The Advantages Of Venetian Shoe Cream

By Eula Nichols


Venetian shoe cream is a favorite of shoemakers and wearers alike. The product contains natural oils and waxes as well as cleaning agents. This means it cleans, conditions and shines. It has been available since 1907 and is made by a small firm called C. A. Zoes based in Chicago.

The treatment of leather is unlike that of synthetic fibers. It was the skin of an animal and as such was supplied with oils while the animal was living. Once it has been made into shoes, it can dry out if it is not lubricated. This is exacerbated by heat and caked mud. When dirty, brittle leather is continually flexed, the fibers break down and it cracks.

In order to prevent cracking, preventative maintenance is imperative. Lubrication is necessary for the leather to breathe. A decision about which product to use may be difficult as there are so many available at local and online stores. Bear in mind that not all products are equal and also that there are different types of leather, requiring particular products. Some products are more suited to certain types of leather than others. Another factor to bear in mind is that application needs to be done on a consistent basis to achieve optimum results.

This particular product works on kid, calfskin and patent leather and is not recommended for suede or nubuck leathers. A recommendation from Horween Leather Company for use on their Shell Cordovan and Chromexcel leathers has gone a long way towards making it popular. This company has set the standard for high quality leathers and so this recommendation carries much weight.

The product is available from online vendors. Buying such a product online and having it shipped, is still relatively inexpensive in comparison with the cost of some products of this kind. There is a 32oz tin with a great retro look available for those with an addiction to shoes and many shoes to polish. However, there are also smaller bottles of 5oz available as well.

The consistency of the product makes it simple to apply. Only a small amount is needed to create an even layer over the shoes. The contents need to be shaken before application and any surface dirt should be removed from the shoes. Application with a soft cloth is suggested but some people prefer to use their fingertips to work it in. After applying it, simply let it sit then wipe it down and buff to a light sheen using a soft, dry cloth.

Brogue holes can become clogged when applying this product. This does not present a problem as long as it is not left on for too long and comes out easily when brushed. Leaving it for a few minutes after application gives it a chance to penetrate the leather.

Even older shell shoes that have been dull for years and might be rather dry, respond to treatment with this product. Its neutral color means that it works well on all colors of leather and this is helpful when it comes to two tone shoes. Venetian shoe cream offers you the opportunity to treat your shoes and boots they way they deserve to be treated at a reasonable cost. They will thank you for this and look great for many years to come.
