Does anyone know if metallic-colored shoe polish exists? I have a chocolate brown/bronze pair of flats and a neutral gold-like color shoe. The shoe stores have recommended Duane Reade but they just carry your basic black, brown and "cordovan" colors.

Don't take my word on it, but I wonder if, in the absence of a specific "shoe polish" you could touch them up with some sponge-on metallic paint? It doesn't sound like it would work ... or, here's something even more far out -- what about eye makeup of a matching glittery shade? That might be best... not permanent, etc.

Don't take my word for it ...

Go to a good shoe repair shop
They have all the colors of shoe polish available. Kiwi etc do make polishes in other hues, in the metal tins or in sponge bottles.

Metallic shoe polish
You may have found a solution by now, but I recently had the same issue and Tarrago is a company that sells metallic shoe polishes and shoe dyes. It's Tarrago.com. Also, if you have an Amazon account already, you can just pay via Amazon, although I don't think you have to have one to buy.
