Watching you clean shoes teaches me I'm spending wayyyy too long on cleaning/preparing my shoes!

For the fading on suede shoes, I use a mink oil spray to bring back some richness to the suede. Works great!

Mink oil will wreck suede and nubuck

Thank you so much for these tips! I avoid shoes for the most part but sometimes find gems and have to clean them! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us!

Shoes are my favorite to sell! I just hate how much room they take up.

Great video. I'd love to see you photograph the shoes now. :)

Ya the nubuck block and brush can be tricky for people to get the hang of. If you have suede or nubuck shoes it really does help to have those things though because balsam will wreck the shoes. I also recommend getting a brush to apply the balsam.

Cheap pool noodles cut into various lengths and placed inside shoes help so much to reshape shoes that may have some creasing, straighten out bent or floppy ankle straps, etc. I simply arrange 1-3 pieces of pool noodles until the shoe looks like it’s original shape and let them sit a while before I clean them. Most of the time it works so well, I don’t need to use the clear acrylic shoe inserts for photos!

You dont want to rub uggs ever. You blot or you take off the dye. I use the ugg cleaner for spots and saturate the suede and blot, I have also washed them on gentle after soaking with the ugg cleaner or a special cleaner for suede or sheepskin.

I’m not finished with the video so I might be too early to say this... I noticed you didn’t take stickers off a few of those. Any reason why?

I watch and enjoy nearly all of your videos but this one really missed the mark for me. To me, none of these shoes were truly “dirty” at all and totally could have sold as is. Anyone can figure out how to use a wipe to rub dirt. How about getting rid of bad sticker residue or sharpie? Or getting dirt out that’s caked into tennis shoes? Or embedded sweat stains on the footbed? Lots of common used shoe problems that resellers deal with all the time but they weren’t covered here :(
@Mcthriftzie3 жыл бұрын
Taking the time to get dirt out of the bottom of shoes isn’t worth the time in my opinion unless it’s a high end brand. I would rather sell semi-dirty shoes for a bit less and have more time to find/sell other items and keep the ball rolling than get bogged down with in-depth cleaning. In my experience, a lot of buyers aren’t too concerned with dirt on the soles bc they will also walk on them & lots of buyers will clean the shoes themselves anyway. It’s an opportunity cost. This video is an accurate representation of how much cleaning I usually do for shoes which is a common video request.

if you don't know how to get rid of sticker residue, maybe shoe cleaning is not your biggest problem. your criticism of her is totally unwarranted.
