The products seem to do their work well. One only knows with time how well protected something is. So to give an opinion now, so soon after use, wouldn't be honest. The shoe must be worn in many different weathers and for a fairly long time. Now, one thing I can say is that the wax definitely darkness the leather. It doesn't go back to original color. So beware if your shoe is of a lighter color. The color of two of my shoes changed from yellow to dark mustard, and a light pink changed to a darker tan. It's been close to a month and the color has not returned to its original shade. BTW why include size and fit in this particular survey. That makes no sense!
