Bootiful comment👍
I dunno whether to laugh or just groan
@@TheElegantOxford hey man what do you use as a shining cloth?
I saw in your video you said shirt. Are t shirts ok? Or should they be dress shirts? T shirts are more i guess you could say they Are more stretchable. So just like dress shirts os collared shirts or t shirts for a shining cloth?
@@saadabdullah4245 he uses 100% cotton t shirts extra large and cuts them into strips
I respect you for openly showing the part where you mud your shoes. Most other channels pretend to “find” $5000 shoes in the graveyard
“Just give it a couple light taps”
*aggressively smacks the devil out of it*
i beat my boot harder then that when there’s mudd on my boots
Reminded me of Bob Ross😭
Okay am I the only one who watches these just cause they're satisfying as hell
No
Yes
I’ve watched all your videos! They remind me of when Pop first taught me how to shine shoes back in 1951. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!!!
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Preston: I want to drink renovateur
All jokes aside that is a very impressive transformation, thanks for the videos and keep it up!
Lol
This is the point!😂
I sniff renovater
Not gonna lie I’ve though about it too hahaha
I moisturize my body with renovateur
Great shine on that toe Preston. I feel like you've single-handedly brought shoe shining to a new level with your channel.
Thank you, Mario! I appreciate the comment.
Mario Morales he has opened my eyes to footwear. I am not a fancy dude but now I even try to breath some life into my work-boots.
So glad you made this one....very useful especially being in the UK and lots of mud and filth at this time of the year.
Awesome work, it is actually therapeutic to watch all this
Thanks Preston, I clean and shine my shoes after your job. I 'm eternally grateful for that. Ciao from Italy 🔝👍💖
I watch all your videos. I love and appreciate the art of shoe shine and you’re absolutely great at it and you explain things clearly. Enjoy and keep up the awesome content.
What blows me away is despite your prodigious skill and attention for and to detail you don't have the subscribers that your talent deserves.... Your videos are so informative and helpful with even the most basic but necessary shoes techniques. My grandfather taught me years ago that a man's pride was in the shine of his shoes. He was a legend to me with his skills at mirror shining but I can say without a doubt that your skills eclipse his by a considerable margin (I'm being really kind to him here). Mr. Sotto.... Thank you. Thanks for undertaking the responsibility to remind us of the need for basic grooming and how this can restore character. Wishing you every success brother.... From Pinetown, South Africa
They really look amazing, absolutely love their look!
Wow...beside you have a great shine of humour! Had a big laugh as said about you loving Saphir renovator so much would love even to drink it.
Amazing transformation as always!
Absolutely beautiful. Just so you know, I bought my first 2 pair of Oxfords today. Made sure to shine them while watching your new shoe video. They look nice. Just gotta find some wax and I'll be set. Thanks for the help and keep up the videos, love watching them.
Great! Congrats on your shoes!
Oh yay! I needed this video... my purse will benefit from these techniques 😄
Before your channel I had no idea what a mirror shine was, now it’s my dream goal for my steel tip shoes...
Love your videos!!! Keep'em comin
Those are some beautiful boots they came out fantastic!!!! I am definitely envious of your collection and hope to get myself a quality pair of dress shoes and boots in the future
Watching this while shining my husbands shoes my new relaxing hobby thanks to you
I've never ever heard of a wife shining her husband's shoes
jeremy emilio Well I do and haven’t heard any complaints from him
Wow he is one lucky guy
😊
@@kzeb245 your husband is lucky
Another great talented job Preston…..
My parents asked me the other day why I watch Boot videos, and Ali watch them for the talent. Keep up the good work man! God bless you
Lots of products to use..who knew. I thought one just needed saddle soap and then shoe polish. Makes a big difference with the process you do.
Boots came out great!!
This reminds me of cleaning off my boots after a branding out on the ranch Nebraska... except it wasn't mud i was scrubbing off 🤠👢😷
Did it smell like political promises? LOL
💩💩💩
One of your best ever, thank you buddy love it
I'm stunned you subjected your beautiful boots to such harsh treatment, just to demonstrate a restoration. Clearly, you trust your skills!
I'm very happy to see such contents. Keep up the good work. Keep motivating the environment to enhance their gentleman like attire.
Great restoration! 👍
You are the Bruce Lee of shoe restoration!
You made it a shame for me to look down at my feet. Just started ordering products to up my foot game. Thanks. 👍
I used to help my dad polish his army boots. We'd spend ages on them. This brought back memories.
Boots look amazing. Great job Preston. You are almost at 100K. It would be awesome to hit it before the year is over.
Outstanding job 👍
Looks better already ! Before the polishing!👌
After just brushing the mud off, they still look better polished than most people's shoes. Drink the Saphir lol. I tell you something, I smell my well used polishing cloth and the scent of all the Saphir creams and waxes, is amazing. I would wear that scent as a cologne.
So nice. Makes me not worry about the bad weather coming up.
Within reason you’ll be ok!👍🏻
Yes Jabón de calabaza Preston xD saludos desde México nunca me pierdo tus vídeos 😊👍
Excellent!, nice work!
Thanks!
I watched from Japan. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I'm a new sub that is really enjoying your content. I've been a devoted leather...caregiver? For years. But watching your work has given me a lot of info to take what I've done to the next level. This video was especially interesting because a couple years ago, I picked up a nice pair of military boots at a Goodwill $2 store. Just for background, if an item lands there, it's gone from start to finish at all area Goodwill stores (we don't have "The Bins" in my area), so it arrives at this store, for $2. And those boots were covered in mud, which helped to explain why I was looking them over for $2. What I saw were really nice, probably worn once boots then donated literally after that wearing. I took them home and took them straight to a sink. A good wash later (being careful to not soak the inside any more than necessary), and then a good conditioning, I sold them on ebay to a lady for her son for Christmas: for $79 plus full shipping. I recently intentionally picked up a pair of Ariats that look like yours did right after you removed the large clumps of dirt. I can't wait to get at 'em. Why is mail so slow?? 🙂
Congratulations on your 100k plus subscribers Preston x
Gorgeous.
I recently started back SHINING ALL OF MY SHOES. ATHLETIC SHOES NO MORE
I always try to save watching you until late as your voice is so calming. No wonder you have so many followers you are a joy to watch a in chaotic world.
Thank you for watching, Linda!
Nice work!
Tremenda técnica !!
Love the video! You should do a saphir color guide for all the Allen Edmonds colors. Really curious what you would recommend for mahogany
Your work is entrancing ;)
OH MY...so, so nice!!!
Thank you!!!
100k Subscribers! Woow! Congrats Mr. Preston! Keep it up 🥂👏🏻
Thanks, Merwin. I’m so dang excited
Congratulations to 100k subscribers!
Buen trabajo ✌
Wonderful 👌👍😎
How much I love ❤your videos
Thanks! I have been on the hunt for size 14 boot Trees! They were very hard to find in my size! I just order some from Wood Lore!
really appreciate your channel sir you do an excellent job
Thank you for watching.
Congratulations for 100k subscribers. Love from India ❤️
Amazing!
Thanks!
You always keep teasing me, by the great things that you do. I need the shining wax that you uses ( Sipher). i want that wax
Saddle soap is designed to remove horse grease from saddles (and other leather equipment that touches the horse such as harnesses or bridles). It’s really good at taking all sorts of nasty stuff off leather. We always cleaned our horse tack with it and then treated the leather with a good dose of Ko-cha-line to keep it nice and soft and flexible.
Dug my Army boots out the other day. Even though I rarely need them any more being retired for a decade now, about once a year I still ensure there still serviceable. My jump boots are 30 years old.
Nice job. 🙂
Very nice job
Wow! I use to work at Allen Edmonds - fantastic work here on these Dalton’s!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching
The Elegant Oxford You got it! 👍
For four months our boots were like this every evening after coming off our obstacle course. One wee fireplace surrounded with 15 pairs of boots each evening, the overalls and all the webbing, belts, straps and pouches, all had to be washed, Blancoed and brasses polished for inspection in the morning. By Jebus can I polish a shoe, Iron a pair of overalls so they have creases you could shave with.
Hussard stain remover is great. I use it at work to strip after using Reno Mat. I suggest to people who haven't used it to wear gloves as it will dry and burn your skin.
AWESOME!
Thanks!
wow like new again!!!!! regards from Monterrey!!!
Gracias!
good that you were in mexico and you saw how they do it here
Hello i love this video!! By any chance can you make a video shining military dress shoes???
man i would love this!
Thank you so much
Happy Christmas 🎄
I do sell a lot of the Saphir range. I personally like to use the Saphir Cleaning Lotion to hydrate after Reno Mat.
Classy reshoevenator
Nice brother
They look great, I'm so used to just seeing a cap toe dress boot, that the wing tip really makes me want one now lol
ApolloMoonLandings John Does Shoes MTO have a wingtip boot you may like
ApolloMoonLandings no problem, they seem to have great leather to choose from and different styles. Customer service seems good. I just bought my first shoes with their buy 3 pay 2 program, so hoping they fit as no returns 😅
Those boots are from Allen Edmonds ,Dalton boots, I love them I got five pair of them
"Don't ever toss a pair of shoes just because they've gone through the ringer."
Wish I knew this when Allen Edmonds called me and told me a pair was beyond their recrafting, so I told them to just throw them away. I loved those shoes!
It’s ok Nick. Allen Edmonds can only do so much. They usually avoid jobs that are out of the ordinary.
For rescue missions, there are some great cobblers like Steve from Bedo’s leather works that can help.
@@TheElegantOxford Thanks. Continuously learning! At least I'm learning better about caring for my shoes. I've only read some articles here and there, and it's actually seeing your videos where I can see what they COULD look like is what's causing me to want to actually shine my shoes more often, and with more effort. Thanks!
As always, excellent.
Would you do a video with care and restore shoos for the cities where it rains a lot.
I can imagine there are more people like me that is that weather where we live in but we like and need to use dress shoes.
Thanks
Damn man !!! What a beautiful work! I stole a lot of tips from U ))) I hope U don't mind. Thanks a lot!
You make me wanna take up shoes cleaning and maintaining as a hobby
El jabón de calabaza es lo mejor para limpiar cualquier artículo de piel y darle mantenimiento, saludos desde la Ciudad de México.
I use a toothbrush for those hard to get places.
Warren Timothy ... rinse them under running water speeds up the process too. and the sand goes off faster with less scratching.
My wife’s electric toothbrush works great
Hi, I have only just today discovered your channel and I'm amazed at the content and knowledge that you have! I'm actually looking to purchase myself a pair of Cheaney & Sons Black Oxford Toe Cap with leather sole - my first ever pair of fine shoes. I'm a little concerned with the leather sole and the potential to slip and fall (I'm 6ft5 so its a long way down!!). Do you have any tips on how to obtain more grip with leather soles?
Look up Blakey's Segs
Helloo great videos really enjoy these can you do a video on rockport leather boots
Another great video Preston! I believe you purchased these boots at the AE Roadshow?
Craig Brandau these were used from Dabondo1
I need to find some boots like that. Those would look perfect with my kilts.
Wow, incredible.
Question: how did you clean 1) the laces, and 2) the little holes where the two layers of leather meet to create that classic design?
عمل رائع بلا حدود كل الإحترام والثقة
THOSE BOOTS ARE SWEET I WISH I HAD A PAIR OF THOSE.
Good looking boots. Would like to have a pair
Hey I just wanna say 1st that i love your channel and it has got me into shoe care! Secondly i have a pair or mid tan brogues which i've unfortunately spilt some neatsfoot oil onto (dont ask) its heavily darkened the leather in areas. Is there anyway to remove this or am i now going to have to put neats foot on the whole shoe?
C'mon give us more videos Preston! Don't be shy!
What product do you recommend to refresh a black heel and sole edge? Been watching a ton of your videos and learning. Getting good results so far!
Please make a resto vid for white and black wing tips. thanks
Acá en México, usamos el jabón de calabaza para limpiar los zapatos/tenis de gamuza.
I can really say he is a sapphire renovator guy 😜
I'm new to your channel. I don't even own a pair of leather boots (yet!), but I have to say. This has to be the most satisfying UA-cam video I've ever seen. By the way, where are your boots from? They look amazing
Thanks for watching!!!
Me encantan tus videos pero puedes mostrar todo el proceso del lustrado de los zapatos
Super
The real magic actually was walking through the dirt without scratching the leather :)
I just had to do this whole process with my harness boots. I don't have much money, and I'm using some cheaper products, but I was wondering if you have heard of or used Herman's Survivors Leather Lube. I'm just curious if it may be so cheap it's damages the boots, and these are Frye's. Thanks in advance.
