SIEGOL® lighter grease

The presence of cod liver oil shows that this leather grease from Siegol® is an exception today and comes from the traditional circle of Juchten leather. It is therefore the means of choice not only for the care of our fish-range greased Manufactum leather series, but for all natural, very high quality leathers, as they are used except us for the best motorcycle and work shoes and heavy hiking boots. It makes the leather soft and supple, at the same time strongly water repellent.

The well-known Burgol shoe cream – a polish made of hard wax – has been produced following an unchanged recipe since 1921. However, in 2017 changed the trademark rights. The palm wax shoe polish is marketed under the name Siegol® now. Because no successor from the family could be found, Burgol was already sold to the H. Siegenthaler AG in 1983. Since then, the palm wax shoe polish and all other shoe care products have been manufactured at the company’s headquarters in the canton of Bern. Yet, trading the tried and tested shoe care product only recently restarted under the new brand name. Besides, the name derives from Siegenthaler and Oel.

Treating leather with nourishing care products makes it more beautiful and revives the inner fluidity that reduces friction and delays wear in the leather’s fibre structure. In short: the leather becomes softer, more elastic and more supple.

Hardly any other items in our daily lives are subject to as much internal and external stress as shoes. Eventually, we tread the pavement with them every day. It’s amazing that shoes can last as long as well-made ones do. However, there is one prerequisite: minimal but regular care. The choice is yours to perceive this chore as a bore or a thankful ritual.
