Shoeboy’s Mustard Shoe Cream 093 – 50ml Beeswax Cream for Smooth Leather

Description

Shoeboy’s Mustard Shoe Cream 093 – a German cream for confident yellow leather

Mustard leather is a brave choice and a rewarding one, but it is also very hard to keep looking sharp. Ordinary neutral polish dulls it down towards khaki, and a brown cream kills it outright. What you actually need is a mustard shoe cream with real yellow pigment in it, and that is exactly what Shoeboy’s have put in this little 50ml glass jar.

Shoeboy’s is a German shoe-care house with a serious following among people who look after good footwear. This cream is built on beeswax and other refined waxes, with a colour intensifier, conditioning agents and a waterproofing agent blended in. It is designed for premium smooth leathers – the sort of calf and boxcalf you find on decent Derbys, loafers, monk straps and quality handbags.

The 50ml jar looks small until you use it. A cream this well pigmented only needs a thin film, so one jar comfortably covers years of polishing for a single pair, and the glass jar keeps the contents from drying out between sessions.

Why choose Shoeboy’s Mustard Shoe Cream 093?

• Proper mustard pigment – a warm yellow-ochre that refreshes mustard, ochre and saffron leathers instead of dragging them towards brown or grey.
• Beeswax and refined waxes – the wax blend nourishes and protects at the same time, so the leather stays supple and the finish stays even.
• Waterproofing agent included – a built-in water repellent means every polish also adds a little protection against rain and splashes.
• Keeps TEX linings breathing – the formula is designed not to block the breathability of membrane-lined footwear, so waterproof-breathable shoes keep working as intended.
• Made for premium smooth leather – this is a fine, evenly milled cream rather than a heavy paste. On good calf leather that difference is immediately visible.

How to use Shoeboy’s Mustard Shoe Cream 093

1. Brush loose dirt away with a soft brush or wipe the uppers with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the leather with a smooth leather cleaner to lift off old polish and any waterproofing layer that would block the cream.
3. Let the shoes rest and dry, then wipe them over with a soft cloth.
4. Take a small amount of cream on a cloth and work it in with circular movements, building the amount until you reach the depth of colour you want.
5. Work extra carefully around the toe cap and the flex creases, where mustard leather fades fastest.
6. Let the shoes rest after polishing, away from heat and direct sunlight.
7. Buff with a horsehair brush and finish with a cloth. For the best protection, follow up with an impregnating spray.

Frequently asked questions

Will mustard 093 work on ochre or saffron shoes?

Yes. It is a warm yellow with an earthy ochre base, so it sits well on mustard, ochre, saffron and darker yellow leathers. As always, test on the inside heel first, and remember that a cream blends with the colour already in the hide rather than replacing it.

Is this suitable for suede or nubuck?

No. This is a cream for smooth, finished leather and it will mat down the nap of suede or nubuck. For those materials use a suede and nubuck reviver instead.

Should I use a waterproofing spray as well?

The cream already contains a water-repellent agent, which is plenty for everyday wear. If your shoes see heavy rain, a separate impregnating spray applied after polishing adds a further layer of protection without changing the colour.
