Boot Black
Taito, TokyoSince 1919
Premium shoe care that brings tradition into the present.
Columbus Co., Ltd., headquartered in Taito, Tokyo, has been making shoe creams and finishing products for more than 100 years since its founding in 1919. Boot Black is the Japan-made premium shoe care brand launched in 2008, bringing together all of that knowledge and development expertise. "Boot Black" is an old British term for a person who polishes leather shoes. The company's "top shinists" create uncompromising care products to their own exacting standards.
Soft-Touch Brushes, Shaped by Expert Hands
Commitment 1
A beautiful finish begins with careful brushing. Made with carefully selected horsehair, these brushes have fine, soft bristle tips that gently sweep dust from the surface without scratching the leather. The smoothly shaped handle that fits naturally in the hand was born from the thinking of professional shoe shiners. Every detail, from grip to ease of movement, has been carefully considered.
Gentle Cleaners That Lift Dirt Effectively
Commitment 2
A specially formulated lotion with finely milled particles effectively removes dirt from the surface and deep within the leather while keeping it moisturized. With the clear liquid type, you can actually see the dirt coming off on the cloth. Low-odor and fragrance-free options are also available, so you can add them to your care routine with confidence.
Luster and Suppleness from Naturally Derived Ingredients
Commitment 3
The cream used for finishing has a major influence on the condition of the leather. Boot Black offers a series of creams formulated with carefully selected naturally derived ingredients. They penetrate quickly into the leather fibers, delivering rich nourishment and suppleness. Plant-based oils and waxes are also blended in to create a natural luster and protective layer. Dedicated products for suede and other napped leathers are available too, so you can choose the ideal care for each material.
