Renapur is a ‘Swiss army knife’ for leather care. There are multiple uses for it across a range of leather goods from boots and shoes to leather jackets and furniture. Here are some ‘case studies’: Cherry Red Dr Martens Boots: I used to do very traditional ‘military style’ polishing, with coloured KIWI and buffing with original DM style boots. But after discovering Renapur a few years back I’d only do this if the boots were scuffed, faded or needed individual care—with Renapur, simply clean with a damp cloth, dry, and spend 10-15 seconds with a Renapur sponge. High shine. Better than traditional polishing. No bugging required. Great! Matte/lightly finished shoes. I have some brown Dr Martens and some cowboy boots that have a matte ‘waxy’ kind of finish. Renapur keeps both looking as they should, deepening the colour, working with the patina, waterproofing, preventing cracking, etc. Here Renapur’s conditioning ability shows. 1970s leather jacket. I found an old Schott biker jacket that hadn’t been used in years by the look of it. The leather was free of actual splits, cracks or holes but was so dry such issues would surely arrive soon if it was worn as normal. This was a slower process. There’s no point slathering on loads of Renapur, however board-dry and arid a jacket seems. Thin layer. Leave. See how it is. Go again. After even one coat the leather was returning to life, 3-4 coats and the leather had probably absorbed all it could and felt as supple as it should. Oh, and squeaks and creaks had gone. A lot of colour came back too, although the patina remained. All in all, it went from ‘jumble shop junk’ to ‘lovely vintage piece’ with Renapur and a sponge. Impressive. 25 year old Chelsea boots. These were bought but my mum when I was a teenager. After some pairs didn’t look great in the shoe shop my Mum suggested some ‘Alfred Sargents’. They were 180 quid! Almost 3x the price. They’ve been polished 100s of times ‘traditionally’, and resoled once, but as they’re only used now than then for ‘best’ all I use now is a Renapur sponge. Keeps them looking great. Renapur seems to give leather what it needs. It will make leather last MUCH longer by preventing cracking and splits. It restores a lot of colour, fixes (minor) scratches, smells nice, lasts a long time, saves time over faffing with other methods. Can’t praise it enough.
