Curious...if the product is made in france, why are the directions in a different language than french and/or english? just where is this stuff made?

Um. The bottles of this that I have are wearing back labels in French, with instructions in French and indicate “made in France” by Avel, like all Saphir products. Maybe the bottle you’re looking at was made for export to Asia? Quite possible. By the way, it works well. It’s top level stuff, like all Saphir products.

Was going to get rubber sole protectors for gucci loafers but someone suggested this. Does this really protect the soles of leather shoes that well?

Definitely get the rubber sole protectors

Is this safe for all soles regardless of color?

I believe it is. I have never had it alter the color of any sole I put it on. I only put it on bottom of sole, not the sides, but would expect the same outcome.

If it's made of vegetable oil, does it expire?

Um ... Not that I've seen. Seems to be valid and useable as long or longer than the Saphir creme and paste. All good!!

It makes the leather sole of my used cowboy boots look good and will waterproof.

It is a bit pricey, but wanted to make my boots looking good. It is just one of several products I purchased to make my boots look almost new. I applied it several times, the worn leather soles drank it up. I applied it three times and let each application dry before the next coat.

Close the lid

It doesn't have a way when if you leave it open, will prevent half of the liquid to fall off... I was careful, but I guess you need to be extra, extra careful!!! The product is great, just like anything from Saphir, but I wish they put a safer way to keep the liquid in the bottle...

Restored two 50 year old leather insoles

Before treatment, both pair of shoes sat in my closet for years and the footbeds, even though they have been broken in and conformed to the contours of my feet, were very hard and dry,. I did not have the heart to get rid of them. After several application, each with proper drying times, both pair of shoes became softer and comfortable to wear The first pair are early 1970’s US Army oxfords. The second are all leather 1970’s Mason Chelsea shoes that were bought from my uncle, a sales attendant at the Mason Shoes store, in Chippewa Falls, WI, which is the original home of the company. I have not used other competitor products for comparison, but I can vouch for Saphir Sole Guard to restore the life of leather footbeds. Some online instructions said to use the product sparingly which I did several time, otherwise one only need to use it at most twice a year. Although expensive, it is worth it and it extends the life of leather shoes. Today’s disposal culture has lost how truly leather shoes can be so comfortable.
