Wait until you read about Roger "The Buffer" Wilhelm! Escaped the East German bloc and came to the US with a brush and a dream. After becoming a 3 time back to back champion he retired to run a lamb butcher shop in Hoboken. But man....could he shine! Kids today STILL use his patented technique, the ye ole back-and-forth. Revolutionary!
Excellent advice, thank you! Especially the bit about the shine and shoe colors not having to match exact. They look like mirrors in the end (to quote Billy Bats, hehe)
Well hell, not even the military knows how to shine and care for shoes and boots today. it's a lost skill. But from looking at young guys today. There is a great deal they don't know. But thank you for keeping some things alive.
the shine was Amazing. But ppl need to realize as beautiful it may be, that these shos are not foot shaped, hence the bunions and other issues you may have and the unnecessary heal actually screws up your posture in the long run resulting in knee pain, lower back pain etc. solution - get barefoot shoes.
Not necessarily. It’s okay to use them once in a while or if you’re in a rush. But overall, he gave pretty much the standard shoe care routine. I personally put cream and wax on the sole edge to get a really good shine once in a while but i usually just put a thin layer of wax on it.
@@albertosuastez1326 no i said it’s the standard for shoe care. And i personally dont use edge dressing as i said lol. But some pros also use edge dressing mind you. I’m too lazy to argue with someone online so yeah have a great day ahead sir and it was nice conversing with you :)
As you can see, the Saphir Renovateur is already more than enough to make the shoe look 150% better. So satisfying to see the shoe turn into a darker shade as it’s hydrated, like rain in the desert. 😄
I also bought one. It wasn’t as expensive as I imagined and it’s worth the price. I couldn’t find it last I needed to polish some shoes so I bought a new, similar-looking brush and it was a disaster. If you like your shoes and boots, buy proper care equipment. It may cost a bit more now, but the investment will quickly pay for itself when your footwear keeps longer - amd looks better, too.
They're the Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues in Dark Chili! I love them, but I didn't/wouldn't buy them at their regular price. AE usually has sales on their shoes w/ their annual Anniversary Sale sometimes bringing these to half-off of MSRP
EDIT: nvm i misinterpreted what they were saying ORIGINAL: You honestly couldn't have picked a worse video of mine to say this on. The stuff I use in this video are the same things recommended from shoe care experts (Kirby Allison: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-britfLQMkgI.html, Elegant Oxford: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WXGxPbBGbC4.html) and also used by the literal world shoe shine champion (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_gaxkWZPv6s.html).
@@theshoppingexpert when i say random ass i dont mean you find some random shoe shine i just mean who makes videos about shoe shine, technology, crayons, ice cream scoops, multi tools, christmas lights, sponges, and more
I use saddle soap and mink oil I've had the same pair of work boots for over 2 years now before boots lasted 3 months top didn't matter if I spent 50 bucks or 500 bucks
I was just thinking about this. In the 60's and 70's you could buy good quality (American, Canadian, UK made) shoes and leather goods at any medium level to upper level department stores. We would treat all of our shoes, coats, purses and blazers like this. I can still smell it. Boots were different, those had to be waterproofed. We took that quality for granted. I tried Shinola for leather bags but they were beyond mediocre. You are right about pledge. Don't use it. Pledge can turn white in the cold and damp.
I've tried tying/wrapping the polishing rag but it gets untied...I don't need a mirror shine on my duty boots (and don't think I could with the oiled leather) but sure looks great.
