Question (first posted by @unbelragazzo ): If I want to get a more interesting and deeper color in my black shoes by using navy, should I use navy wax and cream? or just one or the other? Still some black every once in a while as well?

Answer (first posted by @patrickBOOTH ): It is going to be very hard to notice any difference in shoes that are already black just using polishes. I have a pair of shoes that I striped down and used leather dye, many coats of navy and a few black coats over it and many would barely notice a difference. In any event, using navy polish on black shoes certaintly wouldn't hurt. Cream deposits more color, but wax shines better.

Follow up answer from @Gdot : I've used Navy on black shoes both creams and polishes. My experience matches Patrick's, it just never adds up to anything more than a faint glow of blue. It's nice - but no one would notice who wasn't looking very closely.
