I love this shoe polish!

I did not know about this version of Kiwi's shoe polish until now, and I am very happy I got the chance to try it out! I was so accustomed to using Kiwi's bottled black shoe polish and heel paint, in black, but it was very runny, and tended to make a mess every so often when it would be opened. With...

I have used KIWI shoe products since the early 1970s, before and during then after military service. The current product is not the same quality I came to expect from many years of use. I understand a repackaging effort now and then, but these tins are junk compared to what I know and love. Upon opening the first tin, I could already tell the smell was different, but that was only the beginning. The texture and consistency of the wax was not smooth and consistent, nor did it apply and perform like expected. I can continue the dissapointing description, but it is quite clear this product is sadly no longer the premier shoe care product of old.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Terrible. Cracked and flaked and hour after first wear.

Spent a number of hours applying to my patrol boots and by first break the boots had chipped and started to flake off. Looks like I will need to strip the boot and start over.. not with this product.

Bought to revive a pair of beige leather boots that were looking a ittle scuffed. Did a good job of replenishing the leather and disguising the worn areas.

Best Shoe Polish Ever

During my time in the military (10.5 yrs) I used black Kiwi polish on my combat boots daily!! Which the polish gave them a beautiful, brushed polished clean! Most importantly I also used this polish on my parade boots!!! This polish always gave a beautiful mirrored/glass shine!! I would never use any other polish. I now use this on my doc Martens!!!

I have part of a can of Kiwi black boot polish that was bought in 1969 to polish national guard boots with. It is still slick and creamy. Just like it was brand new. This is an amazing product.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

My family have used this brand for years. Cares for and protects shoes while keeping them clean and smart. The only down side is it's a little messy to use. But over all a great product. A little goes along way so a tin lasts a white too.
