White Shoes

White shoes should only be purchased, if you're determined to keep them white!  So a quality white polish is vital for genuine leathers. The best time to start polishing is before you first wear them. A polish will help to protect against marks and stains easily shown up on white shoes.

Polishing

Polishing should take no more than a few minutes. Follow these simple instructions;

• Apply cream with a soft cotton cloth to both shoes.
• Allow the shoe cream time to dry. (2 - 5 mins)
• Then buff off with a clean polishing cloth.

For new shoes and regular polishing we recommend Coxy Shoe Cream Polish. It's a quality polish that can be used on all fashion white leathers.

For white shoes that are tired looking or have light scuffs and marks the Coxy Super Colour Polish is excellent. It's strong colour pigmentation provides great covering that doesn't rub off.

For sport, outdoor, textile leathers and synthetics ie golf, tennis or bowling shoes Coxy White Sponge On will cover the toughest of marks.

Cleaning

It is always best to identify marks or stains as using the right cleaner first time can be crucial to removing them. Removing marks or stains with the correct cleaner is essential, trying to cover a dark mark with a white polish simply won't work.

Universal Cleaner is a soft cleaner for a general clean and will remove most marks. It can also be used on coloured leathers and suede and nubuck.

Cosmic White is a solvent based cleaner with a whitener added and is excellent for those really tough marks. Apply with a clean cloth to marks, best to do the whole shoe. Allow to dry then use a polish to protect and shine.

Oils (ie from butters, creams, lotions) and grease need special treatment and would be best taken to a qualified shoe repairer for advice.

Another alternative is to paint them white or any colour you desire. Go to Painting Leather & Synthetic to find out more.
