Question 1

Am i better off going with the neutral color? Or the fawn color, to try and match my English tan/light brown wallet?

Accepted Answer

It depends upon whether or not you need to renew the color.  I would choose Saphirp Renovateur over neutral in that case.  It does more to hydrate and condition the leather.  Light brown is what I use on my walnut Allen Edmonds shoes and that will work for your purpose as well.

Question 2

Is this worth the extra cost?  I already have a cordovan polish cream from Allen Edmonds.

Accepted Answer

This is a great product but it is no better than Allen Edmonds.

Question 3

How often should you use this? I thought cordovan was known for being low maintenance and pretty much indestructible.

Accepted Answer

I would agree with your statement that cordovan really just needs a good brushing and because of the oils in the leather responds well to just a good brushing.  I mainly use rarely (maybe a couple times a year) for nicks/scratches and any water marks using the tiniest amount. And from what I understand cordovan doesn't do well with too much cream and or polish and actually less is way better.   I specially chose Saphir as opposed to say Kiwi because Saphir claims to have more natural solvents, etc and plus cordovan is expensive and I figured if I can afford an expensive pair of shoes I should also correlate and use a well known premium care product.  My shoes shine to a mirror finish with just a brushing and a tack cloth.

Question 4

Is the black color only for black shell cordovan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As this has pigment in it so it will probably darken any other colour. It is a different story if you are trying to do some shading on the toe or heel of a  brown, dark brown, navy or burgundy shoe. Then you can use it. 
Please remember this is a cream polish not a dye so it will add the colour on a non black shoe slowly but it will add colour.
