Nice tip on cleaning the laces. I never really thought of that. All of your steps were good and many people miss the cleaning and leather conditioning. I also use Lexol, it’s the best and they have the science and history behind the product to back up their claim as the best conditioner, I would say one thing though. NEVER use the shoe polish you used. Although liquid polish can put a fast shine on shoes, I warn against it because it does cause the leather to dry out and crack. It’s essentially instant undoing the conditioning you performed and drying out the leather. If I had my boots or dress shoes being worked on by a goblet and I saw them using that liquid polish, I’d never come back. Always use a high quality wax!!! After you cleaned and conditioned, I’d recommend rubbing in Obenauf Heavy Duty LP, or Huberd’s shoe grease for further nourishing and protecting the leather. The ingredients of both products provide a time released nourishment, protectant and antibacterial properties as you use the boots. After that, I recommend polishing with a HIGH QUALITY cream shoe polish like Saphir’s Cream Shoe Polish.

I will use this information to restore the boot part of my second hand ice skates.

[@WhiteShamrockGifts]

That was a great tutorial. I'd love a suede cleaning one if you get the chance.

[@rnzynow]

We’ll add it to the list 👊👊 Appreciate you tuning in.

[@gabrielM1111]

Where does the dirt go? Shouldnt you be wiping the boots with a damp towel or something after you applied the cleaner?

[@Steve-OResells]

Those boots come out great.. time to list them now. Thanks for sharing

Rnzy just really excited to try selling shoes. I love the hunt. Would like to do this full time. I have 3 year twins so right now working my job for steady income. Would like to go full time selling shoes. Thanks for all your advise and help.

[@richroc7]

Good video and I could be wrong but I think you’re supposed to go over the leather with a damp cloth after the Lexol cleaner application and then once it’s all cleaned off you apply the conditioner. You still did a good job though 👍. I use obenaufs myself as the person under my comment mentioned.

I have a pair of Womens black dansco clogs and the black color is scuffed up on the toes to the point that there’s no black left in this area , not sure just black shoe polish would do the trick ? Helppppp!

[@rnzynow]

It will. Try Kiwi Polish.

It got away from us. We are either going to continue with the series or simply share the same info in a different video. Still working on our content strategy. We simply want to continue to share everything that’s working for us 🤝🤝

[@thedriftlessthrifter8933]

Do you ever edge dress the soles? And what are all the colored bottles in your work station, is it a special paint?

[@rnzynow]

The Driftless Thrifter we haven’t learned how to edge dress shoes yet. The colored bottles is Angelus Direct shoe paint 👌👌

[@jdunnkie6616]

Cool vid thanx for the info

[@rnzynow]

You’re welcome 🤝🤝

[@Yanelyshm]

Do you use the white kiwi polish for sneakers and the soles? Like if they are a bit yellow and it doesn’t really come off with other methods.

[@rnzynow]

We haven’t tried that yet because we normally don’t source shoes that are yellowing BUT that does sound like an idea that might work. Let us know how it turns out 🤝🤝

[@Yanelyshm]

@@rnzynow I tried it and it came out amazing. It was slightly yellowish. Like I’ve noticed that the adidas with the textured rubber soles (ultra boost/alphabounce) get really yellow towards the bottoms. It’s a sheer polish so it’s was easy to apply. I was afraid that if the customer throws it in wash it would immediately remove. Obviously I don’t want it to look like I lied about the condition. But I just looked it and though it might fade slightly, it should still keep for a couple of washes I think. Just sold my first pair after having used this so hopefully he is happy with it!

[@donjuandemarco2995]

I wanna know all those tools you have on the table what are they for and where can i get them?

[@condorhero]

Will rain ruin the paint? I seen people using heat gun to make it more water resistant.

[@manuelcolon244]

Wow good job, can you do a video how to clean sneakers and all the paint and materials that you use PLEASE!!!!

[@cristianmedel1696]

Are you going to list the boots on both poshmark and macari or jus in one?

[@rnzynow]

Both

[@BKVendingFlipping]

sweet thanks for the tutorial very helpful info. About how much did all the cleaners wax brush and finish cost?

[@rnzynow]

Less than $30 for everything 🤙🤙

[@HK-ip9jn]

Great video again! Quick question. Have a customer every complained that they got black paint on their hands from the purchase? Maybe it'll be more problematic in hotter weather when paint melts? When I've sourced leather dress shoes, I've noticed couple of them had already been painted on and got paint all over my hand. Just a thought as usual. Thanks as always!

[@rnzynow]

If done properly the polish doesn’t come off on your hands when it’s dry. It’s not paint....it’s polish. We’ve never had any customer complaints. Appreciate your question 🤙🤙

[@donjuandemarco2995]

What are all the tools you have there? I restore shoes but i work with what i have.

[@dbriareos6709]

How long do you let the boots sit between applying the conditioner and the polish?

[@oldgeordiegeezer3086]

I would be interested to know how different the boot would have looked if it had only been polished.

[@davesrandomfinds3105]

Great video! Thank you for going so in depth! Quick question tho... I just found a pair of leather boots that are over 100 years old.. would you recommend doing this to them?

[@rnzynow]

With a pair that old it’s probably best to talk to a professional cobbler. There are plenty here on KZbin.

[@stevensmcclure6398]

I know it differs from brand to brand, but how long does it take for the average shoe to sell on Poshmark? Taking into consideration it's a top 20 bolo brand in good condition and priced competitively?

[@rnzynow]

Stevens McClure 75% of our inventory sells within 30 days and 90% within 90 days. You’re right though there is a lot of variables mixed in that could alter those numbers....for better or worse.

Thank you. for the viedo. NO way, is that sponge polish as good as the wax based. The one you used is good for touch up, while the other is better for restoration.

[@rnzynow]

We source footwear that needs very little cleaning. Of course for full restorations there is tons of products to get the job done 👊👊

[@jheiland2216]

hi there, new subscriber here and love what I’ve seen so far. Quick ? Do you guys ever do anything to clean/sanitize the inside of previously owned shoes? Take out the insole to wash, Lysol spray, that kind of thing? I sell a bit on posh and always wonder if I should but am afraid of damaging.

[@rnzynow]

Appreciate you tuning in 🤝🤝 We stick to sourcing pairs that need very little cleaning on the outside and no cleaning on the inside. Stricter sourcing leads to higher sell through rates and bigger profits.
