Instant deep shine. Premium multi-wax formula nourishes and protects leather.Restores color to badly damaged and scuffed shoes.
The polish you'll want is Cordovan polish. That's if you want to keep the color true as possible.
That being said, I own a pair of ox-blood shoes and recently experimented using brown shoe polish. It lightened the color a bit and it turned out extremely well. They're now my primary shoes for almost everyday wear.
Thanks, I'm in the US though, so the shipping cost may not be worth it. I'm probably going to go with Kiwi's Cordovan wax polish. Based on reviews the shade is very close to burgundy.
I'm unfamiliar with the neutral wax polish. How does it compare to a pigmented polish?
Does know of a particular polish that would go with cordovan 1ks? I really don't want to destroy them with a wrong color polish or something. I've been thinking about this: http://www.amazon.com/Kiwi-Cordovan-Shoe-Polish-1-1/dp/B000MLBCU4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376195487&sr=8-1&keywords=cordovan+shoe+polish
For boots, Obenauf's LP is great. It'll darken the leather a bit, but it works wonders even on relatively cheap leather. Saddle Soap is another good option to consider, Kiwi makes one that you should be able to buy on Amazon.
As for polishing, you'll need some sort of polishing kit. This one should have everything you'll need except for polish. The Bostonians look burgundy, so this is probably your best bet. If they're not burgundy, then get whichever color matches them the closest.
Kiwi has Cordovan, Oxblood, and Mahogany. I'm not sure about the differences, but I think "oxblood" is usually a little brighter, and "mahogany" sounds like it should be more brownish.
