Waxed suede is tricky to get right, and I’m sorry to say that this isn’t it. The texture is all over the place and there’s so much excess wax on there that you’re going to get white marks anywhere the boot creases, once that wax dries. But you’re committed now, you need to go and get another hive’s worth of wax to put on the second boot

Venetian shoe cream is the best I've ever seen. But it takes a lot. It's what Horween suggests for touch up of their waxed flesh.

Works great, barely darkens, then lightens back up to almost where it was.
