When I buy bew shoes, I always clean, nourish, use a cream, then polish, and like you just demonstrated so very well, add a shine to the toe. All with Saphir products
Nice tip. I’ve been polishing my shoes with traditional “spit shine” method since I was 6 years old. Learned it from my two brothers who are 10 and 9 years older than I. I’m 67 now and still love my shoes shined before wear them. Nice tip with blue polish. Will give it a try.
It has a great shine and is a good-looking formal dress shoe. I normally buy Allen Edmonds dress shoes, but I might have to give Crokket & Jones a try. Thanks for showing your videos.
I’m sure that I have read that navy blue pigment is added to the black inks used for fountain pens, printing and tattoo inks. Maybe the navy blue makes the black “blacker”.
Personally I would wait whilst the need re soleing and the ask for a Danite soul etc. Most warranties are voided with the manufacturer if the shoes are added to by a cobbler ( except heels). There are so many to choose from now with Danite soles🤝🤝
i've been using saphir navy shoe polish (not wax) on some of my black shoes as an experiment. if i understand correctly, the shoe will just have a deeper shade of black rather than having tints of navy yes?
Question, I use similar products but find after wearing my shoes post polish they last for a few hours before they lose the shine and show minor scuffs. Any way around this?
I find that with a good few layers of polish on… you can quickly brush of dust , then breathe on the them and buff them back to a very wearable standard… 45 seconds🥂
Calf shoes in a hand grade do , but regular line are polished but not taken to the next level. Some people don’t like the ‘bulked’ look and find it hard to keep with. 🤝
@@rhodeswood5513 thank you for this. And for confirming that I have only ever bought regular line shoes! I did use to buy Cheaneys or Church’s (from shops on Jermyn Street which I don’t think was a clever financial decision) and always wondered why they came - to my mind - half polished. Now I know; I’m a regular line guy; not special; just common; a failure; a let down to myself and the family.
Nice presentation style. Highly Appreciated.
So nice of you🥂

Just watched your video and decided to use navy polish on my black leather bag. It's come up a treat!!
Thank you.

When bulling my ammo boots etc I always finished with a final layer of dark tan as it enhances the black .
Yes we do that on tan/chestnut and use navy in black … but I will try the dark brown .. thank you 🤝🤝
Thanks for that tip about navy blue
Navy on Black 👍

Great video with solid advice. Curious, what kind of watch are you wearing?
It’s a 1930’s inspired doctors watch in a bi metal tiger stripe , similar ( but not) a Rolex Prince
Dear Sirs, should I have new shoes fitted with a protective sole? Thank you here from Vienna in Austria, best wishes, Manfred Knie

I would do it the other way round… black cream polish … then navy wax on the toes…. It’s the difference in shine that makes it look shinier 🤝

Are those Crockett & Jones shoes? Extremely sharp!
Yes they are🥂
Do you sell the Highbury shoes online? I am located in Rhode Island, USA? I wish I could stop by but that’s not possible.
We can only sell them via email info@rhodeswood.co.uk
Vat is taken out and we ship to the USA🤝🤝
Nice👍🏾👌🏾
Thank You for the tip.
Does this style of Derby have a particular name?
Looks almost like a shark collar.
Best Regards,
Harald
The style is called Highbury🥂
Made by Crockett & Jones in Northampton.
Why don’t shoes come with the kind of shine you achieved? It is akin to buying a pair of trousers that had not been pressed or a un ironed shirt

Not bad. Sure I could show you a thing or two.
Please do… why not put up a video
Amazing
Thanks
