Kiwi cracked my PS shoes

[SpallaCamiccia]

It never happened to me before, I bought this horrible kiwi polishin can and used for the first time on my new PS shoes, came ruined, cracked.
Should I repolish them with my usual cream?

So you're absolutely certain it's the Kiwi that did the damage?

By those terrible pictures it looks like deep creasing on cracks. They look more pronounced because you used neutral polish, which makes creases turn whitish. Condition them, brush them, use brown polish, brush again.

We should all thank kiwi. The polish made it even more apparent how ****** the leather really is. Good leather won't crease like that. My loakes have a few, so

I've had this before with using neutral polish on bad quality leather so I'd agree with what's already been said. On a side note - steer well clear of the PS line of Paul Smith in the future. The Paul Smith mainline shoes actually aren't too bad (like the Starr).

You sure those PS shoes aren't purposely aged?

 

[entrero]

^Good point, I might say that's more likely.

I have Starr's that are Blake Rapid construction that I quite like. I got them retrofitted with Dianites and I wear them in the rain, (like today). They are pretty indestructable and coincidentally my cheapest pair of shoes.
