I own about 30+ pair of high end shoes ($700-2000 a pair) and I was wondering if I could use Pinnacle, Connolly, or CG's leather conditioner?

Most people use Lexol for thier shoes......

$700 to 2,000 for shoes?! I'm speechless. Surely there must be some specialized expensive conditioner out there for you. OY!

My most expensive pair of shoes are my handmade Lucchese boots. I only use Cadillac conditioner on them, they come out looking really nice each time!

I have a few pair of Patrick Cox shoes, I'm afraid to wear them so they've never had to be cleaned before, HAH! I do have to admit that I've used Poorboys S&G on my Paul Smith's though! MAN they were SHINEY!!!

When I read the title I figured hey I can answer this. My 11 year old son has an advanced math summer program he was starting tomorrow. Before bed he brought me his white Air Force 1's and asked if I could clean them up some. Sure no problem I've cleaned a lot of families shoes. Little brush and a mf with Megs Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. Few minutes later they were good to go. Now when I read the thread and seen the shoes in question were $700-2000 a pair I realized I had no help. I didn't even know you could buy shoes for that much lol. I would contact the manufacturers for cleaning recommendations.

Everyone I ask point to Lexol or this one brand (cant remember off the top of my head) that you can only get in England. But nothing special.....

You gotta be kidding? I hope you use them for a job that pays for that very well. I have used Pinnacle leather conditioner on shoes, and it did a fine job.
Note that I don't have any of those glossy wooden shoes, as I test shoe traction before buying it.
