Saphir Médaille d’Or has introduced the Sneaker Care Range which has been developed in cooperation with prestigious luxury brands with the same unparalleled standards as all other Médaille d’Or Products.
Gifted a pair of RM Macquaries from the 90’s that were steeped in 20 years of Rum and Coke spills. Great build quality but the leather was in real trouble, was scalely and flaked off on contact.
Used fine sandpaper to take them back to smooth leather, applied Havana 35 Renovating crème (3x and sanded back) and then Havana 35 Teinture, the Pommadier and conditioner, and then polished with the Bootblack Brush & Cloth set.
They have come up just ridiculously shiny and mirror finished whereas RM’s are now quite matt. So excellent if you want to see your reflection when you look down, but not if you want something a little more subdued and subtle.
Have another pair of hand-me-downs RM’s coming soon that were used as stockman riding boots for years, and years. Whatever went on the horse livery went on the boots, so the next project should be interesting. Might investigate the patina look of the higher end RM’s and see if I can replicate the burnished look. Perhaps Bootblack can assist with the next project??, but they are always my first stop for shoe and leather products.

As good as you would expect, outstanding wax. Excellent service fast postage, highly recommended 👌
A perfect finisher over the black
If you happened to use the wrong or inferior product (silicon wax/polish, because you didn't know better) over the years on your quality leather shoes/boot this is the product to use (think of this cleaner like a master reset to save your leather shoes). Before you go about using it, I recommend doing it in a well-ventilated room, spare couple of hours, elbow strength, leather conditioner, a lot of cotton cloths and highly recommend a pair of shoe tree.
I also highly recommend the rest of Saphir's care product if you happen to be replacing whatever you had on the shelve from your local supermarket.
Buy once cry once. Happy cleaning.
No question about the quality of Pommadier, from the smell and ease of application to the best finish I've had on a shoe. The leather looks vibrant and alive. I'm going to strip back a pair of Paul Smith brogues I bought 12yrs ago and redo them from start with Saphir products. While they still look and feel good I'm betting they'll look better than when I first bought them.
Pate De Luxe 50ml
Good quality and give luxurious feel
Very good product for wet polish shine
If you have quality leatherthis is a must have
High quality waxed laces, great colours and they wear in well, not stiff or bulky..thank you
My 6 year old leather shoes were in pretty bad shape. I’d previously applied a white paint over the top of the leather to try to revive them. This deep cleaner not only took off all the old dirt and grim on the shoes but also took off all the patchy white paint and restored the leather back to its original state. It also worked wonders getting old hardened gum out of the bottom of the shoes.
I heard so much about the Saphir products I had to try it and was happy I got these products. If you want your shoes to look like new for a long time you got to try out Saphir products.
Touch on the pricey side but excellent product
Sleek, stylish and very well made. These shoe trees made an immediate impact on my shoes from the first use.
Simply the best polish that I have ever used! Will be buying a lot more of this. Very happy...
