment.On the upside, Tarrago seems to have the widest palette of colors among all the major shoe creams. However I do see other reviewers here also saying that the Tarrago color they get in the glass jar is off from what they expected it to be from looking at the name and the color pallete.

It was exactly what I wanted.

la couleur aubergine est magnifique, c'est exactement ce que je voulais , l'odeur est très discrète et le cirage en lui-même fait le job, donc rien à redire
