Hi all,
New to the world of shoe care.
I have some longwing brogues ive been wearing to work for several years. Ive decided to givethem a bit of tlc.
So i cleaned them with a medium bristle brush. A shoe cleaner by cherry blossom (UK). Which cleaned them up nice. As a novice i read about dubbin wax. Probably wrongly i applied too much which left some quite obvious creasing on the toe box so decided to clean this off again.
Then i had a cream moisturiser. A few coats on both shoes and they started looking better again, more hydrated not as dry.
Since then i applied 2/3 coats of thin shoe polish (also cherry blossom) and since then althoigh the sides generally look better and smooth with a small shine its almost as if one shoe is darker than the other with more significant loght creases in the dark spot over the toe box and sides of the toebox.
What could have caused this as i have no idea. Do i clean off and start again? Any advice appreciated.
