How do you go about getting the best color match between your shoe's original color and polish or wax?
Many online sellers sell shoes, i.e. C & J in their "unique" colors...chestnut, but do not offer the corresponding chestnut polish.
Some manufacturers do not even make color-matched polish/wax.
SF recommended shoe supply sites offer dozens of shades of polish but it is difficult to know if the color will match from the photo on the site and a very big consideration...until after it's applied and buffed.
Local shoe repair shops may have polish but in limited brands, types and shades.
Also, some non-colored shoe conditioners may darken certain shoes after they are applied.
How do members try to keep the original shoe color when the application of shoe conditioner, colored polish/wax is needed?
Thanks-Chris
