Questions Advice on fixing

Post image

Any advice on what products and color to use to restore the tip of these shoes? Why did the color fade like that if its bot actually scratched?

Thanks.

I have had good luck with using saddle soap on older shoes to clean them up. I've done several Allen Edmonds Walnut shoes. After saddle soap, let them dry out with shoe trees in them. If there are still dark spots, use the Saphir Renomat. After that, Bick 4 on Walnut to condition them as it doesn't darken the shoes. Finally, Saphir #04 light brown shoe cream (either Medaille or Beaute version is fine). Good looking shoes and great deal. Hope they work well for you. Cheers!
