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.

“It came earlier than expected which is good. It was perfect for my boots and makes a mirror like shine very quickly and didn't give me any problems at all.”

“Okay so wasn't sure at first as I was researching online for another known bulling product but was unable to purchase it direct from the UK when I needed it. As a result I took the chance and ordered this product and WOW!! really really was impressed and pleased. I also saved on the cost compared to the product I was originally looking at. The product is so simple to use. Obviously you need to remove as much polish as possible then apply this product direct and wait a few minutes for it to dry then depending how thick a layer you want just keep applying layers. I applied about six coats as i was applying it to boots and wasn't sure if it was likely to get damaged due to the kind of wear boots go through however after using the boots for continued work for four days the product was still perfectly intact - all that was required was a wipe over. So was I pleased with this product 100% Yes. Would I suggest buying it 100% Yes. My only advice is take your time when applying the product and I'm not talking about hours the more time you take the better the end result. II will be buying more soon.”

“I don't really understand the review from Kai Davies. I've been using this product since the 1990's. I bought my first bottle in the PRI shop in Germany and have been relying on it ever since. It's easy to apply and goes on smooth. It also dries quickly. It is definitely water resistant - the rain doesn't effect it at all. Furthermore if you want to get it off I use a little nail varnish remover dabbed on cotton wall. One other thing - don't shake it as it introduces bubbles. These will disappear if the bottle is left on a shelf for half an hour or so.”

“Ideal for those occasions when you want a good shine but cannot justify spending the time and effort on getting a good parade shine.”

“I paid for this because I needed something that would work straight out of the box and I wasn't dissapointed. The instructions tell you to remove the old polish using spirits and a soft cloth but I just applied it over Kiwi and it worked wonders. No more bulling for me. Don't shake it as you get bubbles. If you do just leave the bottle to rest for an hour and the bubbles dissapear on their own.”

“Cannot beat this as a single application product. Morello gives a better finish but takes 3-5 applications, this is essence for a one shot deal.”

“I was recommended this by a friend as I bought new boots on the Friday before Remembrance parade and I think it's brilliant.”
