How to choose your shade

• Match equal or slightly lighter — never darker. Pigmented cream builds with each coat, so a slightly lighter shade deepens to a perfect match over time; too-dark is hard to undo.
• Unsure? Use Neutral (02). It nourishes and shines without adding colour — the safe default, and best on pale leathers that stain easily.
• Always test first on a hidden area before doing the whole shoe.
• Burnished or antiqued toes are multi-tone — use the lighter base shade over most of the shoe and a darker shade (or wax) only at the toe and heel.
