A beautiful pair of shoes deserves top shelf treatment, the best polishes such as the Saphir Medaille d'Or line of wax polishes, and really good attention so that whenever you bring these shoes out and you wear them, they're able to take care of you like you took care of them. In this Shoe Shining Guide, we look at how to shine shoes using the Parisian Method of shoe shining. In this video, we are featuring the Saphir line of premium wax polishes. These Berluti dress shoes were an honor to shine.

Step 1: Clean the shoes and remove the old wax using a neutral wax polish.(1:51)
Using a small dauber, with a little bit of wax, polish the welt. Rub the polish into the welt at length, especially focusing on the toe to make sure that you are covering any type of nicks that occur just through walking. It is not important to really buff that to a high-shine yet because you're going to do that in a later step. After the welt is nourished, take one of our high-shine cotton chamois and use a neutral wax polish. The solvents in this neutral wax are going to pull off any of the prior waxes that have been placed on the shoe and this allows it to clean and re-emulsify the previously placed wax on the shoe. Continue to polish in strong circular motions working that dirty polish off of the shoe. You should never polish without first removing the old polish and any dust that may have accumulated on the shoes over time. Especially work across the vamp where creases commonly form. When you are no longer taking any polish onto the chamois so that means that these shoes have been cleaned, all of the old polish has been removed.
Step 2: Waterproof the leather using a yellow wax. (6:27)
To waterproof the shoes, use a yellow wax polish. Take out a clean cloth and roll it around your fingers. With this polish, you will close all of the leather pores that we opened during the cleaning process. Apply polish on your chamois using light to moderate pressure, large circular motions, and fast strokes to work this polish into the leather. You want to apply pressure to make sure that the polish is taken into the pores of the shoes. You will want to do this quite briskly because the heat that you generate with the chamois is what's going to help seal the wax to close those pores.
Step 3: Polish it using a pigmented polish to match the actual color of the shoes. (9:02)
Take the pigmented Pate de Luxe Saphir Wax Polish, and begin to apply it to the shoe. Push hard to ensure that this leather takes in the polish while using circular motions. Make sure that you apply it to the entire surface of the shoe, especially the heel and the forward toe because those are the areas that inevitably have the most wear. After you've have applied polish to the entire surface of the shoe, take some cold water and just put a few drops off onto the leather. If you add too much water then you can just let the shoes dry for a little bit, but using just small drops allows you to really control how much of the water you're adding. The cold water helps harden the wax polish followed by the fast motions to really bring it to a shine.
