@@ShoeShinewithKat I use leather oils and balsam to keep the leather from breaking and i shine them every 3 weeks. More often when there is rainy weather. The Docs leather of the eighties is of very good quality in comparison to nowadays. But i have to do it by myself. We don't have shoeshiners on the streets here in Vienna/Austria anymore. I collect Docs. I have some pairs i don't shine at all. I let them get a bit dirty and rough for the bad boy look. 😄 By the way, i love how you treat these shoeshiners. Very respectful. Shoeshining is an art. Love your videos.
Hi Marcus. That's so impressive. I'm always about the idea of taking care of things and shoes so they last a long time. It's really nice that you take the time to clean them. What colour are they? I've heard that too, that 80's-90's boots were of better quality. The ones from this video broke from the sole after only 1 year. Do you think there were street shoe shiners in Vienna in the past? Are there any shoe shiners in shops or hotels currently? I couldn't agree with you more, shoe shining is an art. Thank you so much for your support.
@@ShoeShinewithKat The old pair is black. The leather looks like genuine leather. It doesn't have that thin PU coating modern docs have. So the leather absorbs shoe cream much better = longer life. But i have many colors. Red green, blue, beige and Arcadia. Arcadia is cool cause its a two colored leather. The leather is bright red and on top there is a darker tone color which wears away over time. I love seeing my old docs getting a beautiful patina over time. We had many shoeshiners until the eighties here. Just like those women who sold flowers on the street. They are all gone. Unfortunately It got the image of a poor mens job. Nobody wanted to be identified as poor. Also many here wear shoes and throw them away when heavy used. I restore Docs as a hobby for friends. Or buy them for 10€ restore them and give them to friends for 20€. Its so relaxing doing something with your hands. 🙃
Hi Marcus. I just looked up the arcadia colour and the shade of red are so lovely. So glad to hear you have a great collection of Dr Martens. Hope to get a new pair soon. Regarding the shoe shiners Vienna, I understand what you say. Here this profession is still pretty common but unfortunately, not so much appreciated. My purpose with these videos is to document this profession, the valuable work and stories of people. If you want send me a picture of Dr Martens that you have restored, I'd like to see them. I get the same feeling, I like doing things with my hands that requiere time, like building something, embroidery, etc. Hope everything is going well for you. Take care.
Some shoe shiners prefer working on a shoe shine station and others with a shoe shine box. In this interview, you can find more info about that. ua-cam.com/video/rX3PBDzxRUU/v-deo.html
Hola Bob! Gracias. I get a bit nervous in the interviews sometimes but trying to get better at it. Tomás mentioned a few words of what happened but decided to cut it because UA-cam sometimes it's very strict about certain words.
I love this guys work also I've been going through your videos watching him... Hope to see you go visit him more Kat he's so relaxed and smooth he's a very good shoe shiner
Hi Mathew! Tomás is such a great shoe shiner. Hope to make more videos with him soon. What kind of shoes would you like me to bring to Tomás next time?
@@ShoeShinewithKat lol my favourite are the dock martens lol can see all the action when you do those I have watch those videos multiple times I've had a few pairs you see so I'm a big fan of those boots but truly up to you I like watching any boot shine to be honest with you
Thank you so much! That gave me an idea, I'll make a Dr Martens compilation. I have at least 3 different pairs of Dr Martens now to make videos in the future (even though 2 of them are borrowed). Take care Mathew.
My personal opinion is that if you are left standing in one spot like this, the shoe shine should be more quickly done. Consider it an express shine versus if you're sitting down.
Hi! I have only 1 video with a female shoe shiner, with Maru. I tried to film with other female shoe shiners but they didn't want to be filmed. So, still looking :)
Sounds like a garbage truck going in the background at the start? Was that your bicycle against the wall that we saw, the red one, or did it belong to the shoe shine man or just some random bike that just happened to be there? That was a very big rucksack next to it and I can imagine it would squash you as it looked so heavy. Tell me it is not your one?
Hi! In the minute 24:01 there is a little explanation of what the background sound is. They basically buy old mattresses and washing machines. In the minute 23:48 you can see when El buki leaves with the bike :) It's his bike. The black backpack is mine. I use it to carry shoes when I film videos. it's not so big but I guess it looks like that on the video I hope I answered to your questions. Let me know if you have more. Thank you so much for your support. Have a good day.
@@ShoeShinewithKat Thank you for your reply. How many pairs of shoes do you keep in your backpack then, do you carry shoes that need a clean and change into them just before filming? I had assumed that you just wore those shoes all day on that day. Does this mean that you can film more than one shoe shine each day you go out and with different shoe shiner? Do you know why el Bukit does not have a semi permanent shoes shine stand and has just a little box and still, he looks quite tall and always looks like that low still is not doing his knees, hips and back much good from all the bending over, I hope this is not the case and he is in good health? Take care and as you don't wear them all day, (now I know this.) Can you please get a shine on many more high heels please, but not platforms. Maybe some nice lace up ankle boots, you know the Victorian/witchy looking type of just classic pumps. Thank you for all your good videos. Keep it up please.
Hi! -Usually about 3-4 pairs of shoes. -Yes, I select the shoes I'm going to make videos with and then change. -I try to film 2,3 or 4 max videos a day. Afternoons can be rainy here (especially in spring and summer) so I have to make sure I film when it's sunny. -When Tomás started working, he started with a shoe shine box. He likes it that way because he can move around the city, stop for lunch, and then keep working. He mentioned this in an interview I made with him. Also, he told me he's so used to working sitting in that position, so it's not so bad. I hope I answered to your questions. Have a good day. Take care.
Hola Julio. Cómo estás? Qué gusto saber que te gustó la entrevista! La entrevista que le hice a Machine Man cuando inicié el canal es más corta, te dejo el link aquí ua-cam.com/video/3sJhs9RlH3I/v-deo.html Espero hacer una entrevista más extensa con Machine Man pronto. Saludos.
Hi! The audio is from a truck buying "old iron". This is the translation: "We are buying mattresses, drums, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, microwaves or some old iron that you are selling".

Hola Josué! Cómo estás? Qué gusto saber que te gustó la entrevista. Cómo va todo?
These are the best boots. I wear them too. Love them. Especially my 40 year old pair of Docs.
What? That's so great. Do you shine them often?

How's everything going?
Tolles Video und gutes Interview 🫶🏻⚘️
Danke :)
I'd love to see this guy working a full blown shoe shine station.
Hi Randy. Do you mean in a stand?
@@ShoeShinewithKat yes exactly like we see most shiners online use with the chair
Some shoe shiners prefer working on a shoe shine station and others with a shoe shine box. In this interview, you can find more info about that.

Wow great job, nice and shiny well done
Thank you! I know, they turned out so shiny.
Yup, love the socks. There is definitley something about DM's. Thanks for sharing 👢👢💋💋💖💖
Thanks! I know, Dr Martens have so much style.
@@ShoeShinewithKat It's not just the style, when you've been wearing them a long time they become so comfortable like a pair old slippers 💖💖
Yes, the leather is more soft now :)
Hola Kat! Nice interview! Curiosity got me, so had to do a search to find out what happened at La Polar.
Hola Bob! Gracias. I get a bit nervous in the interviews sometimes but trying to get better at it. Tomás mentioned a few words of what happened but decided to cut it because UA-cam sometimes it's very strict about certain words.
Doc Martens👍🏼
More coming soon.
Excellent video, Kat! I love how you wore your red socks with your Docs! It's cute!😊
Hi! How are you doing? I know, right? They're a great combo!

Hi Neal. Glad to hear is getting warmer. See you next Sunday. Take care.
Does anyone know what the chanting/song is in the background at 2:24 and 7:15? I’ve heard it before when Kat has filmed in this location.
24:06 she tells you : )
Hi Bob! Thank you so much for answering :D
Hi Michelle! Yes, this is a very common recording to hear on the streets of Mexico City.
@@robertspangler6144 Thanks!
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Gonna be a quickie shine/polish if the laces don't come out!
Yeah, I guess sometimes they don't need a full shine.
My personal opinion is that if you are left standing in one spot like this, the shoe shine should be more quickly done. Consider it an express shine versus if you're sitting down.
I agree with you RedEnoz! :)

A menudo uso calcetines rojos con mis Docs
Una combinación muy buena!! Muy rock & roll
You need lace them up correctly they will look a lot better 👍🏻🏴
Thanks David! I'll look for another way to lace them up.
