Read Cadet Direct Reviews

Developed specially for the US Military but now available in the UK! Never bull your toe caps again with Shape Up Instant. Shape Up gives a long lasting, mirror-like finish to your black parade shoes or boots. The plastic polymer finish won't crack or peel on stiffened leather such as toecaps and heels, or beeswaxed leather and does not require rubbing or brushing. Simple to apply, dries in minutes. Unlike lacquer finishes, Shape Up doesn't damage leather and can be easily removed using a soft cloth with either methylated spirit or an acetone-based spirit (e.g. nail varnish remover). Size: supplied in 48 ml bottle with applicator. Colour: black.

This product, what a nightmare. Had a massive inspection and this product could of been better. Hard work. It looked very good for about 10mins then it started cracking. I had to then remove the product with nail varnish remover and apply normal polish. Luckily I read the instructions.

It’s really good for the price. I know it's cheating but it made my cadet boots amazing. Does the job.

Very good overall, however it is very likely anyone inspecting them will know you have "cheated", note that this is generally by when its drying it doesn't dry completely smooth. I'm not sure how to avoid this but other than that it has a lasting shine, you will need to wipe dust and such from the shoe though.

I needed shiny shoes. The only ones that were comfortable were leather, but a dull finish. I found the shoe shine from Cadet Direct, and applied it. Due to the grain it wouldn't have been a 'bull' shine, but they still came up brilliantly, and perfect for what I needed. Even after wearing, they didn't scuff, and still looked great.

This product is absolutely brilliant. It gives an immediate shine with no hassle whatsoever. It takes away hours of polishing, it’s a quick easy win that looks extremely professional. I will never use another product after using this.

Just 5 mins and shoes done. No hassle, no problems. Only minus is the polish will crack when in places where the leather bends but these are my parade shoes so I can always repaint them. Don't forget to keep brush top tightly screwed to prevent it drying out...
