How To Clean & Condition Your Thursday Boot Captains (Smooth Leather) | 

One of my fondest memories of my Dad comes from the wonderful smell of him polishing his boots and showing me how to do the same. My children say the same about me, so this channel just warms my heart. I need to order some conditioners, creams, because all I have been doing is polishing......but not anymore. Thanks for sharing your passion with us!

My husband has been watching your show for a long time and has purchased a pair of boots for our 14 year old daughter. She loves to watch it with her father while doing homework and has learned so much about the ins-and-outs of boots because of you guys. Thank you

It's honestly amazing how just after a good brushing, they already looked worlds better.

When I see a Trenton & Heath video, I put everything down and click. I really love your videos!

Cleaning my exact same boots watching your video.. this Thursday boots are one of the best boots in the world to be honest they can easily last you a decade if not more

These videos contain great and helpful info. Thanks, guys, for keeping current haircuts! That’s the first thing I noticed!

people are literally doing triple takes on my boots lol its a joy 🎉

Thank you so much for making these videos. They are super therapeutic, and makes me really happy seeing these used boots come back to life with some love and some shoe cream!

Thanks! This was the perfect guide for my Thursday Presidents! I’ll be using this guide for years to come!

What a great thorough explanation of how to take care of a boot! Bravo

That's an amazing restoration job, the boots look 100x better than they did! Great video as usual.

Love how they come back to life!! I want a pair of leather boots now.

That brown Saphir stuff is an instant MIRACLE on that toe!!

Always thought I knew how to condition my boots well, but I have still learned a bit more from you guys. Thanks for the fantastic video. And by the way I also swear by the Sapphire products. Your got a new subscriber!

Watching these shoe care videos brings back childhood memories of when I shined my shoes almost every Sunday night, using a folding shoe holder on the pantry door, a brush, Kiwi wax, a rag for applying the wax and another for buffing to a ‘spit’ shine.

Good to see yall did just about exactly the same that I did to my Captains over the weekend (I used wax at the end)

My goodness, those are handsome boots. I find the Captain to be a great looking boot and after getting the treatment here in the vid, oooh baby, she looks good. It's hard to look away. 😍

I took a look at your site right after the video and placed an order for some of these products. Liked and subscribed! Can’t wait to see more of your work. Keep it up!

Thanks for continuing to make new videos for us. Other channels would rather show off photos of their $1000+ boots, but y'all continue to give us the content we crave.

Never had anyone to teach me this kind of thing and just cleaned up and polished my leather boots for the first time since I've owned them for a year. They look like a million bucks now, thanks for the video man

I bought Saphir products today and watching your tutorials. Its an amazing transformation. Gonna use it on my Dan Post Mignon Black Cherry boots. Thank you for the information. Much appreciated.

I enjoy using a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol or acetone and rub it along the stitching.. The stitching becomes clean and white again and pops against the uppers color.. Really makes your shoes look new..

This is so incredibly relaxing to watch

I had a drill instructor that would have had you shine that boot until he could see his reflection. Ha ha. A good video. Lots of younger people have no clue about caring for leather footwear. You provide knowledge. Thanks a million.

I'm going to be needing your shoe products. Thank you for the tutorial.

Super helpful. Great video. Appreciate the work you do, please keep it up!

Thank you so much for the informative video. I bought a relatively in nice condition Thursdays at a thrift store and after following your advice, they look better than brand new. Thank you again.

It’s amazing after cleaning and doing a boot shine this pair of boots look amazing. Thanks for sharing the video. Have a good evening.

It's currently Thanksgiving Eve 2022 and this saved my cowboy boots that I'm wearing to my wife's parents house. Thank you my friend. You earned a subscriber

So good!! Apparently not only repairing videos are satisfying.

Fantastic tutorial, great music, perfect volume 5 stars.

I used the Saphir Renomat on my Presidents after a particularly dusty trip to west Texas last year. It did the trick.

Great video! That boot is looking pristine!

"ready to go" is really fitting when it comes to shoes^^

I have those boots. Super happy with them. Thanks for the video.

OMG those boots been through several marathons Great work on the boots

i really wish i saw your video before i decided to clean my boots all on my own. this is really good and as someone that is new to boots very imformative.

Awesome timing. Just bought Venetian Cream and a Horse Hair Brush to do just this to my Captains. Thank you!

Great to see you again...stay safe. What's old is new again..once these boots would be called " high button shoes"

Man what an insane transformation! ❤

i love all your videos . i even watched it all over again and again .

I love this channel.

Amazing transformation. The beautiful patina on these boots was completely hidden by all the dust and grime. The owner needs to step up (or just begin) his shoe care game. Easy stuff, just brush them quickly after each use, and hydrate once a month. My Iron Rangers look just like these at the end, that gentle shine. I love that look. Thanks for another great video!

OMG Trenton! Those boots look good enough to eat - you are truly the « Master Finisher » in your team!

I was just gifted a pair of Frye Boots, still in the box, with cardboard inserts, paperwork, tissue paper and a receipt from a former local shoe store from here in my hometown with the date 11/12/1982.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Awesome video thanks for the advice!

Excellent! You added before and after shots!

Awesome video.. yall rock.!

I have Thursday captains in this color. Thanks so much for this video!!

Wow! Those look great after the cremes and buffing

I am not the only one enjoying that beautiful sound!! Right?

What a perfectly appropriate video. I just got 2 pairs of Thursday Boots 2 weeks ago; Captains in Neutral and Presidents in brown. I was going to go for Neutral Cream Polish for both pairs, but as I have Saphir Cream in Burgandy, I'll use that, when the time comes for them to be cleaned up. Thanks

great video, thanks!

Love my Thursday Captains. So much so that I’m going to buy another Thursday Boot. I think I going for one of the distressed leathers this time as I’m going to shift them to daily wear and keep the Captains as dress boots. Just not sure which model I’m going for yet.

Awesome video!!

WONDERFULLLL.... GREAT JOB MAN

Very helpful. Thank you!

Heath and Trenton - I'm not a shoe guy, but I'm shoe show guy - I love your channel.

Great video! would love to see some more care videos, especially cowboy boots. Im sure ive been doing it all wrong lol

I left a pair of clogs outside during a week of heavy rains and very hot weather. They were stiff as a board and had shrunk so much that my heel hung over the back edge. I massaged them inside and out with coconut oil over 5 days and now they look and feel soft and supple as when I got them! I have Bick 4 that I use on my cowboy boots and they look good after I use it but it just doesn't seem to last very long; think I might try coconut oil on them also.

Love the channel! Could you guys do a video on how to clean and condition exotic boots, something like Caiman, Gator, etc.

I just got my Captain boots today!

The pommadier cream color used is "08 Bordeaux". You can see the label at 6:43

Great stuff Thank you !!

Great tutorial thanks very much

Saphir Médaille d'or isn't a "good" brand. It's just the best on the market 😁😁😁 Thanks for the fabulous content, you always publish excellent videos. All my support from 🇫🇷

Some Elijah Craig Small Batch was tilted your way yesterday for your continued success and the making of a lot of good memories in your new place.

Great video

Awesome polishing tutorial! I have learned everything that I know about leather boots from this channel 🙏🏻 The waterproofing spay works by using small particles of fiber glass and can cause serious lung damage if inhaled. This stuff is no joke, please stay safe guys and keep making quality content.

Stunning!

Hi Trenton. Thank you as always. I have a question. You sprayed at the end of boot care. My question is "Do we need to remove the spray material by some sort of cleaner at the next time or just start over with brushing followed by cream?"

You're marketing works. Just spent about $80 at your shop. Glad the Saphir stuff is in stock.

I check your channel on daily basis.

Nice to see you, Trent! I have a pair of Thursday Presidents in that leather. I guess I’d better get busy! 😊 Fortunately, mine are in way better shape than those Captains, so it shouldn’t be bad. Have a great weekend.

Great videos! Would really enjoy a Clark's Desert Boot resole clip

I like the Saphir Renovateur (and the rest of their line of shoe care products) for dress shoes and small fine leather goods. The larger projects... outdoor leather goods/tack, work boots, automotive upholstery, etc., I prefer the Bick 4 conditioner, and often reach for my Obenauf's leather oil (has some beeswax and propolis in it). Conditioning the leather is a must. Good vid, thanks for putting them out. And, had they not mentioned the fact they sell the Saphir products, I wouldn't've known. Their pricing is fair and you're not gouged on shipping like some ebay sellers. I appreciated that when I stocked up about a month ago.

I have been using the creme for Shell Cordovan on my casual leathers, especially CXL and Chromepak. Seems to do a better job than standard creme that you would use for calf.

These guys are amazing! If you like nice shoes, how to care for them, spot quality, etc. subscribe and turn on your notifications. I have this exact pair of boots. I e-mailed the Potter and Sons contact e-mail on their website with a few questions and Trenton replied personally and promptly. I bought all of the supplies from them to do this and you should too! Competitive pricing, prompt shipping and courteous professional advice. Just to clarify, if you have brown chrome leather Thursday boots, like these Captains or the similar President boot, Trenton clarified with me that he used Saphir Bordeaux color polish on the upper and tobacco on the heel block. Buy from them and keep supporting the channel!

What conditioner/cream would you recommend for rough out leather ? Your videos are always clear and informative. Thank You !

Good work learns a lot shoe repair

Thank you for the video, keep up the good work! For the natural color Thursday boots, what type of cream color should I use??

I love this video. If you ever wanted to do my Parkhurst.

Thanks for this, a skilled cobbler sharing his knowledge. I have a question if that alright, should I be hydrating the inside of the boot at all?

Awesome 👍

your videos are the best Love it its my weird ASMR LOL

Just got my first pair of Thursday Boots. I got a pair of Presidents. When should my first cleaning and conditioning be done on my boots. Had them a week, no break in problems at all. Also like how well they are made. A very good boot so far..

Hey Trenton and Heath, awesome videos very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work. I’m looking for some advice on a pair of red wing work boots I have the 2412 models. Wondering how often I should be cleaning them and recommended products. Any advice Is appreciated thank you!

Oh shit, I got these!!!

Can you do a video some time comparing Allen Edmonds speed welt and feather welt, compared to traditional bench welt, and what you think of them?

Great video. Should we use the water proofing spray on new Thursday boots? And on all their models? Thanks!!

Whoa!! this is amazing, thank you so much for sharing. is the brush you use for cleaning at the beginning the same that you used later on?

Excellent information!! I just purchased my first pair of "good" boots, not "throw out" type brands. I purchased Thursday Captains in brown and wanted to know if I should do anything to them before wearing them such as waterproofing? Thanks for help!

Can you do a video about eyelet maintenance? Maybe polishing or deburring/smoothing?

This is the first video of yours that has shown up in almost 2 months. I subscribe to your channel. The bell notification is ON, but none of your videos have shown up in my feed til today. They use to, but in the last 2 months, nothing

really good lookin boot.. Pair those with a nice pair of dark denim jeans slim fit, really nice style

This is really helpful! Do you use a different brush for dusting the boot in the beginning and then one for buffing?

beautiful!

I read the title.... I thought about it, but no, I don't have need to learn how to clean and condition my Thursday boot captain! He's good! He is a captain after all...I taught him well....lol

Down to business! Great insight.👍🙏🇬🇧
