Bootiful comment👍
I dunno whether to laugh or just groan
@@TheElegantOxford hey man what do you use as a shining cloth?
I saw in your video you said shirt. Are t shirts ok? Or should they be dress shirts? T shirts are more i guess you could say they Are more stretchable. So just like dress shirts os collared shirts or t shirts for a shining cloth?
@@saadabdullah4245 he uses 100% cotton t shirts extra large and cuts them into strips
I respect you for openly showing the part where you mud your shoes. Most other channels pretend to “find” $5000 shoes in the graveyard
Okay am I the only one who watches these just cause they're satisfying as hell
No
Yes
I’ve watched all your videos! They remind me of when Pop first taught me how to shine shoes back in 1951. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!!!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Preston: I want to drink renovateur
All jokes aside that is a very impressive transformation, thanks for the videos and keep it up!
Lol
This is the point!😂
I sniff renovater
Not gonna lie I’ve though about it too hahaha
I moisturize my body with renovateur
Great shine on that toe Preston. I feel like you've single-handedly brought shoe shining to a new level with your channel.
Thank you, Mario! I appreciate the comment.
Mario Morales he has opened my eyes to footwear. I am not a fancy dude but now I even try to breath some life into my work-boots.
So glad you made this one....very useful especially being in the UK and lots of mud and filth at this time of the year.
I watch all your videos. I love and appreciate the art of shoe shine and you’re absolutely great at it and you explain things clearly. Enjoy and keep up the awesome content.
Watching this while shining my husbands shoes my new relaxing hobby thanks to you
I've never ever heard of a wife shining her husband's shoes
jeremy emilio Well I do and haven’t heard any complaints from him
Wow he is one lucky guy
😊
@@kzeb245 your husband is lucky
Awesome work, it is actually therapeutic to watch all this
Absolutely beautiful. Just so you know, I bought my first 2 pair of Oxfords today. Made sure to shine them while watching your new shoe video. They look nice. Just gotta find some wax and I'll be set. Thanks for the help and keep up the videos, love watching them.
Great! Congrats on your shoes!
What blows me away is despite your prodigious skill and attention for and to detail you don't have the subscribers that your talent deserves.... Your videos are so informative and helpful with even the most basic but necessary shoes techniques. My grandfather taught me years ago that a man's pride was in the shine of his shoes. He was a legend to me with his skills at mirror shining but I can say without a doubt that your skills eclipse his by a considerable margin (I'm being really kind to him here). Mr. Sotto.... Thank you. Thanks for undertaking the responsibility to remind us of the need for basic grooming and how this can restore character. Wishing you every success brother.... From Pinetown, South Africa
I'm stunned you subjected your beautiful boots to such harsh treatment, just to demonstrate a restoration. Clearly, you trust your skills!
My parents asked me the other day why I watch Boot videos, and Ali watch them for the talent. Keep up the good work man! God bless you
Lots of products to use..who knew. I thought one just needed saddle soap and then shoe polish. Makes a big difference with the process you do.
Thanks Preston, I clean and shine my shoes after your job. I 'm eternally grateful for that. Ciao from Italy 🔝👍💖
Before your channel I had no idea what a mirror shine was, now it’s my dream goal for my steel tip shoes...
You are the Bruce Lee of shoe restoration!
You made it a shame for me to look down at my feet. Just started ordering products to up my foot game. Thanks. 👍
Another great talented job Preston…..
I'm very happy to see such contents. Keep up the good work. Keep motivating the environment to enhance their gentleman like attire.
I always try to save watching you until late as your voice is so calming. No wonder you have so many followers you are a joy to watch a in chaotic world.
Thank you for watching, Linda!
Boots came out great!!
This reminds me of cleaning off my boots after a branding out on the ranch Nebraska... except it wasn't mud i was scrubbing off 🤠👢😷
Did it smell like political promises? LOL
💩💩💩
I used to help my dad polish his army boots. We'd spend ages on them. This brought back memories.
Saddle soap is designed to remove horse grease from saddles (and other leather equipment that touches the horse such as harnesses or bridles). It’s really good at taking all sorts of nasty stuff off leather. We always cleaned our horse tack with it and then treated the leather with a good dose of Ko-cha-line to keep it nice and soft and flexible.
After just brushing the mud off, they still look better polished than most people's shoes. Drink the Saphir lol. I tell you something, I smell my well used polishing cloth and the scent of all the Saphir creams and waxes, is amazing. I would wear that scent as a cologne.
Gorgeous.
I recently started back SHINING ALL OF MY SHOES. ATHLETIC SHOES NO MORE
Boots look amazing. Great job Preston. You are almost at 100K. It would be awesome to hit it before the year is over.
So nice. Makes me not worry about the bad weather coming up.
Within reason you’ll be ok!👍🏻
Love your videos!!! Keep'em comin
Looks better already ! Before the polishing!👌
Those are some beautiful boots they came out fantastic!!!! I am definitely envious of your collection and hope to get myself a quality pair of dress shoes and boots in the future
Happy Christmas 🎄
I'm a new sub that is really enjoying your content. I've been a devoted leather...caregiver? For years. But watching your work has given me a lot of info to take what I've done to the next level. This video was especially interesting because a couple years ago, I picked up a nice pair of military boots at a Goodwill $2 store. Just for background, if an item lands there, it's gone from start to finish at all area Goodwill stores (we don't have "The Bins" in my area), so it arrives at this store, for $2. And those boots were covered in mud, which helped to explain why I was looking them over for $2. What I saw were really nice, probably worn once boots then donated literally after that wearing. I took them home and took them straight to a sink. A good wash later (being careful to not soak the inside any more than necessary), and then a good conditioning, I sold them on ebay to a lady for her son for Christmas: for $79 plus full shipping. I recently intentionally picked up a pair of Ariats that look like yours did right after you removed the large clumps of dirt. I can't wait to get at 'em. Why is mail so slow?? 🙂
I watched from Japan. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
Congratulations on your 100k plus subscribers Preston x
Wow...beside you have a great shine of humour! Had a big laugh as said about you loving Saphir renovator so much would love even to drink it.
Great restoration! 👍
Oh yay! I needed this video... my purse will benefit from these techniques 😄
Excellent!, nice work!
Thanks!
Dug my Army boots out the other day. Even though I rarely need them any more being retired for a decade now, about once a year I still ensure there still serviceable. My jump boots are 30 years old.
They really look amazing, absolutely love their look!
Amazing transformation as always!
Love the video! You should do a saphir color guide for all the Allen Edmonds colors. Really curious what you would recommend for mahogany
Hussard stain remover is great. I use it at work to strip after using Reno Mat. I suggest to people who haven't used it to wear gloves as it will dry and burn your skin.
Outstanding job 👍
Thanks! I have been on the hunt for size 14 boot Trees! They were very hard to find in my size! I just order some from Wood Lore!
Yes Jabón de calabaza Preston xD saludos desde México nunca me pierdo tus vídeos 😊👍
Tremenda técnica !!
One of your best ever, thank you buddy love it
Wow! I use to work at Allen Edmonds - fantastic work here on these Dalton’s!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching
The Elegant Oxford You got it! 👍
Congratulations for 100k subscribers. Love from India ❤️
Congratulations to 100k subscribers!
Your work is entrancing ;)
Hello i love this video!! By any chance can you make a video shining military dress shoes???
man i would love this!
For four months our boots were like this every evening after coming off our obstacle course. One wee fireplace surrounded with 15 pairs of boots each evening, the overalls and all the webbing, belts, straps and pouches, all had to be washed, Blancoed and brasses polished for inspection in the morning. By Jebus can I polish a shoe, Iron a pair of overalls so they have creases you could shave with.
El jabón de calabaza es lo mejor para limpiar cualquier artículo de piel y darle mantenimiento, saludos desde la Ciudad de México.
Hi Preston
I noticed while watching your video that the tongue of your right boot was leaning towards the side. I was wondering if you ever found a way of dealing with this. Personally I just received my first pair of leather boots and I’m having this problem where whenever I’m wearing it the tongue always slides to the right and although it’s not the worst thing in the world it is a bit annoying.
Thanks,
Keep up with the great videos
Some of my boots do this. Personally, if it doesn't harm the comfort, I leave it be.
yep it is annoying..l got a pair of handmade Mephistos $350 and one of the tongues slides over as l wear them .l also have a pair of red wings that do the same . l cant figure out how to correct this.
You can do this yourself if you want but I've seen cobblers permanently sew the tongue on one side into the lining leather
Preston, when I clean off dirty, muddy shoes I successfully use a plastic bristled brush with a handle and it is able to get between the leather and the sole to make quick work to remove dirt and mud.
Good idea! Wish I’d thought of that!
How much I love ❤your videos
I use a toothbrush for those hard to get places.
Warren Timothy ... rinse them under running water speeds up the process too. and the sand goes off faster with less scratching.
My wife’s electric toothbrush works great
100k Subscribers! Woow! Congrats Mr. Preston! Keep it up 🥂👏🏻
Thanks, Merwin. I’m so dang excited
Nice work!
Acá en México, usamos el jabón de calabaza para limpiar los zapatos/tenis de gamuza.
What product do you recommend to refresh a black heel and sole edge? Been watching a ton of your videos and learning. Getting good results so far!
عمل رائع بلا حدود كل الإحترام والثقة
Buen trabajo ✌
You probably thought of this or it's in mind but woman have plenty of styles of shoes and boots they could have shined🤔. Sounds a bit of but I'm sure your female fans would appreciate it... Just a thought...your the best man 👍👍👍
I'm new to your channel. I don't even own a pair of leather boots (yet!), but I have to say. This has to be the most satisfying TH-cam video I've ever seen. By the way, where are your boots from? They look amazing
Thanks for watching!!!
Very nice job
really appreciate your channel sir you do an excellent job
Thank you for watching.
The real magic actually was walking through the dirt without scratching the leather :)
Nice job. 🙂
good that you were in mexico and you saw how they do it here
gracias por el video en español, y queria hacer una consulta a usted o a su publico de habla hispana, mas que nada de mexico. en enero estare de vacaciones por cancun, en ese lugar se pueden conseguir productos para el calzado como las pastas Zaphir, o las homas en madera ? por que aca en Argentina no hay, gracias.-
Wow, incredible.
Question: how did you clean 1) the laces, and 2) the little holes where the two layers of leather meet to create that classic design?
Wonderful 👌👍😎
Hello,
I watch all your videos,
I have tried it myself and one thing I found is that if you use the blue towels for when you work on your car, they can be used to apply the shoe cream and polish.
It worked for me at least.
So can you give it a go, maybe it is a good tip for people to get those towels for a single use applications instead of a shirt.
Very informative video. We have 3 months of Monsoon in India. So we can't wear leather shoes from June to September. If I do wear and it gets muddy I will know what to do. Thank you.
Classy reshoevenator
Good looking boots. Would like to have a pair
They look great, I'm so used to just seeing a cap toe dress boot, that the wing tip really makes me want one now lol
ApolloMoonLandings John Does Shoes MTO have a wingtip boot you may like
ApolloMoonLandings no problem, they seem to have great leather to choose from and different styles. Customer service seems good. I just bought my first shoes with their buy 3 pay 2 program, so hoping they fit as no returns 😅
Those boots are from Allen Edmonds ,Dalton boots, I love them I got five pair of them
Help Preston. I'm trying to take good care of our leather shoes. I got Renovateur, amazing. Creams, are amazing. I got Medaille D'or 1925 Neutral... all it seems to do is remove the Ren., cream, and dry out the leather almost as much as acetone... What have I missed?
You make me wanna take up shoes cleaning and maintaining as a hobby
OH MY...so, so nice!!!
Thank you!!!
Hi, I have only just today discovered your channel and I'm amazed at the content and knowledge that you have! I'm actually looking to purchase myself a pair of Cheaney & Sons Black Oxford Toe Cap with leather sole - my first ever pair of fine shoes. I'm a little concerned with the leather sole and the potential to slip and fall (I'm 6ft5 so its a long way down!!). Do you have any tips on how to obtain more grip with leather soles?
Look up Blakey's Segs
C'mon give us more videos Preston! Don't be shy!
Me encantan tus videos pero puedes mostrar todo el proceso del lustrado de los zapatos
Hey I just wanna say 1st that i love your channel and it has got me into shoe care! Secondly i have a pair or mid tan brogues which i've unfortunately spilt some neatsfoot oil onto (dont ask) its heavily darkened the leather in areas. Is there anyway to remove this or am i now going to have to put neats foot on the whole shoe?
Picked up a pair of pink Dr. Martin's with a large white spot on one boot. Any recommendations? I don't want to leave water spots or remove pink color as I don't think I can get that color. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.
"Don't ever toss a pair of shoes just because they've gone through the ringer."
Wish I knew this when Allen Edmonds called me and told me a pair was beyond their recrafting, so I told them to just throw them away. I loved those shoes!
It’s ok Nick. Allen Edmonds can only do so much. They usually avoid jobs that are out of the ordinary.
For rescue missions, there are some great cobblers like Steve from Bedo’s leather works that can help.
@@TheElegantOxford Thanks. Continuously learning! At least I'm learning better about caring for my shoes. I've only read some articles here and there, and it's actually seeing your videos where I can see what they COULD look like is what's causing me to want to actually shine my shoes more often, and with more effort. Thanks!
Please make a resto vid for white and black wing tips. thanks
Those shoes were actually in a pretty good shape
Tell us more about the products you used, didn't quite catch them
Hola soy de México y me gustaría saber dónde puedo comprar esos productos para mis zapatos. Gracias
I don't know why I am here. All I know is that this is extremely relaxing to watch.
Thanks for watching
As always, excellent.
Would you do a video with care and restore shoos for the cities where it rains a lot.
I can imagine there are more people like me that is that weather where we live in but we like and need to use dress shoes.
Thanks
I need to find some boots like that. Those would look perfect with my kilts.
Do you recommend mink oil to put on shoes and boots?
what do you think of just rinsing and brushing under running water until the boot is clean? I have a wax application brush to saddle soap my boots under running water or with a big bowl of water. I like to treat my boots like a car. as more sand as more water and no sponge to not scratch the surface.
Thank you so much
