After extensive testing, we have found what we believe to be the finest shoe care products in the world. There seems to be one factory on the planet that can make creams and waxes of this standard, and it has two ‘house’ brands at the top of its range; Saphir Medaille d’Or and La Cordonnerie Anglaise. These products are often rebadged by shoemakers at the higher end of the market, but there is also a lot of sub-standard stuff out there and believe us it absolutely does make a difference! The Jaunty Flaneur being primarily a shoe care service business, we know what works and what doesn’t. These are the products, which we use on a daily basis to deliver our market-leading results.

Once the shoe polishing kit is stocked with creams and waxes, it’s time to find the best methods of applying them and buffing them off. Different brushes have different specialities; for starters we would suggest a Selvyt cloth for application and buffing, a palot brush for every colour of wax you have for the welt area, and a large shoemaker brush for day to day buffing and dusting.

Suede is a terrifically resilient material if treated and maintained correctly. Once again, the chaps at Saphir and La Cordonnerie Anglaise have the finest range of product, from which we have selected the items we believe will help your suede last longer and look better.

Upgrading to the Saphir Medaille d’Or and La Cordonnerie Anglaise ranges of shoe care can be daunting, which is why we have put together what we feel to be the ideal combination of products to make life easier.

The finishing touches that separate the shoe enthusiast from the mere mortal. We have collected together, and in some cases created, what we feel to be oddments to elevate one’s shoe collection and care routine to a new level; something beyond ‘maintenance’ and into ‘care’.
