shoe wax

Footwear shine product

Shoe wax is a waxy paste applied to leather footwear to protect, condition, and add shine.

Unlike liquid polish, wax provides a thicker, more durable coating that buffs to a high gloss: He worked the shoe wax into his oxfords until they gleamed.

Also called shoe polish, though wax specifically indicates the paste form rather than cream or liquid varieties.
