Polishing Like a Pro : A Step-by-Step Guide for Leather Shoes

17 Apr 2025

Featuring Ambiorix’s Premium Shoe Care Collection

Whether you're preparing for a boardroom meeting or a casual evening out, your shoes say a lot about you. And when it comes to handcrafted leather shoes, proper polishing isn't just a luxury—it's essential maintenance. Let’s walk you through a step-by-step guide to polish your leather shoes like a pro using Ambiorix’s premium shoe care products.

 

Why Polishing Matters

Polishing not only revives the natural shine of leather but also protects your shoes from moisture, dust, and wear. With regular care, your Ambiorix shoes can last longer and retain their elegance for years.

 

🧰 Step 1: Gather Your Tools

You'll need:

  • Ambiorix Shoewax (choose a shade that matches your shoe: Black, Dark Brown, Mid Brown, Grey, Marine Blue, or Transparent)
  • Soft cotton cloth or shoe brush
  • Suede Spray (if caring for suede shoes)
  • A clean, dry workspace
 

🧼 Step 2: Clean the Shoes

Remove any dust or dirt with a dry cloth or soft shoe brush. For deep-set grime, lightly dampen the cloth with water and wipe the surface.

Tip: If you're polishing suede, skip the wax and use Ambiorix Suede Spray to refresh the material without damaging the texture.

 

🧴 Step 3: Apply the Shoewax

Choose the appropriate color:

Using a cloth or brush, apply a small amount of wax in circular motions. Focus on toe caps and heel areas that show the most wear.

 

🕒 Step 4: Let It Sit

Allow the wax to penetrate the leather for 10–15 minutes. This nourishes the leather and enhances the color depth.

 

🧽 Step 5: Buff to Shine

Use a clean, soft cloth or a horsehair brush to buff the shoes until you get the desired shine. The more you buff, the more luxurious the finish.

 

🔄 Step 6: Repeat as Needed

Repeat once every 2–3 weeks, or whenever your shoes start to look dull. Regular care ensures the leather stays supple and radiant.

 

👞 Pro Tip: Rotate Your Products

Match wax shades based on your shoe wardrobe. Keep a variety—like Grey, Mid Brown, and Transparent—on hand to maintain multiple pairs.

 

Final Thoughts

Your shoes are more than an accessory—they're a reflection of your personality. With Ambiorix’s premium shoe care products, taking care of them is simple, effective, and luxurious.
