A Black Friday Exclusive: The New Saphir Edge & Heel Restorer Pen

Black Friday always brings excitement to the world of shoe care — a moment when enthusiasts refresh their kits, rebuild their collections, and treat themselves to tools they’ve long been waiting to try. But this year feels different. This year, we get to introduce something brand new — and exclusively available in the United States only here at The Elegant Oxford.

I’m proud to share one of Saphir’s most anticipated innovations:

The Saphir Beauté du Cuir Edge & Heel Restorer Pen

Available in: Black, Dark Brown, NeutralExclusively sold at The Elegant Oxford in the USA

For years, this professional-grade edge ink has been a quiet secret in European shoemaking workshops — used by craftsmen to restore scuffed edges, revive color, and bring heels and midsoles back to life. But until now, it was never available in a format designed for everyday use.

This new 30 ml pen brings the same professional results into a simple, clean, and elegant tool that anyone can use.

What Makes This Restorer Pen So Special?

1. Professional Ink, Reimagined

The formula is based on a water-based pigment wax ink — not the typical resin-based inks found in cheaper edge dressings. This means:

Better penetration
Natural flexibility
Longer-lasting color
A finish that doesn’t crack

The added wax gives you a refined, natural shine after polishing — the kind of soft gloss that Saphir is known for.

2. Designed for Precision

The tip has been tested extensively for the perfect balance of durability and flow. It’s strong enough to handle rough edges but smooth enough to glide in a clean, controlled line.

Its width is intentionally matched to the edge of a classic gentleman’s shoe — allowing you to recolor a full edge in a single stroke.

3. Beautifully Simple to Use

Shake the pen, run it across the edge, and let it dry. That’s it. Your edges will look fresh, revived, and sharp within minutes.

For those who want Saphir’s signature shine, simply follow with a thin coat of cream or wax polish.

Perfect For…

Quick and precise touch-ups
Restoring scuffed heels and midsoles
Maintaining a polished, well-kept look
Beginners and professionals alike
Anyone who wants their shoes to look cared for — without an hour-long restoration

Honestly, once you use it, you’ll understand why European cobblers rely on this formula so much.

Why I’m Excited to Share It!

Edge and heel care is one of the most overlooked parts of maintaining fine shoes. We polish the uppers, nourish the leather, shine the toes — but the edges? They quietly take the biggest beating.

A freshly restored edge can make a shoe look years younger. It brings back crispness, structure, and elegance — and for the first time, this professional finish is now available in a beautifully simple format, right here in the U.S.

A Final Word

I always say that the small details are what set true shoe aficionados apart — and edge care is one of those quiet details that makes all the difference.

I hope you’ll enjoy using this new tool as much as I have over the past few months. It’s simple, elegant, effective, and — in my opinion — one of the most useful releases we’ve had in years.
