These beauties, and the belt, had their maiden voyage on St. Patrick's Day‼️ They received very high praise and wonderful comments from my coworkers. Thank you for the excellent job‼️😉😁
I remember my first patina experiment on an AE Walnut, I was too impatient. The thing I learned about patina is that it requires both persistence and patience. Doc, you got two traits I can never get!
it definitely takes a while...it's a labor of love. If you don't really enjoy doing it then you won't stick with it. Just too time consuming. But if you are really into it you lose track of the time. It's more like that for me. People ask how long this or that takes and I'm like 🤷♂️...I just do my thing until it's done.
I love to hear that. Thank you and I encourage you to go for it. Watch a few videos and find an old pair you don't love anymore or find a great deal on a pre owned pair and fix it up.
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate that. It was a fun project. Stay tuned as I have plenty more completed and I just need to get the videos edited and posted up....that part takes as long as the patinas do LOL....maybe even longer.
Thank you so much, that is what I was looking for. Just had and idea to repaint some part of my light brown collection blue and green. Now I know how to do that.
@@mbshoedoc Thank you for the advice. 🙌 I was thinking that it should be done only with Saphir Dye products, but obviously I was wrong... :) I have already found "Fiebing's Pro Oil Leather Dye" locally online, is this okay or I need another type?
Absolutely should work well. I find walnut to oxblood an easier transition than trying to go green or blue. I have a few oxblood videos and think I have a oxblood museum video on a carmina 👍
Too kind my friend. I've worked on a few mezlan pairs...very nice shoes. I've done a number of red Patinas but just now getting into the greens. I have a few more to post 👍
@@mbshoedoc Hi MB Shoe Doc, Hope you are healthy and in good spiritis, in regards to the shoe color, recently had dyed a pair of shoes in kelly green fiebings and looked remarkably like these shoes in the video. When placing the shoes in natural light it appeared like an escape from Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz. At that point went back over the shoes with a custom mixed olive color and was semi-happy with the results. Love the bright green was just a little too loud for my taste.
Good question. Usually it only takes half an hour or so. Sometimes I do that and let it sit overnight though. Just depends if I need to keep going or done for the day.
Another fantastic video. Your videos have got me finding a pair of Grensons from eBay and I'm going to try and dye those (which colour I don't know yet, either burgundy or navy). How do you prevent the dye ending up on a client's socks?
Maybe I don't understand. How would it get on their socks. I'm not dying the insoles. I also don't always dye the piping along the edges either. There is a step where I wipe down the shoes with the conditioning lotion wich removes unabsorbed surface dye. Once waxed after that there isn't any color ruboff.
@@mbshoedoc I've read guides on the web about using fiebings resolene to prevent the dye running through the leather and it doesn't make a mess of socks once worn. I'm looking forward to trying to dye the shoes. Thank you for your reply
@@warriorboris resolene is typically used on Other leather goods but not dress shoes. I have asked other patina artists and have not found a single one using resolene. I've never tried the stuff personally and haven't really seen a need for it. I would skip it 👍
@@mbshoedoc Thank you for the advice and I hope I get something I'm proud of. I won't use resolene. I'm going to try and get either a navy patina or a burgundy patina. Your navy Cornwallis and the jodhpur boots are the two videos that I'm going to use as inspiration
Hi! Great video! I have a pair of navy blue leather shoes that i would like to turn green: do you suggest using yellow dye or yellow polish to turn them to a shade of green?
@@mbshoedoc 👍thanks for the answer. I will go for a bright yellow dye then. I think it could be better then using a green dye directly, which may darken the shoe too much... Do you agree with this? I have never done any leather colouring yet, so i'm a bit precautious and looking for tips here and there
@@marsiooisram4694 strip the blue pair first and yes use the yellow on it first and see what that looks like. Then you can mixing some green if needed to adjust the tone.
@@mbshoedoc Job done! They came out just as espected. I had to strip off the navy blue with acetone many times and hardly to lighten the original color. Once done, i passed a hand of pure yellow dye (an alcohol based one that i found in a leather shop around here), and then i mixed some blue and yellow with some alcohol drops to make a green dye. I passed the shoes twice with this dye, letting them sit overnight between the two passes, and at the end i added some dark green leather cream which darkened the shoes a few tones, but made them shiny and pretty much as i wanted them. Much thanks for the help and inspiration!
A fantastic job, (IF...green/turtle is the color you are going for...lol). Not my cup of tea...bit still...a great job. A nice burnished brown/black, or burnished burgundy/black would have been more to my liking...but wow...a great job, nonetheless.
@@baberoot1998 I'm glad you liked it..sort of...somewhat . I think once you have a large collection of shoes and have your Black Brown Tan and Burgundy taken care of you can start to explore the bolder colors like green and navy blue 👍.
@@user-gr3tg2yk6o-24_डफ़क Ok time for you to move along now. If you don't like the shoes then don't watch the video and don't waste your time commenting.

These shoes came out fantastic! Green is my favorite color so I do have a bias.

Hi there! Awesome job. Love that Green 💚
Great walkthrough, makes me feel like trying this in my spare time, also very relaxing to watch an artist at work.
I love to hear that. Thank you and I encourage you to go for it. Watch a few videos and find an old pair you don't love anymore or find a great deal on a pre owned pair and fix it up.
These kind of videos are absolute catnip for me!! Thank you for posting. Def inspiring me to start doing some more patina projects!
Awesome, really love to hear that. It's been a great hobby over the last few years 👌
This guy is a pure shoe artist....greetings from Malaysia
Many thanks brother 👊
Incredible transformation patina on this shoes,fantastic work Sir love this résult,thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊😊
I really appreciate it my friend 🙏
Excellent man!! I love how that navy blue shines through so unique!!
I really appreciate it my friend. It was actually the clients idea. He wanted the emerald green with navy burnishing. A brilliant idea 👌
Just pure magic done on these shoes!
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate that. It was a fun project. Stay tuned as I have plenty more completed and I just need to get the videos edited and posted up....that part takes as long as the patinas do LOL....maybe even longer.
@@mbshoedoc No worries! The editing process does have its mysteries lol
Thank you for the detailed video. I am going to try this on some Grant Stone boots.
Awesome, good luck 💪
Thank you so much, that is what I was looking for. Just had and idea to repaint some part of my light brown collection blue and green. Now I know how to do that.
Awesome, so glad the video helped. Just avoid the Angelus paint...that is more for sneakers. The dyes are for dress shoes 👍
@@mbshoedoc Thank you for the advice. 🙌

Great job Mike, what a transformation!
I really appreciate it Kostas. I have too much video and not enough time. I need to do some serious editing and posting.
Excellent job . One of your best projects so far! This is what what happens when Bruce Banner gets mad his shoes turn into shoe hulk
Haha, thanks man. #hulkinspired 😁
Great transformation..... Love how they turned out, Thanks for posting the vid :)
Thank you very much. I loved this pair. Plenty more yetto be posted 👍
Great job, you are an artist!
Very kind my friend, thank you. I really enjoy doing this. A great artistic outlet.
Amazing as always!
I really appreciate it. I have been slacking posting up patina projects. I have plenty done and just need to edit and upload.
Great job!
I appreciate it. I was really happy with the outcome. I want a green pair for myself now 😁
Good Stuff! I may try this method with red and oxblood colors on some of my AE boots

So very kind my friend, thank you.
Nice job on the patina, curious how the colors looks in natural sunlight?
I will have more images of them on Instagram under MBShoedoc..I'm posting tomorrow. These are no longer in my hands to get more images though.
No surprise the green looks a touch lighter outside. I did get a few worn shots from the client recently that I will post too.

@@philclinton9430 yes, in this case the navy blue darkened the green some. I agree the Kelly green on it's own is a bit too bold.
Hi great video , thx for sharing !!! can you one day make one video and teach us how to make the famous reverse patina !!! thx a lot
Thanks and good idea. I haven't done a reverse patina for a while. I'll have to do that 👍
@@mbshoedoc thank you sir !!!
When you let the conditioner sit before adding more dye, how long do you let it sit for?
Good question. Usually it only takes half an hour or so. Sometimes I do that and let it sit overnight though. Just depends if I need to keep going or done for the day.
I'm never sure if I should apply wax to belts. Any input on that?
I do on a freshly patinaed belt but only neutral wax. Only once right after the patina but not after that.
@@mbshoedoc Thank you!
