Your shoe shine video took me down memory lane. My dad worked six days a week but on Saturday his only day off, his gift to my mom, brother and I was to clean our shoes. When I heard he had passed away my first thought was, who is going to clean mom's shoes? Thank you for the reminder of a wonderful man.
Thanks for sharing that amazing story!!!
Maya Angelou quotes:
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Powerful story. Thank you for sharing.
I'll clean your moms shoes.. if you know what I mean
My father (late) was a Police Inspector, in Maharashtra Police, India. 45 years before, I used to shoe shine his Shoulder cross belt, waist belt, his revolver cover & his shoes. Almost every alternate day, as his duty hours used to be irratic & long. I was 11 years old, It used to take 1 hour for completing polishing job. It was boring, but he used to encourage me for best shine. Due to all those old memories, I even today wear only black, pure leather shoes, with lace, No push in shoes, Which usually no one wears, & also my shoes are mostly shining, & my son daughter & wife critisises me for not using colourful ones, I hate those sports shoes & I am always proud of Black shining shoes + a neat clean old executive type dress. I know the power of impression, I get things done fast, people confide/trust me. I am likeable & a well dressed personality speaks volumes. & So on & on & on ..........
Thanks to my father Late Madanlal Surajmal Tasgaonkar, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Maharashtra, India.
Thanks for reading my emotional post.
Indians dads are the best bro.
Black shoes are underrated. Have the same problem as you do when someone tell me I should have more color in my wardrobe.
My dad was in the Navy and he taught us very early how to shine our shoes. I agree it is therapeutic.
Just what I learned to do while I was.in the Navy. I found too that after using a horse hair brush after applying polish a few times, polish builds up in the brush and all you have to do is hit your shoes with the brush every few days and they come out looking great.
I just learned probably a year ago how to dress properly for a business setting, and last week was the first time I bought a pair of real leather shoes instead of the cheap ones you can get at Walmart. I went in looking for just the shoes but the cashier lady threw in a bottle of leather lotion and a bottle of waterproofing solution and told me that real leather needs to be cared for regularly and it kinda put me off for a bit but I thought "eh why not I'll probably get good at it" well after about a week or so I sat down with the shoes in front of me and had no idea what the first step was, after seeing this video you helped me realize that cleaning and shining my shoes is kinda fun thank you for showing me what I'm looking for whenever Im cleaning my new shoes. They look really great with my work clothes.
Considering most of us basically live our lives in front of a screen, it's hard to imagine not having time to shine a pair of shoes while watching Netflix.
That’s exactly how I do it. It’s so relaxing :)
When I was very young many years my Mum and Dad were very very poor my clothes were sometimes second hand and were full of holes but my Dad showed me how to polish shoes,whether it was because he was in the British military during the war I will never know but I always had polished shoes,I have always polished my shoes to the this day,many thanks for the video.
Same with me. I always enjoy polishing my shoes. Thanks a lot.
Check out the elegant oxford channel he also haves some nice shoe shine videos too
This 2 channels are my favorite
Brings my dads memories alive too
Well said brother, its same learning everywhere spec in military.
I have had more fun shining my shoes today! Thank you for your expertise.
I use an (unused) soft bristle toothbrush as a dobber. Works well getting in between the crack/area where the upper meets the sole.
5 minute shoe shine in 11 minutes and 48 seconds. Ha ha.
But, seriously, very good video. I sure remember doing a lot of shining on my black dress oxfords. I still have them from bootcamp in 1986.
ZommBleed 😉 I tend to talk a lot.
They don’t make shoes like they used to.
@@TrentonHeath which was actually the best part ! Thanks !
Great video on shoe shine! Thank you. I would've loved to see a before and after photos comparison of the shoe.
This is phenomenal gorgeous job. I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much, sir!
Great video, Looking at your video makes me realize that I forgot to do the heel block lol. Im such a noob at polishing shoes thanks again Trenton and Heath.
I've always just used the shoe polish in paste. I believe now I'll go with the creme polish. Great job.
Steve Carroll Thanks! Cream is great stuff, particularly the Saphir brand, but Tarrago is another good brand to check out.
I just learned of your Channel after watching your Q & A Session with the Kavalier. I have watched a couple of your videos on your Channel and find them informative and interesting. Very well done videos! Good job and keep up the great work!
Ed F Thank you very much!
Whether a man or woman is wearing a thousand dollar suit or is dressed in business casual, if his or her shoes are poorly maintained or improperly cleaned and shined, his or her entire look is marred. Your primer on shoe shining should be a requirement for all who take the maxim “dress for success” to heart.
Gretchen LP so true. For clothes u wash them but u don't really need to do much else to maintain them (except if u are wearing wrinkled dress shirt). The shoes really reflect the taste of the person.
Thanks for the video! You do it really great! I have enjoyed it!
Excellent video. I have always been a little apprehensive about my shoe shining technique, but perhaps a good cream is all that was missing.
I love everything about this channel
So happy I found your channel. Awesome content!
Thanks, Brandon!
Thanks man I just got a job as a shoe shiner for a speakeasy thanks for the short demo it’s really helpful
i love your work we need more like this video
Another great video showing guys how easy this is...I use old sport socks cut open as shoe shine rags, they work great for that....Guys, shine your shoes and boots.
I enjoy these videos. Very down to earth and great tips. Keep up the great work.
Question though, if you accidentally rubbed the darker cream onto the lighter coloured upper, do you just wipe it off and blend it as best you can or is there any quick and special technique you can use?
Great channel. Thanks for the input. I have 2 pair of spectator shoes (navy and cream and brown and tan) I have never seen any useful hints on any channel showing the care of these shoes. (shoes are all leather) Any tricks would be helpful.
Important content. Looking forward to recommended products for sneakers, shoes. Reviews. Methods and techniques. Leather Protestants. Sprays. White sneaker care. Can’t wait. Just subscribed. Also just watched you on the kavalair.
Thank you. Your video reminds me of the time I spent as a boy with my later father who taught me how to shine and take care of my shoes. When would it be appropriate to use a cream on the heal block as you show in this video verses using "heal and edge dressing?"
I usually polish the shoes I wear for work once a week. I wear them everyday. now they actually look better than when I bought them, the color is so much more intense and beautiful
Awesome video...thanks for sharing.
Hello, very interesting video. I wondered, however, what should be done to change the color of a pair of shoes, for example from british tan to dark brown. It's possible? And if so, how? Thanks a lot in advance and keep it up
Thank you for your help
11:48 of valuable information & excellent presentation. And head bobbing. :D
Excellent advice.
Just watched this again and went to your website to pick up some cream polish. Thanks for the discount guys, glad to give you my business instead of Amazon. Keep up the great vids and I'll be waiting for the next one
We really appreciate it, Brett!
Thanks for sharing. Great info!!!
Jeff Walker Thank you!
Very enjoyable video, guys. I would love to have the video end with before and after shots of the shoes.
Great video! One quick question, are using a shoe cleaning product and leather conditioner two necessary steps or can I get along just fine with what you have in the video?
Great video! I use wax to polish my shoes. It seems that cream may be a better alternative. How do I remove wax build up? Ty.
do I have to use separate brushes for shining and for cleaning the shoes? thanks!
Question. What product would you recommend for a pair of boots Madre of port vitello calf leather. I read is sanded full grain leather (nubuck I suppose). Would saphir renovateur work? Or should I use something else?
that's a good shoe shine!
Just got my “color 8 cxl” TBC Vanguards. I’ve got burgundy and brown sapphir polish on the way. Wish me luck…ps got neutral crème too.
Great job
Awesome video
Hello sir. Is it OK to use the same horse hair brush that you use for buffing off the excess leather conditioner that you use for buffing off the excess shoe cream off that you use for buffing the excess wax off with? Or should a separate brush be used for each step.
Love this. Thank you for the quick tutorial. Saphir seems like a good product, my question is, what do you use for a high polish. Is there any trick that you can bestow upon the masses?
Brian Barnett Thanks...glad you enjoyed! Funny you should ask. Catch our newest video coming out later today which discusses this exact thing. Product wise...Saphir Mirror Gloss is great stuff!!
Very cool!!
Love this channel and everything the brothers are teaching us. They need to get some wireless microphones though to help with the sound quality. Inexpensive and very effective. You can use lapel clipons too.
I am hearing very loud background music. Do you have it, too?
@@358Norma Yes! 'Background' music too loud; speaking too quiet.
Great 5 minutes shoes shine 👍🏼👞🌟
Nando Shines Thank you! We enjoy your channel as well.
is there anything you can do to a shoe to repair the creases in them? obviously using shoe trees helps prevent them, but these shoes looked like they had their fair share of creases! Any recommendation helps!
I have a pair of shoes I use once or thrice a year, (with my very best national costume Bunad). What would you recommend to do before I put them away for storage, something that I can leave on to keep them suptle and clean, and that only require a quick buff to get ready when it's time to use them again.
The shoes also have a metal buckle where laces would be if it had that. This buckle causes grievance when polishing the shoe.
Both your shoe shine videos are very good and I have appreciated them a lot. Would it be possible to have a video where you explain what makes good tools for shining, you have a much longer brushed horsehair brush than I am used to and I really want to know what is a recommended kit of both products and tools.
Thank you!
a perfect and intelligent job
Amazing Video my man . Awsome 😃👌🤝🙏
Thank you for this video! What do you recommend for unusual colours like dark green or blue leather?
Saphir sells the creams in a lot of colors. Maybe even overwhelming to someone new to it.
Amazing brush! Where can I get one?
Wonder if you can use these creams to use with the sneakers?
I have red shoes, but the color start to wear away after i clean it with pumpkin soap. I bought shoe cream of TGR brand in light red and i put it in to the shoes and looks good, but if water fall down in to them, the shoe cream automaticly looks very intense like if its not part of the shoe. What kind of product you recomend to make the shoe cream stay in the shoe even when water fall down in to them.
Do you recommend color polish/cream for exotic skin shoes or just neutral?
Wow!
I’m not a business person, but I do have a number of really nice leather boots and shoes which I love polishing. It’s so satisfying… Even just watching your videos I get such a sense of satisfaction, am I a bit sad?😅
Thank you
Wow. Gorgeous!
If you use a wax polish after these steps, can you just apply cream etc when you next polish your shoes, or do you have to take the wax off first?
Please talk about the different colours of Saphir creams and the colour shads preferred for different kinds of leather
Mahmoud Abdel Khalik google
Been trying to sort out best way to handle the sole and heal block. Is there any benefit to edge dressing vs doing a polish?
Shining your leather shoes or boots on a Sunday evening can be very satisfying. Ad a wee dram (just a small one!) and put on a Chet Baker record and you are on top of the world.
I Am Really Enjoying My Shoe Shine Kit I Ordered From Your Potter Shoe Shop. I Find The French Polish "Saphir" Much Better Than Any American Polish.. Patrick..
Nice vide. What kind of brush is that in the thumbnail picture and where can I get it? Thanks
TrojanMars1 Saphir horsehair brush that they use in their shop he mentioned it in the video
Hello. I would like to know how do you remove water stains on a leather loafer. I stepped on a puddle of water as I was exiting my car. Can you please advise. Thank you!
Nice... To boot new York Dupont?
Oh man, those are some real clean shoes to begin with! In Sweden, our shoes tend to get really dirty, but worst is by far the salt thats put on the roads 6+ months a year. This often leave a white wave like stripe along side the shoe from water and salt. What form of cleaning and everyday maintence would you recommend? Thanks for a great channel.
Hi there, not sure if you still need to know this after two years, but Saphir has a product for this salt.
Great vid! I have a question for maintaining my leather shoes. Let's say I condition, cream, and wax a pair of shoes that I wear once a month. How do I maintain those shoes? Can I put more conditioner on top of the wax? Do I put more wax on top of the wax? Or do I have to strip everything off and do the condition, cream, wax process all over again? Thanks!
It does not make sense to put the conditioner over the wax. You need to remove all the cream/wax/dirt with saddle soap, and then apply the conditioner.
You mentioned a Cedar Shoe Shine box o your webpage, I could not find it.
How long do you suggest for the wait time to dry off after putting the cream, before the second run through with the horse hair brush. Great video by the way. Makes me want to shine my shoes right now.
Oezeo Glad you enjoyed! Once the cream dries to a haze, usually 30 seconds to a minute, it should be okay to brush it off. You just want to make sure the cream has dried. Thanks for the question!
I do them just before I sleep and leave them overnight
What colour is the cream used on the uppers?
What brand and what size is that brush you are using?
Hey guys, I want to get some products on your website. Can you please tell me what colors you used in this video? Thanks
I want to start doing this as a small business, what are some good rates?
My dad was a professional and had about 10 pairs of dress shoes, all black.
He would shine them up every month or so and I'd watch him work, fascinated.
Just got done shining my one pair of dress shoes.
What's your opinion on Allen Edmonds' cleaner, creams, and polishes?
Jack Gillespie I think the AE products do a fine job as well.
Is the cream a cleaner Then do u polish?
I bought some Buffalo hide boots from Origin, same process for them??
Why do you use shoe cream around the sole instead of sole /heel dressing?
Do you need to clean the brushes at all between polishes? I know you would keep black separate from your browns or other colors but would cleaning them be necessary?
Your cream brushes will need to be cleaned every once in awhile, but I don't clean my big buffing brushes.
Please get the starter kit back on the website I’ve been waiting a while
Should I be polishing my workboots?
how to choose the right color?
I will have to check out your videos for salt damage
Should be great to see a project with the cooperation of The Elegant Oxford guy ... !!!
This is a good idea
Elegant Oxford is on a completely different level than this. ☝️🥴👞✨
If you condition, cream polish, one layer of wax polish, and a mirror shine on the toes what's the best thing to do on a regular basis. I doubt I'll do the whole process every couple of weeks. Is just cream polish good between a full polish and shine?
LevelUp Lifestyle Yes, definitely! By no means should you strip your shoes off and do that whole process very often. Once you’ve built up that mirror shine on the toes (if that’s your preference), just condition and/or apply some cream to the rest of the shoe ever so often just to keep the shoes well hydrated and looking good.
What size shoe tree for a 10.5 Thursday double monk shoes?
Wow I've been doing my shoe polishing all wrong oh my God no wonder I'm having such a horrible time thank you so much
You’re welcome. 👍
This is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for this video, it's a necessary tool for everyone.
I have a question: should I follow the same steps for every shoeshine? Let's say I shine a pair once a week. If I use a neutral wax polish on top of the cream polish, would you begin next week with the cream polish again? Or would you use something like renovateur to remove the top layers of wax polish first so you can hydrate with the cream polish?
Chris Davis
Dont overdo it.
I would go different about it.
Different weather and use.
Remember the side of the sole and heal as well.
When your 5 minute shine is my regular process lol
Im sold on shoe cream
Would neutral cream work as well?
Jorge Cubas Neutral cream will provide a shine, as well as put some moisture back into the shoes; however, since it doesn’t contain any pigment, it won’t cover up scuffs or put the color back into the shoe.
What is your opinion on quick shine sponges? Should they ever be used? If so, when?
mubbe1996 I’m not a huge fan. I’d much rather folks use a higher end shoe cream and/or wax. They’re much better for the leather and last much longer than a shine sponge. A good wax will hold a shine for a month or more if the shoes are buffed off regularly.
Trenton & Heath Thank you sir!
is it necessary to have two brushes, one brush being used for removing the dust and one used for shinning?
great vid, thanks.
errq963 Not necessarily. Generally we recommend having two brushes if you have a pair of black shoes and brown shoes, as you wouldn’t want to use the black brush on the brown. If you only need one brush, you can use it to dust off your shoe and shine it.
@@TrentonHeath But wouldnt the same brush for cleaning off any dirt/dust on the shoe be dirty when you use to shine it afterwards?
@@juventus4293 I use three brushes. One for cleaning off. A bit stiff bristles. And one each for finishing black and/or brown, soft horse hair.
The uuper condition is notmgood is there a way to fix it? I mean making it flat again
