Product Insights
Walter's Leather Polishing Set bundles a horsehair brush that lasts decades and is favored by professional shoemakers with two self-leveling waxes—neutral for shine or black for scuff correction on black leather only. The brush's soft bristles prevent micro-scratches, and brisk brushing warms the wax for streak-free shine, while the wax layer cleans, repels water, and shields against scuffs. At $20 CAD, the kit costs about one-third less than buying the brush and two tins separately, making it a cost-efficient, travel-ready solution for smooth, untreated leather only, backed by 130 years of heritage.

- Brush
- Horsehair brush is gentle and safe for delicate smooth leather.
- Care instructions
- Clean the horsehair brush after use by wiping off excess polish with a cloth, washing it with mild soap and warm water, rinsing thoroughly, and air-drying it bristle-side down; with this care a well-built horsehair brush can last decades.

- Cost efficiency
- The $20 CAD kit includes a horsehair brush that retails alone for ~$10 USD.
- Dark brown leather use

- Use beyond shoes
- This set is suitable for smooth leather items beyond shoes, including bags, belts, and jackets.
