I enjoy polishing my shoes. I would also polish your oxfords too. No problem!

@@avrahamshrybman3573 As do I. I tend to put a bit of a heavy layer(s) of polish, so I end up doing more cleaning of my shoes than polishing.

Love it !

thank you!

I like to condition my shoes with Saphir Renovateur creme. I actually don't use any polish or color cremes, just the Reno creme. I used to like mirror polishing all my shoes but they would inevitably crack or scuff and repolishing to a mirror shine or having to strip the polish and repolish was a real pain in the donkey. Saphir products are the best in the industry and the Renovateur creme is capable is lightly polishing without looking too shiny. Treated shoes just look plush and supple. When I apply the creme, I just use my fingers and dab little dots all over the shoe to ensure an even coat, then I just lightly rub all over the shoes surface until the creme is absorbed in the leather's pores. After about 15 minutes of waiting, I'll brush quickly with a horse hair brush to remove excess creme and shine the leather.

living in third world country, Renovateur is very economically inefficient. if you got more than 10 pairs the cost per use is significantly higher than if you would just use mink oil

I think the saddle soap will be fine I wouldn't do the cream on the suede. just make sure they dry all the way and use a suede brush. but I would do a little more research

Could I do tier 1 with my maison margiela gats? Or would I do something different cause of the suede
