These really are very relaxing. If you find yourself with the urge sometime, restoring old boots is almost just as relaxing.

We used the fire technique to polish our boots when I was in the Army... mirror shine every time and always passed inspection... 👍

[@stevejette2329]

An olde boot or shoe that has aged well and been rejuvenated like this is a thing of beauty and a joy forever !! It all starts with the quality of the build of course. THANK YOU !!

[@carywatmore]

Back in the early 80s we used the fire shine on our parade boots in the army. Leather soles with metal studs to make sure the platoon was marching in-step. Thankfully those boots were withdrawn by 1984. The mirror shine be even achieved on scruff marks with the aid of a hot spoon over a candle then said spoon was pressed onto a medium waxed boot to melt the wax into the scruff marks

[@remb9614]

I was brushing my teeth when I looked down and the video said “don’t forget the tongue”. Thanks for the reminder!

[@RayAzul7]

If you didn't show the shoe being cleaned from start to finish, I would've thought they were different boots. Nice job.

The white stitching really popped after the cleaning! Love the patina on these

[@christopherhess9383]

A good shoe shine tip I learned in the military is to put a thick even layer of polish on the boot then hold it upside down over a lighter just enough to melt the wax that's on the boot, when the wax melts it'll have a smooth but hazy appearance then you just have to buff it with a little water and a t shirt and it gives you a quick shiny finish and a good base if you want to take it to a mirror shine.

[@EthanIngle]

That’s badass

[@fosterfoday]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I can't tell you how long I have looked for a good shoe restoration/polish video. This is so comprehensive and detailed! I really appreciate this video

[@theHerathrig]

Your best asmr video yet. The lack of music makes the sound effects pop out more, gives a better asmr feeling. great!

[@cristianespinal9917]

Love your shoe shine and restoration videos. They helped me really step up my boot cleaning game. A pair of Danners and Ariats of mine look better than ever.

[@LastStarWriter]

I really liked the Before and After shots of each step in the last video. Also, maybe I missed it, but color info: black vs red vs yellow vs neutral of the different products where it applies can be helpful for some of us idiots. These videos are so ridiculously satisfying! Thank you!

[@Bayou987]

Thanks for the info and great job! Small complaint: I honestly don’t need an asmr and I love the additional info your commentary gives.

[@MzClementine]

I used to spit shine my father's shoes all the time. Literally two days ago I was taking off a pair of boots going oh man I need to clean these. It's like the universe saying yes you should. My father had all of the tools to make his shoes shine. I don't have that. Like I said the universe is saying it's time to clean your boots. Thanks for this, truly I needed this. Now I have no excuse. I need to get ordering. Thanks 🖖😆👌

I cleaned/shined my iron rangers after watching this, so thanks for the reminder that it needed doing.

[@TriptoMoon]

Those came out beautiful!

[@kevinlytle6215]

Very nice work! Didnt expect that much reconditioning. That is how we maintained our jump and other duty boots in the army. Minus the reconditioning. The "spit" shine is done like that using a good cotton rag and brush then cotton balls you dip is water then polish and if you use a little rubbing alcohol at the end it gets really shiny on the toe and heal. We used black polish of course instead of the natural product.

[@MrWoodhoarder]

Inspired by this channel, dyed a pair of Thorogoods yesterday. Keep up the great content.

[@patohara175]

Using the brush to shine only really works for a little shine. If you want a mirror finish, I recommend using just an old t-shirt, polish, a lil water, and maybe the lighter depending on the leather condition and whether you need to work polish into nooks and crannies. After 25 years in service and 30 plus taking care of leather boots, I’d def also recommend an old t-shirt instead of microfiber for applying polish and for cleaning off the saddle soap. You make great content, keep up the solid vids! 🤙🏼😎

Whew, I used to clean my boots about every 6 months, but it's a ton of work and I stopped enjoying it. Especially because they were just getting destroyed at work. I need to start cleaning my boots again, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it brought back a lot of good memories.

Those kitties look nice and are very reasonably priced. I just ordered the light brown " western fringe " kilties for my thorogood 1892 Tomahawks. Hopefully they're a decent match for the Cognac Chromexel leather.

[@glennpettersson9002]

I spent some time in the military and once we had got a good shine on a boot using a tightly balled up stocking as a final buff really left a nice finish on it.

i bought a pair of used boots in the same condition as the before in this video, i got them to a point close to the after but i wasnt sure about the fire method on the wax, i might wash them again and try and re do some of the work, the leather is looking so much better now though. i love to see other peoples work. most people just throw leather shoes and boots away, it just takes some time, effort and love. also its kind of stress relief for me to work on my shoes.

Nice work

[@Freedom89984]

I use the same method. Only do I not rinse with water after the Saddle soap. Just wipe off the soap quickly. After that I give them a nice layer of Bick 4 and a good brush. I use a toothbrush for the stitches between the welt and the sole. No booth oil, the leather is already oiled in the factory.

Use 100% dampened cotton balls to apply the polish and shine it creates a true spit shine, throw the brush away. Learned this right away in boot camp, now get down and give me 20 recruit and don’t screw up again.

It’s not indicated in the video or the Amazon link (there are several types/colors). Was it the neutral or light brown? Thanks! Very nice job!

Use the lid of the polish to extinguish the flame. It's much safer than risking blowing hot wax everywhere. Good video. 👍

[@What-is-happening]

What boot would work well for a welder/machinist. Hot sparks on the top all day from welding/grinding and constantly stepping on drill/mill shavings as well as standing on rough concrete all day. I usually only get about six months before the stitches are burned out and the sole is worn out. I should also mention cutting oil and coolant. I’ve tried Thorogood, Redwing, Chippewa, Georgia, Justin, Ariat just about everything. Any help would be appreciated.

So beautiful

[@1SUPERNAUT1]

Just a thought from someone whos used both conditioners, chamberlains no 1 isnt really a conditioner, being that its water based and very thin i like it quite a bit for light cleaning, dries quick and will not darken once it dries. Bick 4 is a great light duty conditoner, cheap and preserves leather well but if you over use it leaves a tacky feel that takes a while to fully dry, for bringing back old dry leather or for hard use work boots Obenaufs does miracles. Really enjoy the ASMR and all your other content thanks.
