Dr Martens crap leather repair/Saphir Shoe Polish
So, everyone knows about DM's notoriously plastic coated leather that peels and chips away, see pic attached, not mine but how they look. Normally I'd have just used Kiwi polish but I left that in another country and have to re-order and this time wanted to get it right.
I was thinking of ordering a black Saphir Juvacur, as I've read online that it's one of their best products for recolouring and they're a better brand than Kiwi, however the few guides I could find and their own website seem to recommend half their product range for the same few purposes. But I feel like that's the best type and just want a second opinion.
Another question is, is that as much of a shoe cream as it is a shoe polish? Like, will it still take care of the leather, or do I need another product for that on top of it? And would that even be wise to do, the only shoe-care product I have here now is a colourless "leather care cream" (translated) which helps somewhat but, obviously not for cracked away miscoloured leather.
I hope someone here can help and has had experience with these sort of boots (Note, mine aren't the super shiny patent leather kind btw, just a normal made in England kind)
