My father used a cotton ball to shine after water spritz on his 1957 combat boots, I now have those boots and still use a cotton ball on them. Great video!

I went all in on the Saphir products. Bit expensive, real easy to use and looks great

I’m up in Seattle now but still try to steer people to you because you’ve done amazing work w my shoes. Hope you keep making these, they’ve skyrocketed the careers of several cobblers and you deserve that!!!

@georgiosbottega7753 2 года назад

I appreciate you so much it was always nice to see you come in with cool projects like the Corcoran boots

Thank you for the excellent video. I own a pair of Lofgren combat boots in black cxl. They are still fairly new, but I will definitely be watching this video again in the future.

@@georgiosbottega7753, I was confused why you’ve so few subscribers and curious why you’ve posted so few vids.... buuut then I just fell back to being appreciative that people like you exist in this world. Also, I particularly liked the silver lantern/candle/zippo device and the acetone dispenser. What’s the story behind those tools?

@georgiosbottega7753 3 года назад

@Jason Stephens I started the RU-vid videos a year ago then the pandemic happened and I saw an opportunity to further my education because things slowed down.... I went back to university to finish my degree in footwear pattern engineering. Now that I have my final I can relax a little and start doing RU-vid again. However I’m pretty much a one man show. I am the front counter person, the bespoke shoe maker, the custom leather maker, the designer, the luxury handbag repairist, the cobbler, the shoe shinner, and try to run our web store. The zippo lighter is from the 1940’s and it was my dads, the lamp is probably 10 years old and it’s to heat up my shoe making tools and the Japanese water dispenser is new.. you can pretty much put any liquid in those and it will dispense it. RU-vid is great i enjoy doing it but it’s more of a hobby. Hope I answered all your questions

@ChaoteLab 3 года назад

@@georgiosbottega7753 , your Dad’s from the 40’s? NICE!!!! Footwear Pattern Engineering? Quite possibly the coolest sounding degree ever. Thank you for your detailed answer. Seems like you’re ready for an apprentice. Good luck to you. I look forward to your future videos.

@georgiosbottega7753 3 года назад

My dad was born in 1929 and started making shoes in 1937. I have no idea when or where he got that lighter but it’s been in the shop as long as I can remember. He opened up in The USA in 1963. Thank you hope you like all of them.. I’m trying to do it biweekly

@1k1ngst0n 2 года назад

beautiful work! I had no idea you could use regular shoe polish and cream on chomexcel leather! Do you find that it's harder to shine than regular calfskin leathers?

@johnmutton799 2 года назад

in the army in the UK, after week after week of polishingyour boots, we didn't bull our boot, spit and polish. we water billed them under the tap with cotton wool. you get the deepest mirror shine there is!

@krazmokramer 3 года назад

Nice videos. Good music, too! I hope you don't mind a small suggestion for your videos. It would be nice if you extended the final scene with the shoes/boots/etc on the turntable, and spin the turntable much slower. I think eveyone wants to get a better look at the finished product. Thank you!

@georgiosbottega7753 3 года назад

Gotcha! I’ll be sure to do that.

@matttherrien9608 2 года назад

In your opinion, which is better for Horween Cavalier chromexcel? Venetian shoe cream or the greasy leather Saphir. The black boots I have I want to let age without polish and apparently you're not supposed to use wax products on this leather? VSC has waxes that may not be great for Cavalier leather. Is that true?

@InGrindWeCrust2010 Год назад

I know you didn't ask the opinion of some random commenter, but to me, Venetian Shoe Cream is a very light conditioner and won't hurt anything, and is similar to Saphir Universal Conditioner. They're mostly to moisturize and don't have heavy waxes. I think they can look great on Chromexcel, I think because of the somewhat texture on top compared to e.g. double shot. Saphir Oiled Leather Cream is my go-to for any oiled leather, including Chromexcel. When I got my first boots, I couldn't understand why they wouldn't take regular shoe cream and wax like my dress shoes. Like this guy showed, oiled leather can absorb A LOT of wax before you can build it up to a shine.

Is the saddle soap good to use on all chromexcel leathers I have the Lofgren Combat boots in Timber Chromexcel (brown)

@georgiosbottega7753 3 года назад

Yes we have used it for many years on the chromexcel with no issues. but we only use the Saphire saddle soap. Some people say not to but I have not had any issues on my boots which I've had 4 years now. I think its important to always hydrate after saddle soap as its a little alkaline... also it is very important to use the saddle soap correctly

@@georgiosbottega7753 thank you for getting back to me Giorgio .. I’ll keep that in mind
