Don’t these shoes crush the toes together?
It might need a resole doh😂
when would you advise stripping and redoing them? im active duty navy and wanting to do this with my boots and shoes just wondering at what point do you just reset and do it all over again also how would this go if ive already polished them with kiwi and/or lincoln polish
I have a pair of trickers bookbinder shoes for over 10 years a they are in great shape . Instead of using traditional shoe care products I use 303 aerospace protectant and armor all to shine them and I go over the shoe every couple months . Instead of using shoe polishes and creams use plastic conditioners I get the 303 from Amazon the white bottle, and armor all from anywhere like autozone or Walmart .
We all learn a lot from subscribing to The Elegant Oxford.
I love your videos.
Wow amazing
Parade gloss is crap. Use regular kiwi.
It’s been years since I made this video. Unfortunately kiwi has gone out of business. SC Johnston has stopped production. After current stores are used up, they will not be replaced. End of an era.
You can sand them down that works well to preston if you burn the wax into the leather till it bubbles then it wont crack the shoe will be rock hard and wont flex
Go India!!!
I just love Alden's Color #8 Shell Cordovan with that BEAUTIFUL EGGPLANT HUE!!!
No gloves for acetone? 😲
I would love to see a video on how you care for (and polish) shoes with such contrasting colors like this. I'm stumped.
A masterpiece!
Magic !.
I was in the military and didn't have the patience to get it to shine.. My chiefs didn't care about the shine but it was presentable.
**I NEED A PAIR**
Can i use this on timberlands?
This is the first time I've seen your video and I'm subscribing straight away.
Yup, people don't realize but you always get better results when you let the wax hardened. I'm new to shoe mirror shine but it's the same principle as car wax. The longer you wait the harder it gets, and the better is the gloss. On a car you apply the wax and wait for a good 45min to an hour at least before buffing. On shoes, it's not typically done because most people don't have the time. Usually you put down the wax. Wait a minute. start to buff. Essentially 85-95% of the wax is back on the buffing tool, leaving only a thinner coat of wax on the shoe. A little heat helps dry which is why when Buffy the friction helps the wax dry. But not as well as time :p To get mirror finish texture surface must disappear. No way around it. Thinner the wax. Lesser the shine.
What’s the best for the mid sole? I have seen s’aphir sole guard but not sure if that’s for the midsole too?
Unfortunately I have been experiencing the worst customer service experience ever from Meermin Shoes. I ordered a pair of loafers online from their website. The shoes arrived and were a half size too small. So I exchanged them for a half size up. I had to pay $15 dollars for shipping on the exchange. When my ‘new’ exchanged shoes arrived there were defects. I was requested to return this pair for another exchange. Ten days later I received an email from their shipping/billing department that in order for me to receive my exchange I would have to pay another $15 dollars for shipping fees. That would mean that in order to receive the correct size and undamaged I would have to pay $30 above the retail price as listed on their website! On top of this, it’s been extremely difficult communicating with their shipping dept. At first they seemed to have a hard time understanding that I’d requested an exchange for my loafers, not a refund! To receive an acknowledgment of this took weeks!I have contacted their only retail location in the USA (Soho NYC) for assistance. All of the salesmen that I interacted with were understanding, courteous and professional. They too seemed bewildered as to what had transpired. Simply put, dealing with this company via online has been an ordeal!
I bought a $6 pair of thought store shoes to practice on
Very nice job but if the shoes were mine I would rather prefer the vintage colour rather than red with black for this perfect transformation.
Will the dye transfer if they get wet?
Awesome shine. Great tutorial. I definitely will use this technique.
Maybe the owner should visit his chiropractor
too much talking and explaining and being dramatic for drama sake
They were not abused. They were used to the fullest. 🙄
Hi I do have some question. I just got my new pair of tassel loafers and I am a newbie into shoe shining community, is there a difference between applying the leather conditioner by bare fingers and by using a chamois? Also how often do you preferred to condition and polish it base on your experience as a professional? Hope you receive my comments Sir, Thank you
I don't understand why you skip an eyelet. When you try to cinch up both laces when done, the slipped hole lace has too much slack and won't respond.
Phenomenal skills guys. The end result was amazing.
Well I've had 2 pairs of Church bookbinder for over 25 years and never had an issue and they still look very good today, I look after them like I look after my more expensive shoes.
Hi Preston - which shoes are you featuring in this video?
Been using the water alcohol mix since the 80s.
I would put any Bridlen shoe up against a Meermin shoe and feel confident that the Bridlen shoe will have better detail, fewer flaws, and look good longer.
Where did you get that bottle from? I need that one. Just started into shining my shoes
Another quality job Preston . Wow!
Great review. I have several TLB shoes. Excellent value. My only complaint is that they do not offer blind eyelets to my knowledge.
on behalf of the navy, we dont do this
Excellent work... very good boy.. respect your father stuff also
very nice project, interesting film. No comment needed at all. Just do it, don't talk... 👏
This is absolutely awesome! 🎉 😎
You are an absolute artist!!! I simply enjoy watching you work. I look forward to getting my own pair and working on them.
The brown is cool
Im a maintenance tech at a court house and i put a nice shine on my boots and i have had lawyers sheriffs deputies and even a judge ask me about my boots
How fast they lose the shine though? Is the main question.
Don’t use it. It won’t lose the shine . Just wrap on clear plastic , preserve and enjoy the looks. Just use it on special occasions. ENJOY
They should ban all the veterans talking about how all the recruits should watch this video
Great video! Could I use methylated spirits in replace of acetone?
can you shine old shoes using kiwi?
