$100 Shoe Shine?! | Angelo Shoe Shine ASMR

[@SuperMaugi]

Wow this is not an ordinary shoe shine, it's a complete restauration. They look like brand new. Congratulation to Sir you are an outstanding professionnel.

[@AngeloShoeShine]

Thank You!

[@wyattwiehr9447]

Even used a stone chisel to scrape off the dirt.😱

[@Stephen_567]

No, this is just a shoe shine.

[@devanhughes8060]

Just a cleaning and a shoe shine. There was nothing that needed to be restored with the actual integrity of the shoe.

[@Peachy.Enough]

@@devanhughes8060 Another keyboard warrior Before commenting, try to grasp the meanings of the words you’re using. It’s painfully clear that you don’t understand what restoration or restore actually mean. OP was obviously using restoration to refer to the boots being returned to their original state-something even a kindergartner would understand as “restoring.”

Great job sir! Back in 1968 I was a 6th grader. After school, I worked in a barber shop shining shoes.Saturday all day.I'll never forget the smell of saddle soap and Shinola. I was the kid who always had some change in my pocket. This video brought back some great memories.

[@AngeloShoeShine]

That is awesome! Than you for watching.

[@neilouellette3004]

Back in the mid 70's to early 80's, I had the same pair of Frye Boots. I'd visit my neighborhood Cobbler & Shoe Shine Shop 3 times a year for a shine and also had the soles replaced every 24 months average. Best money spent. Frye Boots were the best at that time and mine always look brand new. As I look up to the sky, thank you Mr. Mooshagian. You were the best.

From the video title, my first thought was “For $100 shine, I’d sooner just buy new shoes.” After watching, my reaction is “Wow! Those ARE new shoes!” Impressive transformation. Cheers.

[@elenalizabeth]

Leather boots like that are often $400+ for a good quality brand that will last many years (or basically until your feet outgrow them because they can be cleaned like this, re-soled when the sole gets too thin, have small holes in the leather patched up, have new shoelace hooks put in if they get torn out, etc) It’s one of those things of “should I spent $50 twice every year buying cheap shoes, or should I spend $400 once for shoes that will last 10+ years and just maintain them”

[@DeanNolen]

My red wings cost 300.00.

[@MadAtMax.300Blackout]

I've had a solid pair for years and that's just with balistol. ​@@elenalizabeth

[@kristoferprovencal3608]

@@elenalizabethThat context really helps explain how shiners and cobblers were once a more common trade, people used to spend money to get shoes or boots that really last, while these days our shoes are produced and replaced cheaply, usually in China. Makes me wonder if the profession would become more popular again if we moved more of that manufacturing back to the U.S. and other western countries, with the idea being that quality would go up, but so would price, meaning maintenance would become worthwhile over replacement again.

[@elenalizabeth]

@@kristoferprovencal3608 they are still in demand, but mostly now they’re used only by well off people who want to get their Prada or Louboutin etc designer shoes shined and repainted for a fancy function. However there are still local shoe shops (at least where I live in Australia) that do minor things like buff/shine shoes, replace damaged shoelace hooks, re-glue soles that are coming apart, etc. But that only really works if the shoes are made from real leather (none of that “vegan leather” stuff that’s just some form of plastic or plant fibre), or are a high quality boot designed to be repaired (like hiking boots). Yes unfortunately nowadays most people would rather just spend less money more often in buying low quality products that will last a lot less time, instead of saving to buy more expensive products that will last far longer. And then there’s also the environmental cost of that in that all those cheap ones are going to landfill too as they cannot be repaired so they just get thrown out. I believe the term is “planned obsolescence” 🤔

[@turpinhill]

Brings back memories of watching my dad shine his Army boots when I was a kid. Amazing transformation!

[@sdamer4609]

I was also thinking about my father. He was a tough guy and worked a very hard job where he left before I even woke up to go to school. But a couple times a week, he would find some time in the morning to shine my shoes. He was trying to make me understand that it is a very important thing for a man.

[@Charlie_Crown]

Definitely a chisel

[@elenalizabeth]

It looks like a railroad spike to me 🤔 It’s got the flat top where it would be hammered in, and it looks exactly like the spikes we got when they pulled up the old railway line near our house.

[@Charlie_Crown]

@@elenalizabeth it's not spiked at the end, it's got a chisel's flat edge...

[@Lethalport1515]

I feel if it were a chisel that it would have an actual handle, not the flat top. But for all I know, there are ones out there that look like this. To me, it looks like a giant nail, and I would have gone to repurposed rail spike before going to chisel.
