The best results of refreshing the color of your shoes are being obtained when cleaning them before treatment. You can brush away the dirt and clean them with water, but you can use the MISTER MINIT Combi. This product is suited for cleaning all kinds of leather, suede, nubuck and textile materials and protects against dirt and rain.

Refresh the color of your leather shoes

Once your shoes are properly cleaned, you can start by enhancing their color. A cream, similar to the color of your smooth or grained leather shoes, can be applied sparingly and evenly with a soft brush or a sponge applicator.

After applying the cream, let it dry and then polish with a soft cloth.

The cream will not only enhance the color, but will also nourish and protect the shoe from stains.

Tip: be careful around stitches that may have a different color and make sure to test the cream on an inconspicuous area first.

For a more intensive treatment of smooth and rough leathers, you can use a highly effective shoe polish such as the MISTER MINIT Color Renovator. Thanks to the color pigments in the polish the leather will be nourished and it will get a powerful shine. This Color Renovator is perfectly suited to cover damages on children's shoes.
