I have just seen an advert for Saphir's Sole Guard. Although I am a fan of Saphir products, has anyone else had experience with this product ??

This does seem like undercoating hokum to me as well. If the expendable rugged sole is so devastated by abuse or regular wear, the upper will be in equally poor condition, so why bother with miracle oil at all?
Are we really suffering irreparable sole damage on otherwise good shoes?

I've used the Leather Honey product for a little while now and am pretty pleased with it. At very lease I expect it too keep the soles of my shoes from soaking salty water and the like this time of year.

The only benefit I see moisture resistance, and you can get that from mink oil...

I don't know about the Saphir stuff but application of leather honey produces something similar to an Alden water lock sole.

Won't anything that keeps water out also keep water in?
I'm totally unswayed by this idea that the motor honey is going to seep all deep into the hard dense sole and somehow make it impregnable to moisture and contaminants. My feet produce water and salt too...
This seems like tire rotation. Hey, spend $x and you'll get negligible extra wear worth much less than that!
