My NEW Allen Edmonds Dalton Boots | Steps I Take Before Wearing 

At 4:01, I meant to say “yes, you can apply wax right after the conditioner.” Sorry guys!

This is the channel I didn't know I needed.

Great video. It was really good to see how you went through all the steps and hear the explanation compared to the other video where you only explained it.

They came out great! Makes me want to buy a pair in that color.

makes me want to pull the trigger on getting my own pr. Always liked the Daltons. Thanks for the video, always great content

I bought my first pair of leather boots in 2016 and all the conditioning products I could get my hands on. I honestly enjoyed the polishing routine, it was relaxing. Those boots always had a pretty glossy finish and I often got compliments on how fancy they were (cowboy boots are rarely seen where I'm from). This video inspired me to bring them out again. Thanks for the tips, Trenton! =D

My new black Dalton's came in today and they have been sitting since at least 2017, based on the AE logo. I followed you method to prep them and they are looking great. Thanks for posting this video!

Beautiful boots! Nice job enhancing the quality.

Wow, those are the most beautiful boots I've ever seen. Great work on the video!

Love the AE Daltons! These are my go-to's (in Walnut). Easily four days a week, seven months a year boot for me, for maybe the last six years. Re-soled twice.

You convinced me. I ordered the same boot. I'll follow your advise when they arrive.

Simply amazing. When you said to bring out a shine I was thinking to myself, The boots are gonna look terrible they shouldn’t be that shiny. Wow did you ever prove me wrong they ended up turning out amazing. Thank you for all of your videos I can sit here and watch them all day long. I absolutely love anything leather even though I don’t own a lot because it’s a little too expensive for me. My dream job would be a leather worker.

I absolutely love these videos! Some of the best on leather shoes but do you think one day you could do one reviewing what each shoe product is, the cremes vs. the waxes. Don't have to focus on brands just their purpose. It would really be appreciated as I keep feeling I don't have the right products for my boots

I'd love to see an update on these--how they've worn, patina development, any issues and if they drew you to wear them often!

What?! No tear down? I was oozing with anticipatory excitement to see how well these AEs are constructed. Just kidding....I think they are absolutely stunning. Keep up the excellent presentations.

Leave it to these guys to take a brand new pair of expensive shoes and make them look even better. When they're your boots add some info about laces and lacing. And some video footage on sliding your socked foot into the new shoes which are likely still stiff. Uh, shoehorn? . Thanks for this particular video guys. Every time I watch your videos I'm reminded of how much better care I could/should/will be taking of my shoes and boots. No more wax in the brogue holes.

Quite an improvement, these look great

I thought I was good at shining shoes until I watched this video, excellent tips.

Very informative. Thank you. Good job.

Great demo 👌👍

Just got my Daltons in Walnut.... delivered in 2 days.... can't wait.

I'd love to see some saphir cream colour/comparisons/recommendations for different tones of shoes etc. I just put mahogany on my oxblood daltons. They look amazing!

Wow best video describing step by step and simple 👍🏽 thank you

Those are beautiful boots. Just my style. I’d love a pair of AEs, next trip to America will have to include a trip to one of their stores.

You're quite the dermatologist Mr.Trenton, excellent video.

Very nice. I bought that exact same boot 2 weeks ago. Took it so my local shoe shine guy to condition and polish them, then to the cobbler for some sole protectors, and now I am good to go.

Thanks for the info. Just picked up my first pair of boot, the AE Higgins Mill in brown.

Those boots are gorgeous!

Beautiful pair of AE boots... Gorgeous

The difference is night and day with the before and after. They already looked good - you made them look better.

Awesome video!!!

Beautiful pair of boots...! Gorgeous

Would love to see an update on these boots after a few months wear!

I use saddle soap to clean my shoes and boots. I also work the polishes into the leather with my fingers, using the saddle soap to clean the wax off my fingers. Another idea to use if time is against you is to apply the Wax and and spray your boots/shoes with water and then use your horsehair brush to achieve a nice shine. This I learned in my military basic training and remember not too glossy (perfection in one area brings out the flaws in the rest of your attire). Great video.

I recently got a pair of Daltons too! My local cobbler sold me a pair of Daltons $60 and gave me a complimentary JR resole too!

Those are really nice looking boots. Great color.

While you were using the wax and talking the the shine I said, where the water then a squirter bottle popped up lol great job man

My Daltons just arrived. And my girl is like wear them. I sent her this video in response.

I would love to see your footwear closet!!!

To the brother cobblers with AMAZING hair! Great video! 🔥🔥💯😎

One of my favorite pair of shoes you have there sir... Amazing shine 👌👌👌🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Literally just bought these! They’re so comfortable

This is a cool insight into your personal style. I think it would be fun to see a walk-through of your personal shoes to see what you wear! Maybe there are some surprises in there . . . haha

Man I need to get my Coffee Daltons in that shape great video

Just getting into you guys channel, and loving it so far. I was excited to find out you guys are in Nashville, which is where I live as well. That's good to know. I'm looking to purchase some moc toes and torn between Red wing, Thorogood and Whites. Just wanted to say hi and keep up the great work!

Hey Trenton & Heath, great tutorial. Thank you! Do you have a video on how you are supposed to care for Terracotta-style leather boots? (Wax, products, etc?).

One thing I do (in addition to what Trenton showed) is to take a dollop of "Bick 4" conditioner (about the size of a half-dollar) on my fingers and reach up into the toe and coat the entire interior leather (underside of the toe/vamp, etc.) and the entire footbed. After that soaks in, I insert my cedars. I then take the Bick 4 and apply a bead where the welt meets the upper and allow that to soak in. I also use the Bick 4 on the soles and edges. The outside of the uppers get the same treatment Trenton showed. I've found this to make the break-in VERY easy. The only reason I use the Bick 4, rather than the Saphir on the areas I specified is, it's way more cost effective to use it on those areas not seen/showcased. And, since AE is making me very happy by lining the full inside of my shoe with leather, rather than canvas, I don't want that leather drying and cracking over time. The areas of flex along that welt, I want that leather to remain supple too.

I really like those boots. They are really a nice looking style kudos.

Awesome pair of boots

They look great.

Ha! I went to that same store (where Five Guys used to be) and got the same boots in 2015. Time to condition them again. I got cedar trees with them ofc.

Great content. I've never worn dress shoes or even boots because I don't know where to find a nice pair in Philadelphia for a good price. That being said, those look great!

I like them very, I have never see then in stores in Ont. Canada, Love to get a pairs of them.

Great job, amazing. Bravo 🔝👏👍

Also, if you do get wax n the broguing you can brush it out with a stippling action right away before it dries. I saw that on another video.

Just read on AE website that the Dalton’s are being closed out so supplies are limited and on sale this month for $285 were $475. Great deal - get them while you can. Great looking boot and video. Just ordered the same pair - what a deal!

Great video guys and amazing boots. One question, do I need to strip the wax before conditioning and adding cream?

I am a new subscriber from the Elegant Oxford channel. Great collaboration, now I have two awesome shoe channels!

Seems yesterday you were a 10,000 subscribers, a couple months later and you are 33,000 plus, congratulations!🎉🎊🍾 What about doing lady’s shoes???

"Now, I'm not going for a mirror shine..." Sir, that's more of a mirror shine than my father's patent leather wholecuts.

Awesome pair, I'm jealous!

Thanks for the lesson. That's great info. I wonder how to treat boots in a very wet climate. Do you recommend mink oil and/ or waterproofing sprays?

Super nice boots. I like them a lot. (Maybe one day I'll get a pair.)

Love the color. The light color of the sole, (as opposed to black), is what really sets this beautiful boot off. Someone in the comments, suggested the color of these boots is oxblood. But I don't think they are. They look like a whiskey brown, with some black wax applied. I wonder what the official color, Allen Edmonds, markets these as? I am sure they are not oxblood. Anyway...beautiful boot. I was considering getting a pair of Dalton's, but in a light tan. Or British Tan, as some call them. But after seeing these...I may reconsider. Brilliant color.

Great looking boots

Allen Edmonds makes a nice quality boot

Hey! Love your videos, gentlemen! I am guilty of getting those waxes into the 'broguing', because I do exactly what you said not to do. Now, how do I get them out and start over? Cheers!

Love the music

I also polish them before, same reasons 😀

Love this channel and this boot - just bought it. It seems that the Saphir Mirror Gloss Médaille d'Or is nearly impossible to get now. What do you recommend as an alternative?

Beautiful boots. Love the color. Thanks for sharing the proper way to apply wax onto your rag. Thanks for sharing. What Color are they?

Very interesting, thankyou.

Lovely boots.

Damn I didn't know that much love would make them look that much better

Wow! That's a sharp looking boot. I just purchased a pair and will wear them with jeans and perhaps chinos. I don't believe I will wear them with suits. I prefer the PA and 5th Ave for suits.

id wear those right across america 🎉🎉🎉 thatll break em in nice ❤

I have a question. I have 3 pairs of Allen Edmonds that I have only ever used the A.E. cream polishes in since day 1 (about 2 years ago). I’ve never used a dedicated conditioner or wax. I also only wear them for occasional use; not daily or even weekly. They’ve also had shoe trees since day 1. After watching your channel, I just ordered the 3 step Saphir regimen (Renovateur, cream polish, mirror gloss). My question is: Do I need to strip the AE cream polish off the shoes before beginning again with the Renovateur? Or will the conditioner absorb into the leather through the existing layer of cream polish? Thank you, and keep up the great videos!

Great videos. Do you have any experience with Allen Edmond's weatherproof leather shoes? Specifically the Park Aves? I'm wondering if the leather can take the rain better than other oxfords in the space (C&J and Loakes).

Love your videos and the fact that you bought a pair for yourself - do you have an "ideal" pair of sub-$500 boots? I have a few pairs of AE but not sure what the next step up should be or to invest more time and care in the products that I buy.

Does the wax protect the leather in any way. Still studying this want to buy some long lasting leather boots. Now i know how important it is to condition from a video from you guys. Will do it to some of the leather ones i have right now. Love it!

I also just broke out a new pair of boots - brand name is Geox - they have a patent sole where there are holes which let out air so your foot can breath but not water in and are waterproof. I decided to condition them but looking at the instructions on the product and the website there was a complete contradiction. The website said to maintain the shoes with creams and wax but the info attached to the shoe and in the box warn not to use any cleaning products at all and just wipe with a dry or damp cloth to clean. A little confused - apparently Italian leather - mine are a black pair toe cap derby - so decide to apply a little Saphir Renovateur into the toe caps to begin with. At this point I realised there was already quite a lot of product on the boot as the white towel I used to apply the Renovateur went black 😂 anyway I worked in the Renovateur and buffed and it came up with a great shine. So clearly the product has already been prepared so will wear for a while before treating again. I like the boots but unfortunately they are single use only as the company do not resole and the sole is unique. I never buy this style of shoe or boot (single use) but just thought I would give this brand a try. I suppose I could just resole with a completely different sole...............

New Trenton & Heath video: Me: “Let me hit the like button before watching”.

What do u think of Obenauf’s oil? I use the lightest coat on my dress shoes. It’s probably a quarter of the amt you used of Renovateur, bc a little goes a verrrrrry long way. I use a synthetic, not very absorbent paint brush to apply. I don’t think I’ll ever get thru a bottle for reference, but I like how transparent they are about ingredients and how u could use it on human skin.

Is be curious to know what brand jeans you guys wear since you appreciate quality

I recently bought a pair of Red Wing’s Blacksmith boot in the Copper Rough and Tough color (No. 3343). Would you recommend applying any cream to that leather, or would a regular brushing and shoe trees be just fine?

i just ordered me these in oxblood

Would you choose these kind of boots over Thursday boots? If price was not a factor. Can’t decide between the two. Will be wearing them to work

Just got me a pair in walnut and I wear them like crazy. Best boots I’ve ever owned.

Do you ever use Resolene? I make leather holsters and sheaths and use that to lock the pigments in. Gives a satin finish but can be buffed up. Also seems to harden the leather a bit.

Hi, do you think it’s necessary to condition the leather footbed and the inside of the vamp? I assume they are constantly exposed to moisture and therefore need conditioning.

With every new pair of boots, I always add mink oil, conditioner, and polish. Every brand new shoe I've seen soaked up oil as if they were dry, and the conditioner never hurts. Layers of polish. I want to build up a few good layers before the shoes go into the elements.

Awesome video thanks for sharing. How do I find out if there's an Allen Edman Store Near where I live?

Now on sale at 300 usd, I think it's a good deal for these boots !

Is that a defect in the leather or stitch on the toe of the right boot ?

I think I have fallen in love with those shoes

Nice choice, my man. My Shell Cordovan Daltons should be ready for pickup in the Nashville store next month. Btw thanks for the tips on the broguing. That part absolutely killed me every time I went for a mirror shine on my Walnut Strands. Any tips on minimizing dried up shoe cream buildup along broguing edges?

I’ve noticed that when I apply neutral wax after the colored cream (both Saphir products), the wax tends to strip off the layer of cream I just added to try and add patina. Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?

How do I do this to my Redwing 875s without darkening them? Thanks, great vid!

I literally just ordered a pair of Daltons in Dark Chili--Fall Sale at AE right now. I opted for the Dainite soul / weatherproof. Any additional / different care techniques? Thank you.

What color boots are these? Looks great!
