Taking care of patent leather shoes is a breeze, but they require a unique touch compared to regular calfskin options. Those who have admired that stunning glossy finish, looking at a shoe crafted with a special polyurethane and acrylic coating is keen. Although traditional black patent leather is a fundamental choice for dance and formal footwear, this stylish material is also well-suited for smaller items, such as wallets.
A notable characteristic of the Tangerine 3 Patent Black Belgian Loafers is their striking luster. But don't overlook the sock choice to complement an elegant look at formal events. Opt for sleek silk socks that rise above the calf, ideally in timeless shades like burgundy or black. It's the perfect match for that next sophisticated event or an evening at the opera.
Although these shoes boast a durable finish that doesn't demand constant cleaning, the eye-catching luster can fade over time. The good news? Reviving that radiant shine is as simple as applying Saphir's Vernis Rife for just a few minutes.
Speaking of cleaning, Saphir's Vernis Rife is the ultimate solution for patent leather items. Its black variant features a subtle pigment that effectively tackles minor scuff marks, ensuring your footwear maintains a pristine appearance. So, step out in style with these easy patent leather shoe care efforts.
Step 1. Wipe Away Any Dirt or Dust Using a Moist Cloth
Patent leather shoes can be refreshed with Saphir Vernis Rife Patent Leather Cleaner. Start by grabbing a moist (but not soaking) chamois. This will be a trusty sidekick. Gently wipe away any dust or debris that may have settled on shoes, revealing their beautiful shine underneath.
Step 2. Keep Footwear in Position and Shape
Insert cedar shoe trees into shoes to preserve their shape and soak up moisture. If the shoes have laces or any other decorative elements, take them off beforehand. Give those details special attention by cleaning them separately for a thorough refresh.
Step 3. Use the Vernis Rife Cleaner for Patent Leather
Introducing the Saphir Vernis Rife Cleaner. It's a go-to solution for restoring the stunning shine of all patent leather items. This specially crafted formula works wonders on one's favorite footwear. Grab the included chamois and generously apply a thick layer of the cleaner over the entire surface to get started. Watch as the loafers regain their glossy luster in no time.
Step 4. Wait 3 to 5 Minutes for The Cleaner to Dry
After using the Vernis Rife Patent Leather Cleaner, one might notice a subtle white film on your shoe as it dries. Don't worry - this is a sign that the shoes are being revitalized. Once onto the next step, there's no need to be worried about the haze.
Step 5. Polish the Patent Leather Until it Has a Brilliant Shine
The final touch is where the magic happens. Grab a soft cotton chamois and buff the patent leather cleaner to a stunning high shine. This step removes any residual Vernis Rife from the shoes and brings out an incredible, glossy and shiny finish. Focus on the back at the top of the heel and the tip a little more.
Final Thoughts

Always opt for a cedar shoe tree kit when putting on shoes. It makes the process smoother but also protects the shape of shoes. And don't forget to give the loafers a comfy home.
