Leather shoes are an investment, and keeping them in top condition means choosing the right care products. Many people reach for traditional shoe polish to add shine, but when it comes to restoring faded, worn-out leather, Clyde's Leather Recoloring Balm is the better choice.

So, what's the difference? Let's compare these two approaches and help you decide which one is best for your leather shoes.

Traditional Shoe Polish: A Quick Shine, But Limited Restoration

Shoe polish has been around for over a century and is widely used to protect and enhance leather. Most polishes contain waxes, oils, and pigments that:

• Provide a temporary shine.

• Act as a surface barrier against dirt and moisture.

• Offer minor color touch-ups, but don't deeply restore faded leather.

However, polish sits on top of the leather rather than absorbing into it. It can't fix cracks, dryness, or significant fading. Plus, frequent polishing can lead to waxy buildup, making leather stiff over time.

If your shoes just need a shine before a formal event, shoe polish is a quick fix. But if your leather is faded, dry, or scuffed, it won't be enough.
