I have a question...what kind of conditioning oil works for the shoes?

I've got a pair of Florsheim Imperial wingtips, black, that I bought in January 1982. These were made in the USA then and they are amazing. I still wear them, and they still look and feel great. I've had them relined and resoled a number of times. I remember my dad being incredulous that I would spend $100 on a pair of shoes back then (yet Dad NEVER bought cheap shoes, lol!) I told him that they would be the last black shoes I would ever buy, or ever need. That was true until a couple of years ago when I broke down and bought some nice Allen Edmonds black smooth oxfords. Cheap shoes waste your money and hurt your feet. Quality shoes are better for your feet, and with care, can literally last you for an entire career. My Florsheims proved that to me.

[@jxb722]

"Using a toothbrush, preferably not the one you use in your mouth..." LOL! Classic!

Quick tip for the iron crease removing method: Double check your temperature setting!! Had a mishap, scorched and badly discoloured my old boots (though the creases were reduced). Luckily I had some leather dye about, did some mixing to get as close to the original colour as I could and redyed. Actually ended up being a richer colour than originally on it, so overall happy days! Just don't forget, check that temperature gauge!

[@investigate711]

that is on you for being clumsy i’m sure he told us to put it in the cotton setting temperature

[@omearacian]

@@investigate711 Yes, which is why I said to double check. Measure twice, cut once and all that

[@albertovermicelli9935]

@@investigate711 isn't the cotton setting the highest one? or is it just my iron that doesn't get hotter

[@Chy12451]

Second this. May want to use a lower setting than cotton. Luckily the scorched part was just the along the inside arch of my shoe.

[@sakyzai]

That's right. Infant I lost two pair of shoes leather lost it's shine had to throw them.

[@CaptJanmejayVaishnav]

Nice brogues, Antonio! I use 'Brasso' to work off scuff marks and also remove excessive polish build-up. Works equally well. This trick was taught again by one of my orderlies when I was in the Indian Army. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

[@philmcclenaghan7056]

They are not nice. They are hideous.. It's something my grandfather would wear 20 years ago. You guys get caught up in your brand names and your quality and forget to take a step back and actually look at what you're wearing.

[@Straight2TheHeart]

Instead of the wash cloth + iron method, I use the steam from a kettle. Works great if you know how to do it properly. With this method, I already got dozens of shoes back to shape. Even my shoe maker was pretty impressed when I showed him what I was able to achieve with old shoes most people would have thrown into the trash bin. But for really good results you definitely need to invest more than five minutes of work. ;) And something very important, because I think that's a big flaw in this video: ALWAYS use leather conditioner (and wait a day or two) BEFORE doing anything else! Especially steps that contain water or steam. If you are working on very old and/or dried leather, it is very likely that it will be destroyed with water or steam if it hasn't been treated with conditioner beforehand!

[@ntuthuko3175]

Surely if you apply conditioner before washing the shoe, you're just going to wash the conditioner off?

[@sean1e100]

@@ntuthuko3175 the leather “drinks” the conditioner up. Imagine putting moisturiser on your skin and waiting for five mins. It’s like that.

[@ntuthuko3175]

@@sean1e100... and then going to take a bath - you forgot that part, which is the crux of my comment.

[@sean1e100]

@@ntuthuko3175 actually that's preceisely what I was getting at. You wouldnt wash moisturiser off if you got a bath / shower after moisturising, because it's penetrated and absorbed into your skin. If anything the oils in the conditioner help with pulling water further into the leather once it "bathes". Washing something "off" would imply that that the conditioner sits on the surface and then the water washes it away, which it doesnt... in short, you dont need to worry about it 👍

[@ntuthuko3175]

@@sean1e100 Alright that's interesting. Thank you.

[@halfnorfolk5310]

This video was very informative. I bought some really nice shoes from a thrift store with mild creasing. I tried your technique and it really helped. Shoe trees have made the creases disappear. Thanks for the info!

[@brett6314]

Maybe you should do a coop with AmmoNYC? Larry certainly knows a lot about leather and cloth cleaning and restoration and can explain it at a very deep level

[@johnconway8070]

I have been using these methods for ages and I have pairs of shoes that are still in a very good condition. People often ask if I had bought a new pair, seriously ! Sometimes though , if the shoes are in a really bad shape, it might even be cheaper to just buy a new pair :) .

[@brianstaugust]

Great video, Antonio. Terrific explanation and detail. I was going to ask you about the Marine Corps influence on you and you addressed that at the very end. LOL. I NEVER saw anyone make their shoes glisten like a Marine.

[@DennySantos23]

What is the shoe soap, moisturizer, polish do you use?

[@claytonberg721]

You want saddle soap, not sure what brand is best. For conditioner, cream and polish the best is saphire, which was what he was using in certain spots. Saphire doesn't necessarily shine better (although it is easier to get a better shine with it) but it is better for the longevity of the shoe.

[@DennySantos23]

Clayton Berg thanks man. I appreciate the suggestion.

[@philmcclenaghan7056]

Didn't know about shoe tees.... My god, have you been on Earth long?

[@jillg7327]

Tried to iron out the creases exactly as stated (damp cloth, cotton setting, don't let the iron sit on one spot, etc..) and it ruined my boots. the ironed-out area is now extremely discolored (way lighter than the rest of the boot). So use this method with caution!

[@RubenAvila]

You can fix it with colored polish or dye. Follow the "Elegant Oxford" RMRS doesn't know shit about quality shoe care.

[@thebomb363]

Antonio what a truly great video this will save me stress in the future a BIG thank you.👍

[@miked104]

Thanks b. I got some shoes im going to try this out with

[@be5952]

Good hints and techniques for shoes' leather uppers. But what about *scuffs and discolouration of the outsoles and visible heel areas?* Did he mention anything about those? Because if you leave the outsoles (and heels) as shown at 4:50 and other spots, the shoes will still look bad and sad :( What procedures and products should we use on those lower outside areas? Just apply some wax polish, buff a bit and call it a day?

[@claytonberg721]

Interesting about the iron. The elegant oxford suggested to soak the shoes for 10 minutes then let dry overnight with shoe trees in....

Watching this to see how to get scuffs off my boots. Since I normally just use wax polish on them do I need to remove the wax polish before using the saddle soap or toothpaste?

Wtf. Do you even know anything about what you're doing? What do you think saddle soap is for? You just bought it and don't know what it's for? It's for REMOVING THE WAX.
