I have a pair of Lucchese lizard in cognac color. Some how they’ve gotten some dark spots on them, I am going to condition them, is there any way to remove the dark spots first?
So do I need to use a conditioner other than just the Bickmore? Both their web page and Luchesse seem to imply that the Bickmore Exotic Leather conditional by itself is enough.
@michaelformica, you can use the Bickmore only, or you can use a cream polish. I use the Cadillac Select cream shoe polish in neutral. It does not darken the leather. What I do is leave the conditioner on for about 24 hours, then wipe it off and buff. The cream I let sit for about 20 minutes and brush. Hope this helps.
Nice! You got any recommendations/tips on cleaning my pre-owned boots inside and out before I try them on/wear them? They are full quill ostrich with smooth ostrich shafts. Lucchese Classics from 1993. Thanks
I love these videos. If you wouldn't mind, could you say what you paid for them. I bought a pair of these last summer and paid $25 and wasn't sure if that was more than I should have but then sold them for $150 in a week so I was happy. Thanks.
Have you ever tried using brown or black Lincoln Wax to do the edge dressing? I feel the Feibing stays sticky way too long. How much are you listing those boots for?
Tino, I Always look forward to your video's and appreciate your tips and tricks in shoe restoring or shoe detailing as I refer to! If you're in the automotive recondition end of the business, then detailing a car is very similar to your business. I saw you applying the edge dressing to the back of the heel and kind of eyeballing it. A small or large mirror behind the boot affixed to the wall, will help you out, plus you can look at yourself while reconditioning the boot! ; ) Also, I saw a earlier video of you working on cleaning sneakers over the sink and I can help you here! Look into a tool called "TORADOR" or "Tornado Magic" that is used for automotive upholstery, carpets, etc . It uses compressed air, and cleaning solution to blast or agitate the dirt away! I use it for running sneakers, converse/keds, etc.. So much easier and with better results...A real time saver! When done, I use wet tissue paper to wrap the finished sneaker in order to "wick away" any remaining dirt that may rise up during evaporation to the surface during drying. Dirt will transfer to the outer layer or since I added the tissue layer, it will seep away from the sneaker fabric to the "sacrificial tissue" layer when dried. This leaves the sneaker fabric free of dirt. -Give it a shot!
Another great video on how to clean and restore !
Great lesson & work Tino! 👍
Just found a pair of lizard just like that only a red mahogany color at a antique shop in town today and there in pretty good shape
Where can I get one of those hangers/holders on the wall?
Best way 2 fix cracks?

If I were to use that exotic leather conditioner on a lighter pair of boots, would it darken them or harm them in any way?
I don't think so, but I'm by no means an expert.

Damn those are nice boots.
Came seeking info, stayed for ASMR. I found this by searching for whether or not Leather Honey can be used on Python Snakeskin..... Yes? No?
Mexican boots are built the best!
Right?? A lot of Mexican made boots don't get the credit they deserve because the brand never took off here in the states.
@@TinoTheSoleRestorerlike which ?
Lucchese moved to El Paso in 1986.

Flopping over is a good thing sometimes bro.
