@@gwmattos very kind words my friend and I really appreciate it. I wish all projects could turn out this good... definitely one of my best.

@@martinramirez6518 I really appreciate it 👍

@@zobbyzockbrecht2469 Yes it can be done. Lighter colors are easier and the darker the color the more difficult. I would not attempt black. Patent leather doesn't strip or dye as well as full grain calf leather but it is still possible to strip with acetone.

@@Pertemba40 I'm sure they could work ok but higher end brands like GG often have lasted shoe trees they offer for them. Lasted trees would be the best of course.

@@centroclinicopanajachel9797 Thank you very much!

@@Pertemba40 Glad you liked it!

@@ElzevereBlock Feel free to do what you like with your boots. Client was happy so I'm happy. I think they look much better than original.

@@gretevandoren9688 Angelus oxblood is what I use

@@manoeljesusdapaixao3299 I really appreciate it 👍

@@PlazDreamweaver so glad you liked the video. I may have to do a long term review video of all the brands showing the fit and look after a year or more of wear.

@@charles6724 Did you send another follow up email? I have found him to always be responsive but the email may have gotten lost somehow.

Have you ordered before?

@@osirisramirez7727 I'm glad you liked it.

@@pgopal6 appreciate it...a very unique shoe 👍

@@Mickster71 Much appreciated

@@charleslyall4911 for sure they are an excellent bang for buck.

@@charleslyall4911 magnani shoes are quite beautiful, but the leather quality and construction details are not on par with tlb.

@@mbshoedoc thanks , Carmina look good for the price as well ,thanks ❤️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@Carnivoracious-rm8tl Haha It sure isn't.

@@cuauhtemocbolanos6100 To me yes. Carmina costs more and has less refined construction and details. Carmina does use Horween shell which many claim to be the best but I haven't found any real difference between the shell tanneries.

El trabajo y la manufactura esta al nivel de Carmina, el único “problema” dependiendo de tus gustos es que usan Cordovan Roccado en lugar de Horween, pero eso es elección personal. La construcción es de muuuuy buena calidad no te preocupes.

@@cuauhtemocbolanos6100 Carmina uses Horween shell which is known to be the best but honestly I can't tell much difference. Shell from all the factories looks good to me. These shined up the fastest of any I have and think the design details and craftsmanship is better than Carmina and a few hundred $ less.

I'm glad you liked it. I think I go over all the materials during the course of the video. I always use Acetone to strip the shoes. As far as dye colors that can vary but I generally use Fiebings buckskin as a base color then use darker colors like walnut or dark brown to add burnishing. For shining I use Saphir mirrorgloss in neutral on everything and then like to use some saphir dark brown just on the toe tip. I would have to re-watch the video myself to see what colors were used but I generally say or show it as I go along.

I'm glad you liked the video. I really wouldn't be able to give advice on sizing. It would be best to reach out to them directly. I'm not sure what may have changed in their sizing or last shapes since I got this pair over 2 years ago and no longer have the shoes.

I just purchased a pair and I emailed the team asking them what size they'd recommend then sent them my measurement and they recommended me the UK9 for my US 10.5 feet. Very helpful and responded within 24 hours

@@rushaddaboo616 That sounds about right on sizing. Hopefully you will love them!

@@ammartinezguzman Really that's true for all leathers I think. The creases came back some as expected but with the steam shrinking they came back much less and in a more visually pleasing way.

@@SundownCity Yeah I didn't love the Patina and the leather quality was not the best and they squeaked like crazy when I walked. I think I included the squeaking in the video.

@@rodursolino3329 Fiebings pro dye walnut.

@@highwaytohealth3211 Happy to get you into a pair 👍

@@pgopal6 Thanks so much!!

@@mbshoedoc when I buy my St James II, I’m definitely going to reach out to you… your work is amazing!

@@pgopal6 Yes sir, reach out anytime 🙏

@@gerryaustin8687 Self taught. I discovered patina probably 6 or so years ago. I was already shining shoes and doing minor restorations and ran across a random patina video and I thought....ooo that looks fun, I think I could do that. So I got some dyes, acetone and craft brushes and went at it. I started with thrift store and eBay shoes until I felt comfortable to work on new shoes.

@@mbshoedoc Thanks for the answer. I have watched a number of your videos and bought a $25 pair of Allen Edmonds brown oxfords off Ebay with the hope of stripping them and dyeing them a deep Navy blue. Thanks for the answer and inspiration

@@gerryaustin8687 I have a few navy blue patina videos posted that may help. Blue can be tricky. You go too light and the first layers lean green but then it quickly can get too dark and look almost black.

@@JM-jb1bh these were from a pair of Vass Shoes that came with them. I think it was their F last?

@@mbshoedoc thanks!

@@samsonsam3523 Great! Glad you are happy with the shoes. I love my TLB 💪😎

@@cliftont.fulfordsr.3253 thanks so much!!

@@raymondruiz1843 Yes I like these with blue and as well as grey 👍

Hi there! Good morning! I can imagine this transformation on a pair of Wing Tip Oxford shoes.

@@raymondruiz1843 yes that would work great

@@yaakovhassoun8965 You don't want to use paint which is acrylic. Angelus sells paint but they are mostly used on athletic shoes. For leather dress shoes you want to use leather Dye from Fiebings, Angelus or Saphir. They all work equally well for me.

@@mbshoedoc thank you sir. you make it look so nice and approachable to get great results. I was thinking of trying on a pair of shoes that are close to the end of their life, I know you said to use high quality shoes because the better quality leather is easier to work with, but when they're heading to the trash soon anyways it will be a good place to experiment

@@yaakovhassoun8965 that's a great place to start. Thrift stores are a great option for experiment pairs too.

@@cnevle Thanks so much!!

@@joelduwai7080 Sen me an email and we can discuss it. mbshoedoc@gmail.com

@@Thunk00 I really appreciate it. Much more wearable now I feel.

@@Thunk00 I've had no issues with quality or communication. I spoke with them direct through Instagram vs ordering off the website. Loving this pair.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Most of the shoes I own now are all hand dyed patinas and I haven't had any trouble with them holding up over time. You treat scuffs and scrapes the same way you would a factory dyed shoe with colored cream and polish. Its really no different for hand dyed crust leather.

@@sem1174 Yeah he does some amazing work

@@timothycastillo5635 I really appreciate it 👍

@@charlesfurgerson this is a fairly old video. Check the more recent ones with different camera and lighting 👍

@@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.
