Inspired by this sub, I pulled out my very old pair of burgundy desert boots from the back of the wardrobe which where in need of TLC (they looked like Charlie Chaplin might've worn them tbh).
I reshaped them with shoe trees, and some applications of Bick4 on the most creased areas. A few nights later I applied a bit more Bick, and then some Saphir cream. The right boot has started to come up beautifully. The left one is looking good apart from the vamp (where there were most wrinkles) which, as you can see has, a cloudy look (like when I had just applied cream, before buffing). The only difference between the two is that I applied another lot of polish to the left boot a few nights later, to see if I could make it match the right/look proper.
Any ideas? Have i applied too much cream or conditioner? Rubbed too hard (I don't think I did)? Something else?
