What's in Our Lincoln Polish and how we have been around for almost 100 years
- We’ve lasted this long because our shine lasts longer. We don’t use cheap solvents, aerosols, silicon chemistry, or plastic sponges.
- We use 100% genuine carnauba wax and beeswax in our polishes with more wax content than any competitor.
- The results speak for themselves: a high-gloss shine that goes on evenly, fills in scuffs and scratches, and protects against moisture and wear.
What our polish does
Goes on even with high gloss shine
Lincoln shoe polish is renowned for its ability to provide a high gloss shine that goes on effortlessly. With its specially formulated blend of quality waxes and oils, Lincoln shoe polish glides smoothly onto the surface of your shoes, ensuring an even and consistent application. Whether your footwear is made of leather, vinyl, or other materials, this polish adheres exceptionally well, allowing you to achieve a brilliant and long-lasting shine with minimal effort. Embrace the tradition of caring for your shoes with Lincoln, as it not only enhances their appearance but also protects and nourishes the leather, keeping your footwear looking impeccable and well-maintained.
Colors & Fills in Scratches
Lincoln shoe polish boasts an extensive color range that caters to various shoe shades, providing a perfect match for black, brown, burgundy, and more. Beyond its impressive shine, this polish's rich and creamy formula excels at concealing scratches and scuffs on leather shoes, rejuvenating their appearance and extending their lifespan. With Lincoln shoe polish, you can effortlessly maintain a polished and refined look for your footwear, ensuring they always look their best.
Protects
Lincoln shoe polish goes beyond its remarkable shine and color-matching capabilities; it also offers superior protection for your footwear. Its premium blend of waxes and oils creates a protective barrier on the surface of the leather, guarding against moisture, dirt, and other environmental elements. This protective layer not only helps prevent water damage and stains but also shields the leather from drying out and cracking over time. By using Lincoln shoe polish regularly, you ensure that your shoes remain in top-notch condition, maintaining their luster and durability for the long haul. Trust in Lincoln to not only enhance the appearance of your shoes but also to safeguard them, making it an essential part of any shoe care routine.
Super easy to use
Apply
Take a small amount of shoe polish on the soft cloth and rub it onto the shoes using circular motions. Work the polish into the leather, covering the entire surface evenly. Be sure to pay extra attention to scuffed or discolored areas. Allow the polish to dry for a few minutes to let it set.
Brush
After the polish has dried, use a clean cloth to buff the shoes vigorously. The buffing process will create a shiny and polished finish, bringing out the natural luster of the leather. Continue buffing until you achieve the desired shine. For added protection, you can apply a waterproofing spray designed for leather shoes.
Shine
With these simple steps, your shoes should be shining like new and ready to complement any outfit. Regularly shining your shoes will not only enhance their appearance but also help to maintain their quality and extend their life.
About Lincoln Brand
Proudly Made in America Since 1925
- Since 1925, shoe care professionals the world over have trusted Lincoln Shoe Polish. We made our name with our classic Marine Cordovan polish, trusted by generations of US Marines to deliver the classic military “spit shine.” Our polishes are standard-issue at police academies and military boot camps nationwide. Many of our customers tell us they will use nothing else.
- John Lincoln first developed his innovative shoe polish in his San Francisco kitchen during the 1920s. Today, we are proud to build on that heritage. Our products have always been made right here in California, meeting the state's strict standards for environmental safety and our own strict standards for quality and consistency. We produce everything in small batches, using formulas and ingredients our founder, John Lincoln, would easily recognize. In fact, we still use one of his dye machines to blend certain colors.
- We’ve lasted this long because our shine lasts longer. We don’t use cheap solvents, aerosols, silicon chemistry, or plastic sponges. We use genuine carnauba wax and beeswax in our polishes, and 100% pure neatsfoot oil in our leather conditioner. The results speak for themselves: a high-gloss shine that goes on evenly, fills in scuffs and scratches, and protects against moisture and wear.

Best wax for shoes I used to use this in the Marine Corps back in 1968 and I’ve been looking for it for a long time and finally found it. It works great.

Perfect cordovan polish. Shined up my shoes to that deep red that I expected. Applied easily like any other Lincoln Wax. It has a screw top lid, that's a little different than the keyed twist type I've been used to. Overall, great wax.

I bought this leather polish to revive a well loved pair of brown boots.The application was smooth, non streaking and the color was a rich brown. It buffed out to a nice shine and I had a beautiful pair of "rejuvenated" boots.

I have Irish Setter Wingshooters (same tan leather as the Ashby) and this polish is really, really close to the original color. Close enough that on your feet no one else would notice. The only places that do not match well are where there were scrapes and bare leather it came out a little bit darker. I was probably supposed to use some conditioner first to help it match, but even the bare leather is close enough that others will not notice. Otherwise this is an excellent polish and shines up really well.

Small size can that is expensive I will not pay almost ten dollars for this little can ever again.I will be looking elsewhere for a better price.So if you want a good polish that doesn't contain chemicals that are bad for leather this is in my opinion the best choice. If you want a polish that actually stains leather this is the best I have found so far. It has a nice black color that has a nice luster and shine. Water resistance this polish will help. Performance wise I really like this brand it saves time and goes on nicely. This polish does not go bad it will get dry but just leave it in the direct sunlight with the lid on or warm with a heat gun.Before applying only apply to clean dust free surfaces. Think of this as painting clean and do your prep work first. Keep dust, dirt and grit out of your polish. Wear gloves this will stain your hands and skin.Uses-I use it on boots, belts, jackets, vests, pants, riding chaps, sheaths, wallets, luggage, bags, collars, leashes, gloves, saddlebags, and whatever leather needs a good polish. I have used this polish on black vinyl upholstery many times it works great for that use sparingly. Try it on a thoroughly cleaned black vinyl car dash or black vinyl top. Some black plastics like plastic trim this will make it black. Rubber this stuff works on rubber too be careful it can create a slick surface. Just use a little bit it goes on really nice its not too thick or too thin.If you get a scratch or chip in a black paint job fill the chips in with this polish. If you are dealing with a deep scratch or chip apply in layers. I have used this polish to touch up black paint for years it is a trick I learned from a body shop.You can get a very shiny gloss that lasts just take your time.

I have known about Lincoln Stain Wax for years, but I have avoided it in favor of softer waxes. Recently one of my older Allen Edmonds shoes got some stains on it. The softer waxes were not helpful. I then used a small amount of Saphir Renomat to remove the stain. After the leather had dried (about 30 minutes), I applied the brown Lincoln Stain Wax. The Lincoln Stain Wax filled in the leather nicely, hydrating the area that had been treated, and filling in the color perfectly. I then noticed that not only did the previously stained area look good, but that the entire shoe looked better than it had in years. Some mild rainwater stains were removed, and the color of the leather is now uniform and the leather looks almost like new. The more that I applied and then polished off, the better the shoe looked. I am now sold on the Lincoln Stain Wax for my shoes. The wax is fairly solid, but you don't need much to polish your shoes. Those who prefer to work with softer waxes might not like the more solid Lincoln Stain Wax, but personally I now think that the little bit of inconvenience in working with it is far outweighed by the superior shine and reconditioning of the leather. I suspect that it also provides superior protection from wet weather.

Not only will this wash your shoes, make them nice and shiny and protect them from moisture, the shoe polish also stains your leather black keeps it looking really good.

I have two navy leather chairs that are 15 years old, and in fairly good condition. The leather is dulling.I decided to try this shoe polish on my chairs. It worked like a charm. The polish covered the scuffs and dried well. I just had to buff the leather once the polish dried. There was no transfer to clothes afterwards.

If you're looking for shoe polish for your tan shoes look no farther – this is the stuff you want to get.Not sure why, but finding true Tan shoe polish seems to be exceedingly difficult, and nothing will rune you tan shoes worse than attempting to polish them with a light brown or slightly off colour – say good buy to your tan shoes and hello to your light brown shoes – AhgggSuffice it to say if you've been searching for proper tan shoe polish – look no farther – this is the real deal, and comes as depicted.

Lincoln stain wax is a really good polish. It first of all smells really good, the black is very deep in color and shoes shine to respectable lustre in only a coat or two. The polish holds up better than most when banged around and is more resistant to scuffing and flaking, but in my opinion, Lincoln is not better than Kiwi at producing the jazziest of spit shines. If you are using these on dress shoes with a shoe brush, you will most likely be very satisfied and Lincoln may be a better choice due to its resistance to scuffing; Kiwi is really dainty stuff that scuffs easily. If you are spit shining your shoes and have a decent technique, you will pass inspection and you can go longer between touch-ups. That said, you will have a harder time 'reading the year on a dime in your shoes' with the Lincoln than if you used the other brand. I have both - I use Lincoln about once a week on my every days and reserve Kiwi for a mirror shine top coat when I need to amp up the lustre. This could be a matter of preference and technique as I have seen great looking shoes polished by exclusively Lincoln and exclusively Kiwi. A little polish goes a very long way. The shipper of the Lincoln even included instructions on how to get the polish back to the right consistency to overcome for temperature changes during shipping/storage which I thought was pretty cool.My advice if you need black polished shoes, buy a can of each, a $12 investment once in your lifetime will cover every shoe polish requirement you will likely ever have. (I posted a few quick pictures of my shoes so you can visualize what I described - the shine is good and deep but not quite as mirrored as I can get with a topcoat of Kiwi.) Good luck.
