Custom Patina on Allen Edmonds St. John's Monkstraps: Walnut to Black Cherry

- A fun little project today. Taking an almost new pair of Allen Edmonds St. John's double monkstrap and comverting from the original Walnut to a custom Black Cherry patina with a custom patina sole. There wasn't anything wrong with the original color but the client wanted something different and hopefully I delivered. The shine really came out quite brilliant on this one. Let me know what you think!
Heeeey these are my AEs!!! I've been extremely satisfied with this transformation Michael, thank you! I didn't even know you did a video of this project. What a pleasant surprise. Oh yeah, they were indeed brand new, only tried on for size. I've worn them many times & no major crease nor crack in the mirror shine. These shoes are still looking good. The sole dye was also a nice surprise.
I don't wanna seem like I'm blowing smoke, but I can't believe how good these turned out! Something about that ox blood color with that little bit of dark just makes these spectacular! Great work!!!
Thanks so very much. The only thing I feel could be improved was the burnishing didn't have quite as much of a fade as I would like but I think once they were polished it blended things much better. I think on the feet they would look great though.
@@mbshoedoc yeah most definitely. Always cool to see how it comes together in the end
WOW, Michael those are BEAUTIFUL 😍 ❤!!!
Thank you my friend 👍
I love this, thank you. This is what I want to do for my project.
Man that is just beautiful.
Thank you much!
AWESOME! 👍😎
YOU ARE THE MAN👞
Thanks man 👊
Great work as usual Mike. Result is incredible.
No it's not great work. You must be his dad trying to prop up your failure of a son.
I really appreciate it 🙏
@@bobfarley4102 What a disgusting thing to say. Who are you and what is your problem?
Very nice. I definitely need to send you some of my shoes. Great work as usual!!
That is very kind of you. Always happy to discuss a patina project. Send me an email anytime 👍
Love that Oxblood with the black burnishing absolutely beautiful. I may try to do that on a pair of shoes as well as changing one to Navy. I have already started some minor patina experimentation on a couple of pairs.
Thanks very much! Be careful with navy. The yellow base color of most shoes makes the blue dye lean green. If you can find a grey shoe to start the transition to blue is easier. I have a blue patina video as well that may help.
@@mbshoedoc awesome thanks
Beautiful. Looks like totally different shoes.
Thanks man, I appreciate it 🙏
Double-plus gorgeous!
Thank you much. Definitely a bold pair after the patina but I like bold shoes 💪
nice work indeed
Thanks very much!
Very nice job!
Many thanks 🙏
Wow amazing!!
Much appreciated my friend 🙏
Well I do have to say, after watching his videos, step by step, I've decided that first thing tomorrow morning, I will go out and buy Fiebings and Angelus, Leather Dye, and start a project on a pair of New York Vintage boot. I will take a picture of before and after, then post it. I have written all the colors I need.
Sounds great. Don't forget some acetone and rubber gloves for stripping. Only other recommendation is to find a thrift store or cheap eBay pair as a first project and then move onto your personal pair 👍
I Love all you’re unique work. Can you please add the products that you are using greatly appreciated
I think I name the products I use as I use them in most of my videos. If you have a specific question about a product let me know. I am happy to answer.
Hello doc,newbie question, what is the advantage of applying base layer of Fiebings oxblood (lighter), over directly using angelus oxblood only (darker)?
Will be the result be very different?
Thanks, subscribed
Thanks for the sub! Honestly I don't know if there is an advantage or not. It started a few years ago where I did a fiebings first coat and found it to be too pink and adding the angelus over it gave me the exact shade I wanted. Angelus out of the bottle appears very red to me where the fiebings has a more purple hue though lighter. I have not tried Angelus alone but think it might lean too red on its own. So we will call it a Bob Ross style "happy little accident" and I have just stuck with doing it that way.
Perfect
Thanks a lot man!
Color out of stock or discontinued? Buy Walnut and have it custom dyed lol
I mean...You're not wrong. That could totally be done. Grab some pre owned pairs off of ebay and fix them up...Like a brand new pair after.
Awesome ! ! Did you use water based dye or oil based ?
I use Fiebings, Angelus and Saphir dyes all interchangeably. All are alcohol based. You can dilute them with regular rubbing alcohol.
Is it better to do this brand new or used or completely broken-in shoes and/or boots? I want to do this myself, but I’m pretty new to and I want to have the best finish I can do.
Great work, can you do this in navy? Cost and procedure to send shoes to you.
The patina is not fading into the other color.
Doc, I aim to achieve ae bordeaux color, what dye/dyes do you recommend? Thanks
Sorry I can't be as specific as that. I don't know AE Bordeaux in particular. You will likely have to mix and match and play around to get what you want. I like fiebing oxblood, Angelus oxblood and Saphir Bordeaux. Add a drop of black to darken, add a splash of alcohol to dilute and lighten. I like to test a stripe of each color on a sheet of white paper to see how they look when dry. That's about all I can tell you. Hope that helps.
@@mbshoedoc thanks for the input I will these tips
What was the color of the first angelous used? Thanks and a great tutorial!
So glad you liked it. First is the Angelus version of oxblood. A touch darker and redder than the fiebings version.
Looking to get something like this done. Can anyone do do this, or do I need to take my shoes to a shoe cobbler or someone of the sort? Thanks.
I would say anyone can do it but you may want to practice on thrift store shoes or cheap ebay pairs first. Be careful of sending them to a cobbler. Some do great and others claim to be able to do it but lack the talent.
@@mbshoedoc ok thank you for the response. Love your channel
Less is more.
Meaning you like the patina and it's subtle enough, or meaning nope, too bold?
Too much black everywhere.
Bad dye job. Amateur looking Nobody would be proud to own those.
Wow that is incredibly rude. While I don't think it's the best patina I have ever done I think the end result looked very good. I would be interested to see your work since you judge mine to be so amateur.
@@mbshoedoc I just thought he was being a smart-ass but I could be wrong....
@@mbshoedoc Absolutely stunning...
I would be green with envy aswell if I only ever wore velcro tennis shoes like Bob Farley...
@@josephheinecke1992 I don't think so as he made another comment that was perhaps even worse. What a miserable person 🤷♂️.
@@paulblanks1239 Haha thanks man. I have no clue where this troll came from and how someone can be so full of hate. It's disgusting really. I appreciate you backin me up 👊
