Preston, really appreciate your calm voice and the recognition that you don't have to keep up a constant patter. The silence between your instructions is perfect...the actions in the video speak for themselves. Well done!
SOOOOOO YOUR SECRET IS OUT!!!!!! A MAGIC SHOE BRUSH AND CREAMS LEFT BEHIND BY A TRAVELING VAGABOND! Your Grandfather was good to him, so he left him the magic brush and creams. They were left to a good man of good deeds. Now passed down to you. Congratulations on inheriting such a treasure.
Preston, your quick tutorial on how to wrap that rag around your fingers and where you got the rag is a mystery that has now been solved. I know simple things like this may seem inconsequential to other people, but for people like myself who want to learn how to do these things, it is just another piece of the big puzzle. Thank you.
HI, PRESTON!!! This video came just in time, as I'm about to try to get back into shining shoes! Had my surgery, got no legs now, but just because I don't wear shoes doesn't mean I can't learn all I can from you, Steve @ Bedo's, and Kirby! You 3 are my faves, you know? I'll take what I already knew, and what I've learned, and really try to get out there and shine some shoes! 😍
Finally someone who is not afraid to use some good saddle soap on his precious shoes. In Mexico we call this one jabón de calabaza. "Pumpkin soap" great stuff, overly underrated.
I'm so happy I found your video. I bought the exact same products yesterday and even though the seller gave me a lot of info I still needed some clarifications.
Thank you for your videos. I started shoe shining with your videos and your recommended products. I have never had such success in shoe shing before. Saphire renovator is something unbelievable
Great video, I were looking how to restore the colour of my 70$ shoes, the products that you showed in the video are great but if I buy them it will cost more then my shoes probably I will just buy another shoes. But I have to admit you are very talented.
Sapphire products are great, but they are expensive and not available except online. I use old fashioned Kiwi polish- it's more work, but I can get excellent results from it. I think the important thing here is to polish your dam shoes 👞!
Preston, can you talk about the color choices for cream and wax? I know black for black but do I need all different shades of brown or can I cheat a bit with the natural or med brown?
@@TheElegantOxford Saphir seems to have a wide variety and a neutral. You could approach it by talking about each option too.... That might take a while. Maybe touch on brown black neutral and how to cheat a bit in a particular direction as brown has so many shades
Thanks so much for making this video. I have been debating purchasing a pair of Bond Street from AE in this exact colour, so this was really useful to see exactly how they would look with a nice shine. Got a few questions if you have time to respond: 1. How long did it take you to bring out that mirror shine from scratch on a fresh pair of shoes? 2. How often would you recommend completely pulling off old polish and starting a shine from scratch? 3. As a follow-up to 2, how often does calf need to be conditioned and rehydrated with something like renovateur? Thanks again!
Hello! Really love your videos! Anyway, im starting to build my shoe shine kit (starting with renovateur and creme 1925, u actually inspired me to buy), now my question is, what does a weekly maintenance shine routine entail? Does it always include the saddle soap then renovateur then creme then wax? Or should it just be brush, then renovateur then creme?
It largely depends on how much use/abuse you're subjecting your footwear; work boots are going to have a lot more dirt/grime than dress shoes worn in an office. Sounds like your shoes are mainly in an office environment, so daily brushing should be part of your daily dressing routine. Polish on a weekend day and condition monthly. If you want that high gloss shine, have at it but as long as your shoes are brushed daily and not subjected to dirt/grime, brushing daily really keeps them in shape.
Hi I do have some question. I just got my new pair of tassel loafers and I am a newbie into shoe shining community, is there a difference between applying the leather conditioner by bare fingers and by using a chamois? Also how often do you preferred to condition and polish it base on your experience as a professional? Hope you receive my comments Sir, Thank you
Great videos. Very informative but I'm really interested to know what you do with the insole on a pair of shoes you find in a second hand shop. They will presumably have a well established footprint from the previous owner.
Hi Preston, I really love your channel. I wish you were close by as learn so much from you. Can you suggest a link for the Sapir Bordeaux polish? Can I purchase it on Amazon? I can't find it in my searches so far. I have a gorgeous vintagev70s attache case that is a brownish burgundy color with heavy purple undertones. Love your channel and love your passion for what you do. I'm a college professor I love to teach.
what is renovator? some people ay its hard on leather and is for "cleaning", others use it like a moisturising balm. Do you use it every time before cream and wax? only ocationally?
@@alvinsanchez967 .. I was just reading replies and saw the dishwasher idea,.. -- its not good for brushes made of wood or animal hair... the holes holding the hairs can grow mold if wet, .. wet hairs and wood expand as they absorb moisture.. For shoe cleaning and polishing- Only the ends/ tips of the hairs would need cleaning..
I've really been enjoying your channel. Question - do you need a horse hair brush for every color polish you use? Or is one good enough for black/brown/whatever?
Thank you for this video bro. I love the shoe kit 😍. I have this question,is it possible to use plastic shoe trees instead of a cedar shoe tree since wooden shoe trees were expensive? By the way, you have a nice divers watch bro! From the looks it is an Omega Seamaster...
Yes, I don’t recommend it but if you don’t have another option, plastic is better than nothing. You can get a fairly cheap cedar tree off eBay if you have to.
@@TheElegantOxford Thanks bro for the reply. I think I must invest at those cedar shoe trees 🖒. I've done one shoe restoration ( boots with cracks) and I used neutral shoe polish and a shoe cream to rehydrate the leather and the results went well. Saphir products are expensive, do you have any alternatives to it bro?
I have a question. I bought Allen Edmonds loafers. I don’t want them to be “shiny”. So what do I do? Do I just use Renovator and maybe Saphir cream? But the cream, I’m also not sure, because like I said, I don’t want them to be shiny, I just want them to look casual. But also, I want to protect them from scuffs, scratches, which the Saphir mirror gloss does, am I right? So I really don’t know what to do.
I've read that using wax polish on your leather shoes too often can cause wax to build up, solidify gradually and then risk chipping off. Is this an actual problem? If yes, how often should you use that product?
How can I remove old paste and gloss without using aceton? Can I do that by brushing? I have used aceton for an old shoe which was in bad condition and it helped a lot but I # don't want to use aceton regularly?
Hi, does the wax polish tend to remove some of the colour from the shoe on it's very first application? This happens to me whenever I apply the first coat of Pate de Luxe, mainly on shoes with a bit of a dyed patina on them. Subsequent coats don't do that however.
@@TheElegantOxford If we were not here, bees would probably not exist. It took agriculture to clear space for the meadows for the flowers to grow and the bees to pollinate and produce honey. Without us, there would have been far fewer if any bees and no beeswax shoe cream. No bees, no Elegant Oxford ;)
It's best to have different brushes for different colors... most can get by with dark and light brushes.. shoes that are white, yellow, pink.. green.. orange.. and other pale stand alone colors.. should have their own brush.
It's just a little technique. See how few products are needed overall, a cloth and brush to apply. Saphir brand renovateur and cream polish are not that expensive. A few layers rubbed in will get that shine.
Seiko -> grand seiko #1 show of people that really appreciate quality and craftsmanship over anything else. Perfect match for someone spending hours cleaning and restoring high quality shoes!
I bought a vintage Seiko from my local thrift store for $5. Looks like new and works perfectly. The deals are out there if you look for them. Now I can look like a million bucks on a 7-11 budget

hi, sorry for the late response. i admire your tenacity and i think continuing after such a life-altering event is extremely admirable. hopefully you're well
Items mentioned in this video 1-Cedar Shoe trees (Preston Soto AE Enthusiasts) 2- 100% Horse Hair Brush (Del Mar #999) 3- Saddle Soap (Brand : Avel) Savon Cuir Lisse Leather Soap 4-Saphir Renovator (Leather conditioner) 5-Saphir medaille D’or Cream Polish 6-Saphir Pate De Luxe Mirror Gloss 7- Edge Dressing Fiebings (Black Sole Edge and Heel Polish) Shoe used in this video: Allen Edmonds Bond Street in Burgundy
Like the idea of cutting up cotton shirts. One other method I might suggest is old bed sheets. I had a set of 100% cotton flannel bed sheets that had gotten enough use as bed sheets. So I then just cut it into strips and found a new purpose for them. Has worked out well so far.
I have a shoe box and brush that belong to my grandpa from 1960’s that is exactly like this one. My mom and dad gave it to him for Christmas one year. I remembered I had it in storage. Going this week to get it and start using it. Ordering Saphir from Amazon this week. Me and a friend sell used shoes on eBay that we get at thrift stores and clean up. Got a pair of shoe tress for $6 and a pair of Allen Edmond’s for $3.99 at American Thrift store today. Going to be a fun project to restore them. These videos have opened doors for us. Thanks for what you do.
Your videography and presentation are perfect! Thank you for the tutorial. One thing I'd be curious about is how often do you go through these steps for a pair of shoes, let's say, for a pair of oxfords that you wear 5 days a week to the office. I didn't know about the importance of the conditioning step until just recently. I'd like to treat my shoes right going forward.
Can you write us what saphire products we should use and in what order please because in the 3 minute of the video you said wax and you didnt mentioned it before...We are confused...
I am so glad you mention your brush...I love to shine my shoes, my brush is a family heirloom and best guess, it's about 120 years old...I got it from my Father, who got it from his...Tradition and connection...Love your video
👍Yay!! I finally found the video where you demonstrate how to tie the cloth around your two fingers!!! Thank you!!! I’m so excited to do my classic everyday Christian Louboutin pumps and ankle boots this weekend!! 🤗
I only have the Safir cream polisher and honestly don’t really wanna spend extra money on a moisturizer. Or other creams do you think it would be enough if I really only use the polisher?
Hi Preston! love your Vids so much! I got 3 colored shoes (black, dark brown, and burgundy) what color of polish do you suggest? I already got neutral saphir shoes creme and polish, should I buy creme and polish for each shoes?
Thanks for detailed video and I now want to transition to saphir. I use my dads old shoe box and brushes that he used to use when he was in Mexico shining shoes and I am glad he had passed down his knowledge to me. I also enjoy watching your videos because it has improved my skills dramatically! Once again thanks for this awesome video

You videos inspired me to take better care of my shoes and thanks to them found a great hobby in restoring old shoes thank you
Thank you for making it enjoyable to polish shoes. I use the products you recommended and they are the best
You need your own website or at least affiliate links so we know how/where to get these items easily! And you deserve credit for us purchasing them!

Great content as usual
Can you please link the products?
I have one rule about shoe care I can show friends and family how to but never do it for them respect and self sufficient dignity from head to toe
@The Elegant Oxford Does your brush ever get dirty? Do you ever have to clean it? If so how?
tent405 - I think you can just clean it with a cloth, then throw the cloth in regular wash.
I don’t have to clean it but if you did, soap and water would work.
Dawn dishwashing detergent and warm water will clean your brushes well. Rinse thoroughly afterwards and dry bristles down overnight or longer.
Hairbrushes can be cleaned in a dishwasher. So it may also apply to shoe brushes.

Thank you.
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed. Is there anywhere we can buy these where you will get a commission?
No need, you can get Saphir at Selekt Supply or The Hanger Project.

Where did you get the custom shoe trees? Are they available to the general public?
How long does it take to shine these shoes with so many products? And more importantly how long does the mirror shine last?
Does the polish/wax seep through the cloth you use to apply? Seems like my fingers come out looking the same color as the shoes after I polish.
Yes, you will get some polish on your fingers naturally while shining shoes. Wear gloves if needed.
