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.

Leather is not like synthetic or rubber fibers. It began its life as a covering for an animal. This means it can dry out and crack if it does not receive the necessary oils. This is particularly true if exposed to heat or covered in caked mud. If treated in the right way it remains pliable and soft.

A little preventative maintenance can prevent this from happening. Leather must have lubrication to breathe and there are many different products on the market used for this purpose. Selecting the correct product for the type of leather is very importance. It is also important to use it consistently to ensure that it keeps them from drying out.

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.

One can purchase this product from several online vendors. Prices are reasonable, particularly when compared with other products. It may sometimes difficult to find it in smaller quantities. There are 32oz tins available, containing enough product to last for a long time. However, smaller bottles of 4oz are currently on offer too.

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.

Venetian shoe cream can even be used on old shell shoes that have become very dull and dry after years of use. The fact that its color is neutral means it can be applied to two tone leather shoes without changing the color at all. Its effectiveness and affordability make it a popular choice amongst all shoe lovers. They understand the value of treating leather shoes correctly to ensure continued durability and shine.
