About Boot Black Brand

Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition

Boot Black represents the pinnacle of Japanese shoe care — a fusion of meticulous craftsmanship, scientific precision, and deep respect for leather. Developed by the artisans of Columbus Japan, Boot Black was born from a simple philosophy: that caring for fine leather should be as refined as the craft of making it. Every formulation and tool is designed not just to clean or polish, but to preserve the spirit and beauty of shoes over time.

Made in Japan, Honed by Masters

Each Boot Black product is the result of decades of research and hands-on expertise. From emulsified creams to natural wax polishes, every formula is engineered with a balance of nourishment, protection, and aesthetic depth. Ingredients are carefully selected — lanolin for softness, natural waxes for brilliance, and proprietary emulsions for longevity.
In Japan, this level of detail is not excess; it is a form of respect — for the material, the maker, and the wearer.

A Complete Ritual of Care

The Boot Black range encompasses the entire shoe care ritual:

Clean — with gentle yet effective formulas like the Two-Face Plus Lotion, removing dirt while conditioning the leather.

Condition — using Shoe Creams that replenish colour and suppleness.

Polish — through High Shine and Hard Wax Polishes, designed to achieve a mirror finish worthy of the finest footwear.

Protect — with Waterproof Sprays and Conditioning Oils that shield against daily wear.
Every step reflects Boot Black’s pursuit of balance between form and function — precision chemistry meeting artisanal elegance.Boot Black Europe is operated by Arterton Limited -- the leading garment care and shoe care experts.
