Hey, I just wanted to thank you. You probably won't see this, but your mirror shine video 5 years ago taught me how to shine my shoes to perfection. I passed every uniform inspection, I even got shiniest shoes of the year. I go to a Military Academy, so this really got me out of potential sticky situations on numerous occasions. I recommended your channel to anyone who needed help shining thier shoes, just as a little payback for your help. Again, thank you so much for teaching me.
Superb job, you never cease to amaze. My son is starting 6th form so I bought him his first pair of Northampton made Barkers. Oxford Wingtip Brogues (Cedar). They are gorgeous. Got them in London and the lady realising father son moment joined in with the experience and gave us a discount. £260.00 including shoe trees, shoehorn and two pairs of laces. Anyway thought you all might find this interesting. Great day out and I’m a bit envious of his shoes. I might have to go back.
Gorgeous shoes, took to another level by a true craftsman. Beautiful work Preston.
Went to the website after this review and no wide sizes. This is one thing AE does very well. I can always find a EEE shoe
Nice video ! And yes, I explore shoes from other countries these days, been buying from different brands from China with lower prices (not Acme), and shoemaking indeed has evolved higher. Some can have custom coloring or design too. Been looking at CNES Vietnam as well, good prices.
Absolutely beautiful Preston! I literally wanted to reach through my screen and put those on!
Thank you Justin. I appreciate your words
Saludos desde Altamira Tamaulipas México 🇲🇽👍
Gracias! Extraño las tortas de la barda.
Tendremos que ir, hablo mocho el inglés pero me daré la vuelta, ahora a ahorrar para salir con unos zapatos.
Absolutely beautiful shoes.
Preston! I love your videos, have you ever done a Q&A or is there some way I can send you a photo for advice? I need advice on how to save some Allen Edmonds Nashua loafers: the textured leather has dark spots, light spots some areas just look gunky. Thanks! I hope your channel grows and grows!
Hey Mariel. I do have a 100 question q&a you can look up.

Super outstanding!
Not shined?! Harumph, I say!
Best part is that Preston's version of "not shined" is basically just as shiny as any of my calfskin... And thus, I now wear exclusive shell.
Edit: literally I cannot tell based on this brief presentation that the starting colors of these shoes was actually radically different. That's downright impressive.
Hi Preston - I have recently become introduced to your videos and enjoy them very much. Question for you - as a Canadian it can be tough getting a hold of a good pair of shoes like Allen Edmonds since the currency conversion and duties hit us so hard. I was wondering if you know of any shoemakers that would be easier to purchase for a Canadian around $300 CAD that could be easily returned as well. I was considering Spier & Mckay but would love your thoughts.
I just stumbled across your video...amazing. Now for the million-dollar question you have been asked answered - can I send you my shoes to restore? I await the details.
very nice !
hello. i am looking to buy my first pair of black oxfords. which brands would you recommend?
Hey, great video! Also, I accidentally burnt my boots when doing fire shining. Now I can't get them to shine. I don't know if it is similar to a dry spot.
I don't have tiny baby feet. sucks they don't have anything larger than size 11 us
Sub ... that's amazing 👏 👏👏👏
Is there such a thing as a closed-channeled Blake stick sole?
What is the background music? It is so soothing. Great to listen to.
Hi you work good
when putting down layers of pate de luxe, must the previous layer dry in order to put down the next layer successfully?
i just spent the past 4 hours trying to get my first mirror shine, and it seemed like i got better results when i went slower on each layer, which i thought might have given each layer more time to dry before adding another layer.
I don’t wait between layers but it that works for you, then do it.
Everyone has a different method that they must learn through trial and error. You’ve made a personal breakthrough!
Hey Preston. I used acetone to remove the mirror shine on my shoes and unfortunately it removed the original dye. Now the shade is much lighter in some areas and I hope I didn’t damage the leather too much. Can you recommend which Saphir Pommadier color to apply to restore the original shade? They are vegano dark brown Artista 218 from TLB Mallorca. Maybe just the dark brown polish? Thanks!
I would like to have a pairs of oxblood Oxford shoes. How can I get it from your bespoke?
Sir, should we use separate shoe brush for black, brown and navy shoes?
Do explore blkbrd shoes from India. Handwelted below 200usd
Where is the link to the shoe company? Good looking shoe!!
We need more high end shoe makers producing size 14 and 15.
Andre the Giant size? Why?
I definitely agree. Our Large shoe brethren need representation
Can i renovateur straight on a waxed shined shoe, or do i need to isopropyl it off first?
What country are the shoes manufactured in? I can’t find anything on the website
can you help sir 🙏 I got old johnston and murphy shoes
Iam from India can you help sir 🙏 I got old johnston and murphy shoes

How can I contact by email or phone?

Watching this video, you remind me of Thing from The Addams Family.
Your channel is extremely enjoyable but I must correct your pronunciation of bespoke. It's not bess-poke. It's be-spoke. As you know, the word comes from the practice of bespeaking, i.e. verbally specifying the details of your shoes or clothing.
Ah, tomayto tomahto, when will the great debate be settled? The world may never know.
👍300 =)
Please supple me with your company online sale or direct store address. I want to order quality shoes and belts I believe you have numbers that is your identity that you are known for.
"bi-spoke"
Ummm….firstly, the language employed……seamless and bespoke is wrong and misleading….these are a factory made shoe; they are certainly not hand welted; they are factory machine welted by a human operator. Also, they are neither a seamless or bespoke in construction. The stitch density on the sole is too low also. They are playing fast and loose with language. Caveat emptor.
Let me clarify a few things you got wrong here:
1. The company Seamless Bespoke is so named because they are primarily a bespoke clothier. They are suit, trouser, and shirt specialists. The name is not in reference to shoes, I never said it was either. It’s just the name of the company as a whole: clothing and shoes from various brands included. Using the word bespoke for a company that makes bespoke clothing is wholly appropriate.
2. Yes, the shoes are hand welted. That is a fact. Remember, for a shoe to be considered a hand-welt, the welt must be stiched to the upper by hand, as these are. Afterward, the leather sole can be stitched to the welt by a machine and still retain a hand-welted designation. When a company stitches the sole to the welt by hand as well, I make sure to mention it as too, as with Yeossal and Yearn shoemaker. All 3 are still hand-welted though.
3. 8-9 stitches per inch is not too low. In fact, it’s as higher than most brands out there. Gaziano & Girling is also at around 9, per my review of their shoes.
4. I agree, all consumer’s are responsible for their own purchases, and I’ve always advised viewers to do as much research as possible before buying, which means watching as many reviews as you can from various sources.
Hope that clarifies it.
