I got a pair of AE Cliftons in Walnut . What color of Saphir cream/wax polish should I get? There's a list of them here. Thanks.

Perhaps medium brown. However, why not simply use the Allen Edmonds Walnut stuff? I have both and use the Allen Edmonds on my AE shoes. Haven't seen anything but fine results.

hmm...probably light brown. I'm in the same situation. I can't figure out what kind to buy for whiskey shell cordovan.

I realize that AE has a polish in the exact color, but on the other hand I would be able to use a light/medium Saphir polish for other shoes and it's arguably better quality. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

I'm using neutral conditioners (URAD, Saphir Renovateur) for routine care, and then I just use a small quantity of the AE cream polish in their specialty colors for color treatment as needed. This has made my tubes of AE Chili, Chestnut and Walnut cream polish last for years.
