It's satisfying to see how a man can elevate something as humble as shining shoes to the level of art.
I really appreciate that.
DwightMS1@ You’re absolutely correct. It is an art form.
I absolutely hated these shoes in the beginning. By the end of the video I was looking up pairs for sale. They looked so formal and elegant. Thank you for this video!
Fitzpatrick rainier 4. Even better looking thaï those imho
Wow thanks!
medic_mgw , they are stylish.
I end up on Ebay after pretty much every one of Preston's videos! 😁 How I wish I had a spare £500.00!
Same. They were hideous and ended up glorious.
I don't know why but I got so happy when I saw Gentleman's Gazette mentioning your channel in their latest video!
It was loooooong overdue
Yes I m happy for you keep up the good work and ideas 😎
@@bearblackhawk9362 It really was!
Raphael is a true gentlemen. He emailed me in December to congratulate me on my channel. He’s a great guy.
I sat down with a cup of tea to enjoy 15 minutes of your work, and enjoy I did. I’ve started telling my friends my secret little pleasure and they love it. Thank you.
I'm here with my pair of Hampsteads on my lap. Quick suggestion to those who don't wanna shell out for some saphir shoe polish and creams. I used burgundy moneysworth & best to bring my ebay bought pair back to life. It arrived and the right shoe looked like the previous owner kicked a rock face with all his might. Took scratches out with 180, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, grit sandpaper, acetoned the pair and did a water dunk and deep clean (Toe box had mold in it.) dried on shoe trees and now it's almost looking brand new. All those tricks are all thanks to this channel.
Now this is genuinely dynamic from start to finish! Another stunning work! Semper Fi
I was following your tutorials on how to care and shine leather Shoes, bought a pair for myself and caring it as you shown with products that I can afford. I haven't thought of subscribing to your channel till today, but after watching this particular video I did it. The way you do the work is simply elegant with ease! Woven leather shoe, Hope I will buy one soon!
Man these shoes are absolutely stunning! Not into weaves at all but the work here is exceptional.
Thanks, Chris. They are growing on me.
Head Shaking WOW!!! Kudos to the owner who had the foresight to envision those shoes could come out really good if done right. and same goes to the elegant oxford who made the shoes even better than anyone could have imagined. you are the very best at that "burnish" or gradient look. I love that and will TRY doing it on a pair i have. FANTASTIC WORK.
Thanks, Rob! You are awesome bro
Stunning transformation! From bland to totally eye catching, I'm sure the owner will be blown away by the change!
Allen Edmonds should be actively recruiting you. You are elevating their shoes to a previously unseen level. Well done!
Brilliant job on these shoe's the transformation is amazing. This is a high skill level job completed on these shoes. AMAZING
The Allen Edmonds Strand weaves went on sale recently and I finally went ahead and got myself a pair in Walnut. They arrived today and I put the first shine on them using products I received two days ago from The Elegant Oxford. Thanks so much for all you are doing here, Preston.
The shoes are absolutely beautiful. Im sure the owner will be extremely happy. Thanks Preston for sharing the video.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Great Job! Made them look very Sophisticated! I’m sure the owner loves them.
Hot DANG...! Those are such beautiful old school classics... need to be driving a 54 Vette.. nice job
Now that’s a great car
Stunning, absolutely stunning. You're a master, Preston.
Thanks 😊
You have to be patient to do work like this! I really enjoy the Care that shows the shoes.
Wow! Gorgeous pair of shoes. MUCH better than before.
Thanks, Ted!
They are stunning. Wow
Beautiful finish...wonderful color and patina! Trying that glaze method, like the results.
You brought them things back to life💪🏾
Like them? I love them!! What a beautiful transformation.
Thanks, Robert!
Absolutely gorgeous! Amazing transformation.
Thanks 🙏
Loved my AE woven loafers. Great job! Makes me want another pair, as well!
Get some!
Stunning work! I have never bought a pair, they all looked cheap until I saw your work
Mr. Soto. Always amazing but this time was outstanding!!! You are getting a master in patina.
Thank you!!!
I love woven leather, especially in belts and sneakers. This didn't disappoint
Mate ‘Tis simply brilliant; the background music you’ve ‘Tis so satisfyingly relaxing... Unintentional ASMR. The technique & skill used for the the shoe... Immaculate. -Cheers lad!
Thank you so much!
Beautifully done Sir!
Nice pair to wear with Dockers or jeans. Simply beautiful 😍
Wow. You transformed that shoe. That was amazing!
Thanks!
Hey preston !! Your hands done a magic.
Amazing!!!
Thank you 🧙♂️
Wow PS, you really transformed these shoes from casual to formal!!
Best summer wear ever, light weight, and breathable. Required summer shoe in the deep south U.S.A. especially before air conditioning.
Wow! .... just wow
Stunning.....love the AE weave shoes...I have a pair of Shreveports and Tulles
Agree, I have a pair of AE 'New Orleans' that I enjoy. It's almost time to wear them. I pulled them out this week to shine them since we had a sunny (but cold) day - Spring Fever!
Another gorgeous finish! Awesome polishing!!!
Thanks!
So so so soothing. Watched it 2 times
Thanks double then!
Beautiful work!!
These look smoove!!
Finished shoe so much better than original. Beautiful job!
Thanks Lucy!
As you know I have a half dozen pairs of weaves, I personally really like them.
These Hampstead's are absolutely beautiful. Well done Sir
Thank you!
Gorgeous!!!!
Very nice job on the patina at the toes...
Now you have me thinking... I just might invest in a pair. Thank you for opening my eyes to this hidden gem!
My pleasure
I own a pair of brown basket weaves that I rarely wear, thank you for the wonderful video of showing me how I have the ability to turn them into a beautiful pair of shoes. Much Respect!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed
I've been following your videos and working on a mirror shine for almost a year now.
Because I'm a student I can't afford anything better than Kiwi products. Today is the first time I achieve a proper mirrorshine following your steps.
I can only say thank you for the knowledge shared and your videos. Never stop uploading.
Greetings from Spain
Wow! Good work Alejandro! Mirror shines are awesome!
What a difference! When you first said the customer wanted the lighter areas to match the weave, I was thinking, "Sacrilege!" But they look so much better now. While watching, I also had an epiphany about why I don't care for black shoes - they will never be any color other than black! Except for an extra shine on the toe, you can't really add a patina or color variation. Great video!
This video inspired me to buy a pair of old basket weave shoes on eBay. I love these shoes!
Mamma mia What a beautiful job, amazing. Bravo bravissimo. You great 👏👍👏💖
Thank you, Enzo! My wife and I love that name for our future son.
THIS is exactly what I wanted to do to a pair of woven Strands on the factory seconds page. But they sold before I could get the $$ together. Well, I know it'll make my perfect shoe if I get the opportunity...or just buy a pair at full $$. BRAVO!
Awesome! You’ll find a pair soon
Another great video, Preston! I have been coveting a pair of the new Allen Edmonds Strand weaves in burnished copper, myself. And I am delighted to see that you have finally added Hermes Red to your collection of colors! LOL!
Copper and olive look so good. I’m tempted to get a pair myself.
@@TheElegantOxford mine in copper just arrived today, now that the factory is back to normal production. Can't wait to get them all shined up. Going to use Natural Pommadier and Medaille d'or.
Big fan of you!
I want those pair 😬.Nicely done.Good job as always.
I appreciate it!
You are an artist 😍
You're a legit artist.
Thanks for watching Rob!
Overall, really good work, it transform the shoe and the end result is what look like an excellent pair.
Thanks!
Good job on those shoes. It takes a lot of patience to work on such shoes. Perfect finish
Thank you!
I would rock those!! So clean!!
Al YES
Glad you liked the Welt Brush Preston! Great to see you using it. 😄👍
Thank you SO much Andy. I even mentioned it when I filmed a video for a magazine article yesterday.
Andy P. But he didn't say what brand or where he got it. I didn't see anything exactly like it on Amazon. Do you know? I have that pair of AE Chilli Strands and an AE weave loafer.
I really needed this kind of video.
Thanks for watching
One of the best yet Preston 👏🏼
Thank you!
The patina is made done easily. Thanks preston. Please make a video about making money shinning/restoring leather shoes. Im confident with my skills and I have the right tools doing it.
My pleasure
Absolutely beautiful !
Thanks!
Wow they really look great
Thanks!
Good googley, moogley Preston! Another A++ job my man. I'm a sucker for burgundy or oxblood but the more I see you use that red in your videos, the more I like it. You are gonna convert me into picking up a pair of AE's if I keep watching your channel. LOL. The way you colored the welt stitching just put this pair over the top.
Thanks, Brett! I appreciate it!
One word, beautiful.
thanks!
Lovely!
Thanks, Sheldon!
Very, very nice technique applying the Renovateur on the weave, bravo. It looks fine a delicate, rich and shiny, and very even. No residue. This is what I needed to see before I tackle my new Strand Weave Cap-Toe Oxfords in burnished olive. And also... wait for it... my McTavish Wingtip Oxfords in distressed *dark brown crackle* leather (AE Style #4046).
Another great job
Thanks, Bobby!
Thank you, Preston! You're a Godsend. I finally mapped out which shoes and cremes I'm going to purchase and hopefully one day I get to send you a locally made shoe for you to feature in this channel. 😬 #shineyourshoes
That would be awesome!
I have a pair of Strand Weave in black, love 'em. Jonesing after a pair in Burgundy now. LOL
One of the most stunning shoes you've worked on so far! And I have to admit I disliked how they looked at the start! You did such a great job :)
Incredible what you accomplish !
Thanks!
@@TheElegantOxford wish i knew where you you got your welt brushes,,,,,,
My welt brush was a gift from a viewer. They are from Red Wing Boots
Wow! 🤩
🙏
Muy buen trabajo me ancantan tus videos
HI, PRESTON!!! You turned those shoes into a work if art! When I first saw them I thought"How unattractive!" I Love The way those came out.
Thank you, Angela! Great to hear from you!
Amazing job as always Preston!!! You should think about getting a pair of woven shoes.
I’m really considering it
Excellent as always :)
Thanks!
Amazing work
Thanks, Alex.
Thanks again for the great video. I was hoping to see you use Collinil 1909 on the weave and eyelets! But equally impressed with the final product.
That would work just as well or even better.
Excellent work! I wish he lived near me.
My brother those are nice I never thought you can make them look as good like this you are getting better Whit time is time to move on to the next level small shop shine and repair you will do good believe in you that many people are do now 🤙🏽✌🏽👌🏽🕢😁😎
I appreciate it!
Amazing Video and job. I see ur a big fan of dying shoes a deeper shade now.
Thank you, Ramiro!
Gorgeous
Sir fantastic job .
Thank u
My pleasure
Awesome result Preston's!! One of the best transformation I have ever seen!
Obviously not getting the same permanent finish but do you think just using polish you can achieve something nice? Thanks
Amazing!
Thanks!
In the beginning I would have never looked at these shoes ❌.....14:52 minutes later, Honey, please pass me my iPad I need some basket weave shoes NOW!!!!
Haha thanks! Shoes are an addiction
Too good...
Gorgeous! 🕶
Thanks!
Outstanding transformation! IMHO this style combines a nod to 'spectator' style but in a more subdued sophisticated Euro vibe, somewhat of a 'Dolce Vita' Talented Mr. Ripley swagger, oops here I go again with my Walter Mitty musings!
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked the end result.
I can see Ernest Hemingway wearing those with a beige linen suit and a Panama Hat.
So could I! Thanks!
David Dixon , and me!
Wow great job. New sub here..Can you do a Tutorial on how to polish/restore leather boat shoes and loafers pls...seems no one is doing it like the way you did with your magic..you are amazing
Perfect mirror shine.
Thanks!
The music sounds like it is by George Winston. Perfect accompaniment to the sounds of your crafting.
Thanks!
Beautiful job. The owner of the shoes will be so very happy. I have to say that ispite of what a great job you did on this pair of shoes, neither woven shoes nor fake patina are for me...but that's just me...when it comes to fake patina I sometimes wonder if I am in a minority of one...
Not so sure about weave on shoes but there's no argument that your work is exquisite
Thanks, Malcom.
I really like this kind of woven shoes. They are more flexible and there is almost no creasing.
That’s true! Underrated for sure!
