I read a lot of reviews before purchasing. The product is every bit as good as the best review. Easy to use. I like being able to target areas with the selection of holes in the wood and metal pieces they include. Do tuck the toe down in as far as you can. Don't force the tightening. Let shoe sit for 1- 7 days depending on the type of leather. I made a water spray with a 50-50 ratio of 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and water. It works well dry, too.
