I highly recommend to use an old cotton rag instead of paper towels. Paper residues can be annoying to remove.

[@YeahBuddy]

Agreed. I use old cotton t shirts.

[@eternalne2327]

And less waste

[@kawasakiwhiptwo5821]

Agree. I was thinking the same thing.

Certain laundry detergents work better than fish soup Edit: I meant dish soap. It also works better than fish soup though

[@steveeab2364]

I actually prefer using fish soap

[@danbinkowski8343]

I use fish soup for everything

[@Maria-db9yb]

Chemist here. Laundry detergent and dish soap are basically the same. So either works fine. Hand/body soap is different.

[@danbinkowski8343]

What about fish soup?

Small bamboo skewers are cheaper than a scratch awl and equally as effective, plus they are less prone to damage a stitch.

These cleaning videos are probably the most satisfying ones on the internet. Start with worn, normal boots. At the end, a practically new pair of boots. Love these videos.

[@KI.765]

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

[@luzoleary7868]

Love the way explanatory the products used in all the processes not need to ask in the comments, that usually most of the creators do not answer. Thank you for the information. A video well done.

[@burntsky64]

I'd say better than a new pair.

[@aueret]

Same impression here ❤👍

[@JinsKookieJams]

*Really cool how he made his boots look new at the end! They did a good job with the boots!*

[@JestRLee]

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 Thankfully those boots were withdrawn by 1984.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

[@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.

[@AnticipatedHedgehog]

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

[@Hostilegeese]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@Sainte305]

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.

[@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

[@rwo4746]

I love cleaning mine... Its relaxing. I just cleaned up my Red Wing Gold russet sequoia colored Japanese only round toe Irish setters.

[@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.

[@MrWoodhoarder]

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

[@TylerSnyder305]

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.

[@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.

[@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! 🤙🏼😎

[@Grazfather]

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

[@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.

[@theHerathrig]

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

[@firedemon2166]

What size false tongue did you use for the Iron rangers?

[@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 🖖😆👌

[@nyinfamous2k2]

I always like these kinds of videos. calming to watch. For me I would have definitely left out the "polishing" part of this restoration though. Not a fan of the plastic shiny look. IMO properly oil/conditions boots with a matte finish look best.

[@tpaunu]

Also those are originally workboots. Kind of pompous to make them shine like dress shoes.

[@A.v.A.t.A]

I finally bought iron ranger 8085 copper rough & tough. 😂 your video is inspired me. Thank you. You did great job everytime. Bro. 👍

[@73TimmyG]

Maybe use a little brown shoe polish on the toe scuff after cleaning then wax?

[@owenfarmer4197]

Nice stylish video Unless you are wearing these on parade I wouldn’t use a parade gloss? I tend to polish on and not off. That can of course back fire when working with naked flames as I be found out a few times

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

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

[@gilbertramirez3173]

Looks great, I will def try this method out

[@michaelpellas9183]

I generally like your content, but I have to admit I like my Iron Rangers to look a bit weathered. I still think you did a great job with the fire shine.

[@JourneyRanger]

A micro fiber cloth would have been much easier to use instead of paper towels. Otherwise this is a great tutorial!

[@locoraindrops7653]

For actually taking care of the leather long term Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP is the way to go when it comes to boots. I use it on everything from my US Danners, Nicks, & Scarpas to my older Fabiano & Pivettas. You can polish and clean a boot all you want but are you truly adding "functional protection" for the leather especially in regions where weather fluctuates and winter means salt salt salt.

[@beckhamhahn9463]

I would have def added some cream polish first but if you like the worn in look I get it.

[@peterwoods35]

I really enjoyed the video's calm vibe with no voiceover, allowing us to simply immerse ourselves in the soothing sounds of the restoration process. It was fascinating to watch the boot being meticulously polished and brought back to life. Thanks for sharing this relaxing and satisfying experience!

[@victor1655]

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.

[@Rosie-di6ed]

Definitely loved boots!

[@sethtate5651]

This was a good video. I’ve seen videos in which it appears the boot was submerged in oil instead of having a well polished look

[@lh8372]

Great video. I chose the Bick’s 4 also as it won’t darken leather. fyi… military guys have been using the fire trick to for their boot shines for decades.

[@AmePhy89]

Great job! Just one noob question: does it make the boots waterproof or water resistant? Usually i use a special kind of leather grease. It darkens the boots but it make it waterproof. Maybe is wax better? Don't know, is there something better to use before using grease? I like to have some kind of water resistant on my boots.

Lol I bought the non-choosed cream because you did recommend it in a previous clean and restore video with some MOC 875. Now I don’t know if its good to use it in the future. In my experience it hasn’t darkened any color. But just in case my to go nurturing cream is Saphir Nappa cream. Best one ever

[@Geerice]

The absolute best shoe products will often vary from person to person, or even boot to boot. Every leather will react differently to any given product. What Weston has reccommended in the past will continue work fine.

[@CALICOAST805fishermanlopez76]

Really nice way of cleaning them, and great video.

[@sisleymichael]

All you need to get a shine on any footwear is a drill instructor and a recruit. To take the pain away the recruit will work as hard as possible to get it to the DI's standard as fast as possible. Love Bick 4. I use it on boots, tack, saddles, ball gloves, holsters, you name it.

[@brgulker]

Red Wing leather cream is amazing for all their leathers, doesn’t darken at all.

[@JayWalkerOnline]

The boots darkened because the leather was roughed up and super, super dry. Regardless of using Bick 4, Chamberlain's Leather Lotion, Saphir Renovateur, or Red Wing Leather balm, they would've darkened once conditioned. They'll lighten up a bit in a day or two but won't be that super tan color--and shouldn't be that tan, either.
