Marla Shoe Polish White 50ml – Beeswax Shoe Cream – feed, protect and bring white leather back

White leather is the most rewarding and the most unforgiving thing in a wardrobe. Kept clean it looks immaculate; left alone for a month it turns grey at the toe and yellow along the sole edge. This white shoe polish from Marla is the sensible, affordable answer, and at 50ml it costs less than a coffee and a bun.

It is a maintenance cream rather than a hard wax, built on beeswax with the pigment worked through it. That combination is what allows it to do three things at once: it feeds the leather so it stays supple, it leaves a protective layer that keeps dirt and moisture out, and it restores the colour where the white has gone dull or scuffed.

Marla make this in a genuinely enormous run of fifty shades, which is the reason I stock the range. Whatever odd colour of leather someone walks in with, there is usually a Marla to match it. White is the one that gets asked for most in spring, when everyone digs out their summer shoes and remembers what a winter in a cupboard does to them.

Application could not be simpler and takes about three minutes a pair. Brush, apply thinly, wait a quarter of an hour, buff. My honest advice with white in particular is to do it little and often. A thin coat every couple of weeks keeps white leather looking new far more effectively than a heavy rescue job twice a year.

Why choose Marla Shoe Polish in White?

• Restores white leather that has gone dull. Pigment plus beeswax puts the brightness back into faded toe caps and scuffed edges rather than simply glossing over them.
• Feeds the leather with beeswax. This is a cream, so it works into the fibres and keeps them supple. Leather that stays flexible does not crack along the vamp crease.
• Leaves a protective layer. Once buffed, the wax film keeps everyday dirt and light moisture out, which is precisely what white leather needs most.
• Suitable for all types of smooth leather. Shoes, boots, bags and belts in smooth finished leather all take it happily, so one small tub covers several jobs.
• Part of a fifty-shade range. If you own leather in an awkward colour, the Marla range almost certainly covers it, which makes matching far less of a lottery.
• Excellent value for a 50ml tub. Applied in thin coats as intended, one tub lasts a very long time. There is no reason to let white leather go grey at this price.

How to use Marla Shoe Polish in White

1. Brush the dirt off your shoes first, and let them dry completely if they are damp. White leather shows any grit you grind into it.
2. Take a little polish onto a polishing cloth or a rub-in brush and apply a thin, even layer over the leather.
3. Work the polish in with small circular motions, paying attention to the toe cap and the sole edge where white fades first.
4. Leave it to dry for about fifteen minutes so the beeswax and pigment settle into the leather.
5. Buff it out with a polishing cloth or an applicator brush to bring up an even, clean shine.

Frequently asked questions

Will white shoe polish leave chalky marks on my trousers?

Not if you buff it properly. The key is a thin coat, a full fifteen minutes of drying time and then a firm buff with a cloth to lift any surplus pigment. Thick coats that have not been buffed are what cause transfer.

How do I keep white leather white for longer?

Little and often beats occasional heroics. Brush after each wear, wipe marks off while they are fresh, and apply a thin coat of this every couple of weeks in the months you are actually wearing the shoes.

Is it suitable for white leather trainers?

On smooth leather trainers it works nicely, particularly on scuffed toe caps and leather panels. Keep it off mesh, knit and canvas sections, and off the foam midsole, where a dedicated midsole product does a better job.

How long should I wait between coats?

Give the first coat a full fifteen minutes and a light buff before deciding whether you need another. Two thin coats give a much better and more even finish on white than one heavy one ever will.
