- Complete restoration and modification of an original pair of Allen Edmonds McAllisters. I turned them into a pair of Broadstreets.
This can be done using Angelus Leather paints, a brush, and LOTS of patience!

Steve from Bedo's sent me here, Im a big fan of the spectator shoe, You made a cracking job well done Sir.
Great job! Is amazing the talent you and Steve have.👌👍
Unbelievable transformation, just lovely!
How have these held up? I tried to do something similar, but the paint always ended up cracking and eventually peeling.
I ended up buying a pair of ivory wingtips and dyeing the brown parts instead, which worked fine.
I hope yours worked out better than my attempt, because you did a really magnificent job.
Motivates me to start some customs. I already restore Jordan and dress shoes will raise my game. Thanks for great vid.
How do the shoes quality hold up after painting them like this?
@@devonr7497 pls answer
@@jt_olakunle No idea man, sorry
Great job!😊😊😊😊
awesome job, looking forward to more videos.
Ditto, Steve. Shoes turned out pretty spiffy. Your channel teams well with Bedo’s. Thanks for making the video.
I came over to your channel after watching Steve at Bedo's work on the other set of shoes you did. Nice work. Good luck with the channel.
Thanks a lot for the knowledge. I love watching these videos.
There is something so satisfying and addicting about rescuing and restoring shoes especially if their origins are of high quality.
Is there an Al-Anon for this kind of addiction?
The same with me. Steve sent me here. NIce addition to his videos.
Really great work! I've recently gotten into dyeing dress shoes, your video has given me some techniques to chew on.
How do the shoes quality hold up after doing this to them?
I have a pair of spectator shoes white and blue but I want to dye them black the entire shoes.. can the black dye cover the white acrylic paint? Or how I can remove the white paint?
That's a question better posed to Steve with Bedo's Leather.
Hi, I was curious to know if the acrylic paint after wearing these shoes for a while comes off? Great video! Barbara from Italy
@creativerestorations why sand them? can you not just dye over top of the old finish?
I got a pair of very nice lobb spectators (calf & suede) off ebay that were involved in a flood. Bought the supplies to try to re-dye, but holding off because I'm worried about the little spots showing through (dont want to go dark just to hide).
Fantastic work - I’ve dyed a pair of shoes and didn’t thin the dye enough. Thin coats are super important.
Also: the McAllister is on the 5 last while the Broadstreet is on the 3 last.
Great work! Love the fondling comment!! Hahahaha
can this only be achieved with paint instead of dye?
Interesting shoes, not popular here in Oz I wouldn’t think (don’t think I have ever seen them here) but good to watch nonetheless.! I think. You can be very proud of your efforts.
Very cool!
Have I missed something? Why all the detail with the masking tape protection if Steve is going to replace the soles and heels?anyway?
I wasn't protecting the soles and heels as much as I was protecting the welt.
How have these shoes worn? The white paint has longevity?
Not a single issue with them. The paint is specially designed to work with leather. So, all is good!
Nice job.
Next time though, turn the phone camera to horizontal.
Doug, what brand and color white did you use? Also, any recommendation for a brush?
Looks like Angelus paint, it's a popular brand among sneaker enthusiasts. I've used their dyes before but never their paint, though it's well regarded.
actually at @27:00 he starts talking about the paints and shows them. Angelus flat white as a primer and then cream on top of the white.
Badass!
What's creepier? Him "getting off" on "fondling his shoes", watching for an hour, or the sense of satisfaction one gets from the finished project⁉️
(asking for a friend) 😉🤪
Please, rotate your phone. This video is unwatchable on a PC or Notebook :/
Sorry about that. It was my very first TH-cam video. All videos from here on out are (and will be) done correctly!
I always welcome constructive criticism.
