I own about 30+ pair of high end shoes ($700-2000 a pair) and I was wondering if I could use Pinnacle, Connolly, or CG's leather conditioner?

Most people use Lexol for thier shoes......
 
$700 to 2,000 for shoes?! I'm speechless. Surely there must be some specialized expensive conditioner out there for you. OY!

Gee, and I have like 2 pairs I paid $150 or so for and I feel guilty - I have been called Imelda, but lotsa of 'em came from Target and Payless, not all Nordy's!!
OUCH!
hee hee
Wish I could!!!
 
Ive been thinking about the same myself, but ive never tryed.

But would sugest as with detailing, try a test spot first. and i guess i like to see some pics....

What brand do you buy (italian?)
 
My most expensive pair of shoes are my handmade Lucchese boots. I only use Cadillac conditioner on them, they come out looking really nice each time!

I have a few pair of Patrick Cox shoes, I'm afraid to wear them so they've never had to be cleaned before, HAH! I do have to admit that I've used Poorboys S&G on my Paul Smith's though! MAN they were SHINEY!!!
 
When I read the title I figured hey I can answer this. My 11 year old son has an advanced math summer program he was starting tomorrow. Before bed he brought me his white Air Force 1's and asked if I could clean them up some. Sure no problem I've cleaned a lot of families shoes. Little brush and a mf with Megs Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. Few minutes later they were good to go. Now when I read the thread and seen the shoes in question were $700-2000 a pair I realized I had no help. I didn't even know you could buy shoes for that much lol. I would contact the manufacturers for cleaning recommendations.

Ferragamo Tramezza
Zegna Couture
John Lobb
Silvano Lattazi
Berluti

Stefanobi
Domenico Vacca
Crockett & Jones
Edward Green

Etc.....
 
Everyone I ask point to Lexol or this one brand (cant remember off the top of my head) that you can only get in England. But nothing special.....
 
You gotta be kidding? I hope you use them for a job that pays for that very well. I have used Pinnacle leather conditioner on shoes, and it did a fine job.
Note that I don't have any of those glossy wooden shoes, as I test shoe traction before buying it.
