Me too.

I don't take care my shoes often enough, but since I had an email exchange with AM though I would share with regard to what shoe cream I should use

1. Bi Material (bragues on smooth leather portion/wiskey pin grain on facing colored to match the rest) Hastatus GMTO
03 light brown with small parts of 09 mohagan

2. Navy lazyman (via Yeossal) in vintage Cornelia GMTO
02 neutral with some navy color from Saphir (guess not on chart here, only see marine blue)

3. Decurion II in Museum Grey 2 GMTO
02 neutral plus 01 black on the darker parts

4. Modified facing Hastus in Caffe Tostato
05 dark brown (if you wish to keep misty effect or antiqued mix with 03 for the light parts)

5. Catullo in Pearl Grey (this one is coming, I don't have it yet)
02 neutral mix with 01 black

Surprised with the Caffe since it has a lot of red underdtones

That’s what Angela says, guess I’ll find out once I actually start wear dress shoes again (caffe tostato was post COVID purchase)

Me too ?. I've worn them a few times and applied some Hermes red with dark brown

 

[clee1982]

I never used anything Hermes, are they rebranded Saphir or actually something else?

The colour Saphir #12 is Hermes red. Thought name was weird personally. It's a true red. I rather like the red undertones and wanted to accentuate it a bit.

She told me medium brown for sienna horween hatch . I've used a bit of the Bordeaux since the loafers actually get some wear.

That said, I think as long as you are picking off a colour that's already there there's no wrong choice.

 

[clee1982]

yup, I'm usually not too fuzzy about matching it exactly

I used to be but refuse to buy more cream to use on one pair of shoes that gets worn once a month.

 

[clee1982]

yup, given my lazy care regime, it takes me forever to go through shoe cream anyway, I still got Saphir cream in black from 2010...

Just opened up some neutral creme that had completely hardened

 

[clee1982]

and since I don't own any shell cordovan anymore, not sure what I do with those cream...

You could use it on normal leather I assume

Whether it is right or wrong, I use cream on everything but crust leather. Wax for toe and heel
