My father was career Army and took immaculate care of his low quarters and jump boots. He of course had a shoe shine kit. There were two things in our household that were absolutely forbidden to mess with and that was my father's boots/low quarters and his uniform. I remember him having his shoe shine kit from back in the early 1960's. When he passed away I was given his show shine kit. Kept it for years before finally breaking down and buying my own this year. Wish I would have run across this video before I bought my current show shine kit.

I used to shine shoes as a kid in the late 70's for a hustle at the corner gas station . My Father taught me and always stressed the importance of wearing a nicely shined pair of shoes. Then later I went to the military. Shined my shoes just about every night. Now I do it for a piece of Mind. This is a excellent video. And the quality of products does make the difference.

I got a basic kit from a yard sale and I added some stuff (and junked most of the stuff since it was old and hardened Except for the old school Kiwi tins) I have a pair of Georgia Boot Loggers I use for work washing cars at a local Toyota dealership. They see LOTS of moisture from the water and I wear them in winter so they get a lot of moisture And then a lot of arid air so that leather gets dry pretty fast IMO. I have Obenhaufs Leather Oil and then some of their Heavy Duty Leather Protector cream I apply every six weeks and use the oil every three months. I’m gonna do a deep clean on them before I put them in storage for the summer months. My mom says I’m a bit obsessive over them. Well you would be too if you spent $150 on boots you’re only using half a year. But Obenhaufs is fantastic stuff for the money. Originally developed for wild land firefighters it offers great protection from the elements for your leather. No I’m not sponsored by them I’m just spreading the word.

I think that the shoe conditioner should be bought before the cream(if you can't afford to buy all the products at the same time; and if your shoes are new). Yeah, the cream gives the colour back, but how much of the colour will fade in the first 2-3 months of wearing, even if you have just 2 pair of shoes and change them every day? P.S.: I really enjoy your videos. This is just my personal opinion and observation.
@TrentonHeath5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment! We agree that conditioner is great...and very important for your shoes, but the reason we rank a GOOD shoe cream as #1 is because it handles all 3 (conditions, re-colors, and shines). A good shoe cream, such as those by Saphir and other higher-end brands, contain a lot of conditioners/natural oils in them that will keep your shoes soft and supple, while also covering up any scuffs/discoloration to your shoes from wear, and will provide a decent shine (Saphir MDO creams also contain some natural waxes). You won't get all of these benefits from just a conditioner. Again, this is just our opinion, and why we still recommend conditioner as a top 2 product to get. On a side note, we're glad you're enjoying the videos! We really enjoy hearing opinions and suggestions from all of you. Thanks again!!

Thanks...glad you enjoyed it! It really depends upon how often you wear them. If you wear them several times a week, I'd recommend conditioning them 1-2 times a month. You can always apply it more...as conditioning them often is not a bad thing. Unless your shoes are 'caked' in wax, you're okay to apply it with wax on them. If your shoes have a lot of wax build up on them, we would recommend stripping off the old wax buildup first. Again, the only place we would even recommend putting more than 1 coat of wax is just the toes and heel counter area. Hope that helps.

Hey, what do you recommend for occasionally worn shoes, like the dress shoes languishing in my closet for extended periods of time, to keep them in reasonable condition until the next time I have a more dressy occasion? (I'm much more a jeans and t-shirt guy rather than a slacks and collars type person) Should I leave them in the box, or out? I'll assume shoe trees may be in the recommendations, but I'm clueless about them altogether. So, maybe related to the question at-hand or a tangent, is there a "how, when, and why" guide for shoe trees? I'm sorry for such odd questions; I never had nice things growing up, but I'd like to change that now.

Thanks for the question! For patent leather, we recommend a patent leather cleaner. It's what we use in our shop, and it cleans/conditions well. As far as the 'walking crease', just make sure you're using cedar shoe trees that fit your shoes well. It will help out with the creasing.
@pattgsm5 жыл бұрын
Uniform shoes typically don't incorporate high end patent leather if there is such a thing. A lint free cloth, glass cleaner or vinegar w/ distilled water will do the trick in a pinch. All patent leather will crack and once they're scuffed they're done. I found it more convenient in the long term just to put a spit shine on a leather uniform shoes which takes much much longer to crack and scuffs buff out very easily.

A good, fairly inexpensive brand is Bick (Bickmore). You can find a large bottle (8oz, usually) of their leather cleaner for under $10.

@Gilamath.5 жыл бұрын
Bryan Harris from my experience, it is generally okay to use a brown brush in a pinch but you will eventually notice some slight color buildup on your shoes if you use one brush for multiple colors. How quickly and how much depends on how good your shoe leather is (better leather absorbs more) and the polish you use. I would recommend, if you don’t want to collect several brushes, to get yourself some neutral shoe polish
@TrentonHeath5 жыл бұрын
Hi Bryan! We definitely agree with Talha. It's okay to use the brown brush in a pinch, but it's probably best to use a separate brush for the red, as the Saphir pigments are very strong and can build up quickly on a brush, thus easily transferring to other shoes. I think it's best to continue using the separate brush you have for the red, but yes, in a pinch it's okay to use the brown brush.
