![[ASMR] Everyone Does It Wrong! - How to Clean Red Wings, Thorogood, Thursday Boots](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3cWM7W9vMJ4/mqdefault.jpg)
You are so right, a toothbrush is brilliant at cleaning boots. And if I do it early in the morning before she gets up, my wife never even notices. 😮
😁😁
Worked for Red Wing for like 11 years. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this for a customer. You wouldn’t believe the reactions some guys give when a boot they weee ready to write off comes out looking so good. Sells new boots and builds customer loyalty.
So, in your opinion, on newer boots as in newly purchased boots. Is that coarse grout brush still okay to use or possibly something to hold off on until the boots are a bit older and probably have more severe wear to them
@@mbarrios09 a toothbrush should be fine but the best bet is to avoid letting mud dry onto the leather. Nothing dries out leather faster than dry mud and dust sucking out the moisture from the hide.
My method for dealing with dried on mud is to knock off what I can and then brush like they did in the video.
For my personal boots, I hose them off before the mud can dry. Take care of the leather and a good boot can take several soles over the life of the boot.
I find this so satisfying, I was raised by parents that lived through the depression and was taught that you took care of everything and it will last. I have a pair of Tony Lama boots that I bought over 35 years ago and they are still hanging in there.
Yes indeed! THIS is how you preserve your hoof-covers from falling apart on you! Clean/condition. That caked on mud can (over time) works like sandpaper on the fibers/stitching. Never used Hurberd's Oil, but I'm a fan of the Obenauf products (they might make the product for White's brand?). When I don't want that leather darkened, I'm a HUGE fan of Bick4. It won't darken, but it also does not add those waterproofing properties either. But it'll sure soften stiff leather nicely! God bless you fellers in your efforts, and extra cookies for the shop dog, that's hard work guarding that dog bed!
Just cleaned and conditioned my leather wallet in a similar manner last week. Went with Obenaufs for conditioner, but I've used the shoe oil before on other products and have some on the shelf. I used to use neatsfoot oil, because that's all I knew growing up, but I went down the rabbit hole of leather conditioners and now I have a collection, which, ironically, lightened my wallet for the before mentioned cleaning. My wallet is going on 20 years and still looks new. Leather is such a wonderful product.
My cups of coffee are always the best with your videos Saturday Mornings. Thank You fellas 🤘🏼😎☕
Why is it so satisfying to watch an old pair of boots being reconditioned?
Watching my weekly repair ! Love it!
Love you guy’s videos! Nice work.
A good video and an instructional one. Shows the step by step process to excellence.
Thank you😊 👍
What a therapeutic video. Thank you.
Cleaning the soles - with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, including the squeaky sound - was the extra 10% of the video. Great job!
Very good cleaning video. Informative.
That Huberd’s oil did a good job. Looks like Tobacco leather from Thursday now.
Outstanding job.
Hey Trenton and Heath, I wondered if I could make a video suggestion?
I'm currently in the police academy, and wanted to see if yall could do a how to video on how to get a mirror shine on the toe of a black pair of boots? I think that would be great
Thanks for the awesome content guys
Ordered my sandals yesterday, might need to wear them in fall too 😆
Always enjoy your videos!
I appreciate it!
Wow, like new. Looks like I have some work to do on my boots from hunting in a muddy field. 😊
Greetings from Greece!keep doing great job
Thank you! We appreciate you watching. We’ve been to Greece. Absolutely loved our time there.
I just use a garden hose to blast off most of the mud (usually while its wet but not always).
Then a damp cloth later and conditioner if needed.
I usually use boots with a much deeper grip than moc toes if it's going to be muddy so the hose usually helps to clear the mud out of the cleats as well.
Loved it. Skip the music next time for even more pleasure. Keep it up guys. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 .
Pour the shoe oil into a small bowl and use a horsehair dauber to apply it the boots. Very fast and thorough ! Wash the dauber with hot water and dishwashing liquid when done. Best regards.
Can you use saddle soap for any shoes- like sneakers etc or you need some different soap?
Informative. Lovely job. Have a good weekend guys.
Thank you! Have a great weekend as well.
Solid post, here.
Nice work!
I would have taken a quick sweep with a pressure washer on first approach. 😊
great episode guys, a similar one on 'suede' etc would be great.
What size are your boots?
You can see on the video that the laces are being severely frayed. I believe that the eyelets are fraying the laces. You can hear the audio of the laces roughly going through the eyelets. What's the best way to fix the eyelet's? I have a pair of boots that are fraying, my kevlar lasis. What conditioner would you use if you want to maintain the original color of the boot? I have a pair of boots that are now the same shade as the ones you have there. I'm not particularly fond of that color. So they sit in the closet. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
What r your thoughts on beeswax for waterproofing
Se estavam tão sujas, por que não enxáguar o sabão com um pouco de água em vez de secar com papel?
Hey guys! Hope you’re both doing well.
Hey! Great to hear from you! Doing great here. Hope all is well on your end.
@@TrentonHeath Glad to hear it. I’m doing ok too, but unfortunately, I lost my job a few months back. Staying hopeful that something wonderful is around the corner! Enjoy your weekend.
We’re so sorry to hear that. You’re a very talented guy, so I know something great is just around the corner.
@@TrentonHeath Thanks! Much appreciated.
Did you get any birds on the farm? Dove or quail....Great walk through of the basics that extend the life of your boots and footwear. I have not used oil but have been religiously using mink oil, boot cream and leather conditioner. I do love the magic eraser method for my hockey goalie equipment then a little mink oil even on the faux leather. Now even weeks after a dry brush and cream the Redwings are still soft and hydrated. Thanks for sharing
👍 We got quite a few doves. We went out a few days on opening week.
Great technique. Probably better than throwing them in the washing machine, which I tried once. I know that these white sole type boots are popular, but I have always looked at them as analogous to putting white wall tires on a car. Doesn't work for me.
Yep another great job I prefer the look of ware on shoes Take the newness off 👍👍👍
How do I send my boots in to get em repaired by you guys
I have the same oil but use a small paint brush to apply it ;)
Beautiful!
I wore my boots in a pretty decent rainstorm the other day. Now around the toe they kinda have a white “salt” stain. Any way to clean that off?
I know it's all relative but how much would you have charged for a clean/restore only ? I'm old school , over 30 years in the trade and for me it's all part a larger service but I'm pretty sure I'm under charging. In the UK I charge £25 but sell the products used on top ( laces, tin of saddle soap or cobblers cream and so on). Just curious but understand the complexity of answering the question. Keep up the good work!
I actually felt like I was choking on mud dust when you were brushing them off.
Sorry off topic came to a newer video hoping for a response does anyone know where I can buy the welt for a doc Martin I beleive its pvc welt
Excellent video! Does anyone know of saddle soap can be rinsed off with water? I know it will increase drying time, but I'm unsure if that will actually harm the leather.
All saddle soap can be. I often rinse by boots off in the sink. The wipe off method is just easier for those that don’t want to get their shoes very wet.
Whew. After saddle soap I rinsed off the old Redwing boots then wiped surface dry.
Brand of these boots? I wonder if you first wash the boots with basic hand soap in order to remove the dry mudd and dirt.
Is that the “rugged and resilient” leather?
I dropped off my Red Wings to get resoled today he said he was going to use foam instead of cork for the filler does anybody have any opinions on that?
what is another conditioner alternative for the boots, so they don't get darker- thank you!
Bick 4 is generally contend go to conditioner for not darkening leather
I agree. ☝️ Bick 4 is good stuff.
Any tips for getting grease off of boots? I don’t want use a harsh cleaner that’ll damage the leather
Dawn dish soap always works for me.
Wish you hadn't changed the intro theme music. I love the original one.
Aren’t these the Thursday Boot “Diplomat”? I have a pair and looks exactly like these.
If so, then those boots have the “Rugged and Resilient” leather which you said we shouldn’t use liquid conditioner. Am I missing something?
Your not missing anything but you can do whatever you want with boots. Recommended or not
That may be true, but I doubt it’s that simple.
They went so far as to make a video telling everyone not to do this because of the effects it has on the leather. Professionals like them aren’t going to purposely contradict their own professional advice, as well as what Thursday recommends.
That’s why I asked what I’m missing.
I'm going to try the magic eraser for grass stains
Would this work on my 45 year old Timberlands? Any idea how to improve the now non-existent waterproofing?
Asked that waterproofing question before finishing the video. Will that waterproofing oil work? I am a bit uneasy darkening the leather after this many years.
@@914Rocky Tiberland's leather is nabuk not smooth leather, using liquid creams and conditioners will inevitably change the colour and the texture of the leather quite significantly, so I wuldn't suggest it if you want to preserve the original look and feel of the boot.
That being said, nabuk and suede are still leather and need to be conditioned from time to time, there are products for that purpose such as the Saphir Renovateur spray for suede and nabuk, which has decent (althogh not exceptional in my opinion) conditioning properties and a mild waterproofing effect, there are more effective products when it comes to conditioning and hydrating suede and nabuk leather but I'm not sure if they're available in other countries (my favourite is the spray balm by LM, a small italian company that makes high end shoe care products).
For waterproofing on the other hand, Shaphir imo offers the best product on the market with the Super Invulner spray, quite pricey, but it's an excellent product with great waterproofing capabilities that naturally wears off over time, so it doesn't clog up the pores of the leather and gives you the opportunity to condition the leather when the waterproofing treatment wears off.
My suggestion is to thoroughly brush your boots to get rid of dust and dirt, get some leather soap or shampoo (better if specifically formulated for suede and nabuk), wash and let them dry overnight, the following day (or when they're dry) brush them again to lift the fibers of the leather, apply the Saphir renovateur spray (more than one coat might be needed if you have never conditioned them), let your boots rest for 30 mins, brush them again ad apply the Saphir Super invulner, and let dry overnight before wearing them (do not brush after applying the waterproofer or you'll remove it).
Hope this helps!
I do more than simply wipe away the saddle soap. I follow up with a damp brush to get it out of the seams and stitches. And then I wipe them down with another dry cloth.
With my work boots that have lace hooks on the top like that I bend the lace hooks almost everyday I wear them. Eventually they break right off.
I’ve found that the little round wool daubers are easiest for applying oil to boots. Oil should be applied very liberally so that it can soak into the leather and the excess wiped off.
I AM DIEING TO FIND OUT WHAT SOLE STICHING MACHINE YOU ARE USING.!!!!
HelpD:
Have you ever installed this type of sole on a cowboy boot?
Wow very nice!!✌️🇺🇲
I was a little surprised that T or H wear Thursday's as they are often poo poo'd on in various forums. Actually glad to see it
Thorogood boots look the same dirty, but with oil and grease. Good thing I conditioned them twice and wax sealed them, before even putting them on.
why u don't wash off the dirt with water first?
Put the laces in a mug of tea with milk (not skimmed), let them dry naturally, supple and uniform colour.
If you use coffee it stains the leather of the tongue.
I must have dozed off three times also dig the elevator music 🎶
So is it own boots or clients, isn't there a rule that shoes should be cleaned at least from soil before bringing to cobbler?
I always look at it this way. Which pair of boots is the cobbler going to take most care over and try his best to avoid cosmetic issues like scratches. The well cared for one that he get to work on straight away or the one that's just been dragged in from the muddy field and he's had to spend half an hour cleaning ?
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video ❤ Ich liebe ASMR ❤ Bei euerer Arbeit braucht ihr doch keine Hintergrundmusik …
Herzliche Grüße aus Bayern
If guys would do this every six months or so they’d save so much money in boots. They’d likely have a set worthy of a resole, and then they can alternate boots allowing a day to dry between wearings. It’s a big ask, but buying two pairs at once equals way more than twice the amount of wear.
Nice
*👋🤗Hi, very nice video,💖⚘️ I really enjoyed it, make more new videos, I also make videos about shoes and just uploaded a new video,.🥰*
That toothbrush into the small female opening of oil can can..very phall....reminds I found a new cobbler...touch expensive but quality...$105 for rubber heel tips...$5 for rubber heel savers -$100 for bac room for weatherproofing..
ok video
Saddle soap and oil will work on most leather products. Very basic. No need for "boutique" leather care products.
This is confusing. The leather is Thursday’s rugged and resilient leather. Wouldn’t it be better to treat it as a suede or nubuck leather like you did in previous videos?
How do you know that's what they are? I don't see it labeled anywhere. I see they are Thursday but not R&R.
Is it definitely the R&R leather?
Regardless, I just waxed a pair of nubuck boots as I'd prefer the full waterproofing. It's destroyed the nubuck aesthetic but, they're hiking boots so, I'm not too bothered. I used Graingers G Wax
It's just a matter of what you're using the boot for
Correct. Like we said in the video, I wanted to waterproof these which is why I used the Huberd’s.
@TrentonHeath So it was rough out and this is NOT how you clean rough out?
I really need to know how to WASH rough leather. Mine are so far past dry brushing.
@@TrentonHeath I missed that somehow. Thank you for the clarification
Drop the music!
I've never understood why you wipe the soap off with a paper towel. Why not rinse the boot with water?
Because water dries out the leather more. Even the directions on the saddle soap can tell you to wipe off excess. It conditions the leather also, not just cleaning.
❤🥰🥰❤
You wanna do an ASMR vid, break out the cork.
Trenton is going to be in for a nasty surprise next he cleans his teeth
boots made new again ,restful video format .
Not asmr at all . Too loud . But chill beat ? What’s the songs name ?
Singing:Well.she was going to b an actress I was going to learn to fly she went off to the footlights I went off got my CDL license now I drive snow plow for granby conn town crew I go flying so high when I snow plow cough cough.
Jeeeeeezus when y’all say Asmr it should have come with some kind of warning.
that was the “warning”
Would be better without the elevator music.
I like your normal videos better
The boots look great, the shoe laces not...
Asmr - except for the annoying repeating background sound track. I found that quite distracting actually.
Dreadful "music!" Had to turn off the sound!!
Had to skip this one, the ASMR was just too much.
Repeating that bar of music ad nauseum is not ASMR.
If you watch our channel, you’ll know we don’t do a lot of ASMR. We tried. Forgive us. 😁
@@TrentonHeathTry again, no music……That’s all you need!! I think you did an excellent job for a novice at ASMR!
Would be good without the music
@@TrentonHeath
You can’t please some people, I like all of your videos including this one.
Thanks.
