  • In this video Preston Soto from The Elegant Oxford visits Kirby Allison, to shine some shoes together. This time they are shining a brand new pair of Oxfords from our latest GMTO line. So, they are shining these new shoes for the first time.
    It is always a good idea to do the first polish after receiving a new pair of shoes. Removing the factory finish and producing a mirror shine can require a bit of patience. Tune-in to enjoy some nice conversation while shining shoes.

    Great to watch you guys shining shoes together. I’m a regular on both the channels. Would’ve loved to see a close up of the browns after the burgundy treatment, but I guess Preston wasn’t happy with his result on the mirror shine. Keep the series going, it’s a lot of fun and a great learning experience.

    Kirby, how about inviting Trenton & Heath from Potter&Sons for shoeshine sundays? They absolutely love shoes in all their aspects. I think there would be a nice chemistry between you guys.

    I just found Preston not to long before coming here, his channel is how I discovered this channel. He mentioned Allen Edmonds, I then saw a video where you compared a number of shoes which included a pair of Allen Edmonds.
    Both of you guys have great content. Thanks and congratulations to you both.

    Hi Kirby and Preston,
    Another awesome shine video - I never started mirror shining until I watched y’all’s videos. Now I’m completely addicted with the end product. I do have a question for both:
    What are y’alls “schedule”/routine for when y’all maintain the mirror shine or decide to strip the mirror shine? For example, after how many wears, or a length of time? Thanks and keep up the amazing content!

    Kirby:
    I have recently bought a pair of Goodyear welted shoes that do not have any sort of traction on the bottom. Would you recommend adding a strip for traction or letting them naturally get scuffed up to gain traction? Fresh out of the box they are super slippery to walk in. Thanks for your help! Keep up the great work.

    @caco650 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. The only thing I have to offer is a suggestion on the use of the word “whenever.” “Whenever” is usually used for repeating events (or if the if the time is uncertain) , and “when” for a unique event. A trick is s to replace “whenever” with “each time that...” and see if it sounds right.

  • @seano51

    With dying to dark brown, I read that you are supposed to dye with a light green first to neutralize the red undertones that give you that burgundy color. That said, I've never tried it myself.

      Leo Morales hi there
      From his videos, it seems like he uses acetone, like nail polish remover, it strips of everything, but watch his video on restoring ruined shoes first, before atempting it yourself, his Channel is, the elegant Oxford.

  • @DesertDetective
    @DesertDetective 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a pair of light brown Allen Edmonds with a dark bloch that seems to worsen with any moisture. I have tried many approaches to removing it and it just doesn't go away. So I am all too familiar with this defect and I too, have no idea what is the cause behind the defect.

      I believe they are Spanish-made, really good quality though, I see a lot of recommends.
      Whether or not you feel Spanish-made deserve that kind of money without the name Carmina is up to you though.

    The mirror gloss wax is too much of an annoyance; specially when stripping shoes down, this wax is is so stubborn to come off.

    To tell the truth, I can’t imagine paying someone that kind of money to shine my shoes, but I’m probably one of the few men around who still shines his shoes. I don’t want to take any food off of your table, but I’d like to know what kinds of shine products you’re using are.
