SAPHIRNatural Horsehair Brush - Shoe Polish Brush for Cleaning, Polishing & Buffing Leather Shoes - 7" (18cm)

I use this to wipe the dirt, dust, and grime off my Allen-Edmonds dress boots after each wear. I use this brush, too, to finalize the buffing after applying the Sapphir Renovator conditioner with a polishing cloth. The fine bristles of the brush help work the conditioner into the grain of the leather. The bristles are soft and gentle, even more so than when you pet a horse, that it will not damage.Overall, this is a high-quality brush.PhilosophyI find shoe care to be a welcome reprieve in a world filled with people constantly rushing to and fro; pushing and clamoring over each other; and getting impatient with one another. I take the time to reflect on life's journey or just the trip from which I have returned during the few minutes it takes to replace the shoe trees and brush off the dirt and grime. Polishing and waxing my shoes, I instantly see the fruits of my labor. I appreciate, too, looking good, as the outer image we hold of ourselves is a reflection of our inner image. In other words, bring more mindfulness and appreciation into your life.

If you have high quality shoes or of a bent to like shoes with a shine, then a high quality shoe brush is a necessity. I now have several and they will passed down to the next generation, as it will in all probably take several generations before this brush wares out. You will lose a few brush hairs initially. For most of us this is a once in a lifetime purchase. I have two - one for very dark colored shoes and one for much lighter colors.

When my shoes are dusty from hiking on dusty trails, this brush works great for cleaning them. Bristles are fine and dense, this is a very good quality brush.

I bought this brush for use when maintaining my navy shoes and boots.It is as described.Would buy another if/when I need one

In an effort to take better care of my leather boots, I purchased this brush since it was the same brand as a highly-rated Saphir conditioner I started using. So far, I've been happy with the brush, which I use to buff my boots after applying conditioner. The bristles are very soft on the leather, and brushing gave my boots a nice clean shiny texture. The pic above shows a pair of boots after buffing. The brush seems like it's good quality and I'm optimistic that it will last.

I use this product for cat fur removal off couches and it works great

I expected more out of the Saphir name, this brush drops hair like crazy everytime I'm shining my shoes and boots, it leaves hairs everywhere.

I really like this brush. It works well and doesn't shed. I've bought cheaper brands and I've regretted it. I wouldn't trust my expensive shoes with anything else. Anyone who says otherwise is probably lying and paid to write bad reviews. Saphir is a brand you can trust. I'd buy it even if it cost a little more.
