Proper leather shoes

Once upon a time, the cobbler’s cream from Timpsons was available in large tubs for staff. According to all the guys I know there it is no longer on the stock sheet to order. Gutting as it is magical. I have used it for years on lots of leather to good effect and little remorse. It goes a long way so a small pot will last.

Mum had a decades old dried up satchel that showed similar blooming. I believe that I used saddle soap, and then some Carr’s leather oil. It is sticky messy stuff so I’d definitely try with cobbler’s cream first, before trying Carr’s.
