    Meltonian Shoe Cream discontinued?

    I stopped by the local shoe hospital to pick up a new jar of #10, and was told that Meltonian was discontinued due to a carcinogen in it. I picked up a couple of jars of Kelly's, while I was there, and will see how that works out. Has anyone else heard anything about this? A Google search didn't...

    Ingredients in Venetian Shoe Cream

    What's in this stuff? I have some of this stuff, it is insanely cheap. It says it is a cleaner and it polishes. It works well to build a shine, but is it a conditioner, or mostly solvents? It seems to take up a lot of finish.

    Car wax on shoes (I know, a sin...)

    I'm not much of a shoe care expert, but I've been detailing cars since I was a kid. So I had some free time, was reading up on some detailing forums, and got to thinking, why not? So I grabbed the nearest sealant (NXT), an old pair of shoes I wouldn't care much about destroying, and put on a...

    How to polish blue shoes?

    How does one polish blue calf leather shoes? I can't seem to find any dark blue polish. On another note, if one can't match the shade of polish to the shoe exactly, would one use the nearest tone that's lighter or darker? Thanks for all the advice in advance.
