Wow this is not an ordinary shoe shine, it's a complete restauration. They look like brand new. Congratulation to Sir you are an outstanding professionnel.
@@devanhughes8060 Another keyboard warrior Before commenting, try to grasp the meanings of the words you’re using.

Great job sir! Back in 1968 I was a 6th grader. After school, I worked in a barber shop shining shoes.Saturday all day.I'll never forget the smell of saddle soap and Shinola. I was the kid who always had some change in my pocket. This video brought back some great memories.
There was a black stain you could use if needed. Came in a blue can with yellow letters. Then black kiwi on top. Some would use neutral after the black for an extra pop.
Back in the mid 70's to early 80's, I had the same pair of Frye Boots. I'd visit my neighborhood Cobbler & Shoe Shine Shop 3 times a year for a shine and also had the soles replaced every 24 months average. Best money spent. Frye Boots were the best at that time and mine always look brand new. As I look up to the sky, thank you Mr. Mooshagian. You were the best.
@@cabooseplays1466my guess is its used as a marker for where the frame ends but rather than use a floor sticker he picked something thats nice to look at
From the video title, my first thought was “For $100 shine, I’d sooner just buy new shoes.” After watching, my reaction is “Wow! Those ARE new shoes!” Impressive transformation. Cheers.
Leather boots like that are often $400+ for a good quality brand that will last many years (or basically until your feet outgrow them because they can be cleaned like this, re-soled when the sole gets too thin, have small holes in the leather patched up, have new shoelace hooks put in if they get torn out, etc) It’s one of those things of “should I spent $50 twice every year buying cheap shoes, or should I spend $400 once for shoes that will last 10+ years and just maintain them”
@@elenalizabethThat context really helps explain how shiners and cobblers were once a more common trade, people used to spend money to get shoes or boots that really last, while these days our shoes are produced and replaced cheaply, usually in China. Makes me wonder if the profession would become more popular again if we moved more of that manufacturing back to the U.S. and other western countries, with the idea being that quality would go up, but so would price, meaning maintenance would become worthwhile over replacement again.
@@kristoferprovencal3608 they are still in demand, but mostly now they’re used only by well off people who want to get their Prada or Louboutin etc designer shoes shined and repainted for a fancy function. However there are still local shoe shops (at least where I live in Australia) that do minor things like buff/shine shoes, replace damaged shoelace hooks, re-glue soles that are coming apart, etc. But that only really works if the shoes are made from real leather (none of that “vegan leather” stuff that’s just some form of plastic or plant fibre), or are a high quality boot designed to be repaired (like hiking boots). Yes unfortunately nowadays most people would rather just spend less money more often in buying low quality products that will last a lot less time, instead of saving to buy more expensive products that will last far longer. And then there’s also the environmental cost of that in that all those cheap ones are going to landfill too as they cannot be repaired so they just get thrown out. I believe the term is “planned obsolescence” 🤔
I was also thinking about my father. He was a tough guy and worked a very hard job where he left before I even woke up to go to school. But a couple times a week, he would find some time in the morning to shine my shoes. He was trying to make me understand that it is a very important thing for a man.
Kudos again. I absolutely LOVE to see history in action ... cleaning with a railroad spike. My great grandpa did this. An old technique that's still used today because of folks like you. Thank you for keeping tradition alive!!
It looks like a railroad spike to me 🤔 It’s got the flat top where it would be hammered in, and it looks exactly like the spikes we got when they pulled up the old railway line near our house.
I feel if it were a chisel that it would have an actual handle, not the flat top. But for all I know, there are ones out there that look like this. To me, it looks like a giant nail, and I would have gone to repurposed rail spike before going to chisel.
Angelo, your videos are amazing. You have been putting me to sleep for a year and I am grateful! A request from a long time watcher, could you put those those ankle sock protector things on so when you lather the top of the boots it doesn’t get on the socks? I just love the extra care when they slide those on.
Wow thank you! This is such a good ASMR video. The sounds are lovely. I didnt realize this video was going to bring up old memories of watching my dad clean and polish his cowboy boots in the living room when i was a kid.

@@michellekleingers8238 Most shoe polishes are wax based, so using a lighter helps it melt into the pores of the leather.

Frankly, you can do the same with a hair dryer, but I imagine that wouldn't be great on an ASMR video. 😂
I might be wrong , but those boots look like Wolverine 1000 mile cap toe boots. They are around $400 dollars , also they are black boots not brown. This man is a great boot black. Those in the know will know what I'm saying.
I didn't know you can use a chisel to peel off old wax buildup and some burrs, heck, I didn't know you can dye them again like that paintbrush. Thanks for the video.

I've wondered how to shine my own iron rangers without dyeing the stitches 🤔 thanks for the tutorial. Hopefully we meet one day and we can discuss boots 👍
When I was over in Chicago I always wanted a decent shoe shine. No there was an old guy recommended who worked the airport so I took me and my old scuffed Chelsea boots to him and it was like NEW BOOTS! TOP JOB on these Brown boots well done! In the forces they taught us how to shine shoes though with the old 'flame' technique works a treat!
There was a shoe shop in the town next to ours.I loved to go there and watch them work on shoes and smell the leather.The shops name was Pellizzaris 2 generations of Italians .I can see why he didn’t buy new boots ! You sir are amazing at your job!
The summer of ‘69, fresh out of grade school, I shined shoes at our back-door neighbor who had a “Men’s Hairstylist” barber shop. Scraping the boot after the wash is new to me. Ha! Fifty cents was my rate. Bought a 10-speed Schwin from the earnings. Used my fingers to put the polish on.
@@devourerofsnacks …shined about $10/day, plus another $10 on Saturday evenings to cleanup the 6 barbershop areas and mop the floor, vacuum the carpet. Pretty good $ for an almost 14 yr. old kid.
