THE NAVY DRESS SHOE: UNDERRATED YET ELEGANT

[@nick_homburg]

Peston you Sir are a true artist when it comes to shoeshine and patina work. Watching you work your magic on these truly left me breathless as you transformed them from nice to amazing. My favorite shoe until now has been my Strand weaves but after seeing the transformation of the Fifth Avenues, I now have a new favorite in my rotation. I may have to build a glass case just to display them. Thank you so much for an amazing job, I can not wait to see them in person.

[@TheElegantOxford]

Thanks for the opportunity to work on them, Nick

[@jerryberryhill3619]

Awesome job ! When my Uncle died I collected all of his dress shoes, he had 8 pair of Florsheim Imperials from the 50's to the mid 70's and I am slowly making them like new again with your help.

[@chriskay4392]

Nice!! You definitely make a video.

[@TheElegantOxford]

That is amazing!

[@steverocksyo]

Jerry hopefully one of my nephews will grow up to share my shoe size (and height or more) so they can wear my shoes.

[@scottyb.8710]

You know that feeling of joy you get when you are notified that you’ve received a package from amazon? That’s how I feel when he uploads a new video.

[@TheElegantOxford]

Wow 🤩 THANK YOU

[@dannythorne9761]

Thats how i feal aswell

[@brittanymcdonaldbarr1106]

Agreed. So soothing yet informative and educational.

[@lovelyish1]

Am I the only one who watches his videos before bed? The satisfaction you get from him restoring shoes, paired with the melodic medic, and his voice are very soothing! I love it!!!😍😍😍

[@TheElegantOxford]

Thanks! I appreciate it

I have been polishing my shoes to what I had believed was a very high standard but having watched Preston's very informative videos I now realise I didn't really know what I was doing. From him I have learned about different types of leather and the best ways to care for it and, importantly, have moved away from Kiwi to Saphir polishes which makes an enormous difference to the finish. Thank you so much. You're never too old to learn.

[@cindyc3183]

Oh My Gosh! I would never have dreamed this blue could look so classy! Well done!

Thanks!

[@jorgemunoz931]

Dude...that video was absolutely top notch...from the music to the script narration, it was, in my opinion, one of your very best. Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@TheElegantOxford]

Thank you! I like this relaxed format better

[@steorris]

The Elegant Oxford agreed, my favourite by far. With that music it all ties together to make the most interestingly relaxing video👍🏻

[@ecurb10]

Hey Preston I'm addicted to your videos mate. The relaxing slow pace, narration and choice of music - all makes for a beautiful presentation. Well done 👍

[@michaelrhodes8581]

This is my favorite pair that I’ve seen you do 👍 They are beautiful

[@TheElegantOxford]

Wow thanks!

[@iainbickerstaff7099]

[@EscapeandDestroyTheMatrix]

Fantastic job. You are a truly amazing skilled Cobbler. Good choice of music. Never stop and keep up the spectacular work.

[@kowaltoboggan]

Preston, this production is food for the soul for thousands. Mesmerizing and satisfying! Let it be known that you are the reason I now have a broad selection of Saphir products, brushes, and other great products from the Hanger Project and other vendors. I had forgotten the levels of satisfaction and pride one can attain with shoe stuff and an hour. Your videos brought that back and raised it to new heights. Walking in shoes I shined then is the foundation for improving the rest of one’s appearance. You (and Kirby and a few others cited in your videos) are changing the world one shoeshine at a time. “BRAVO!” to what what may be one of your best videos yet. Time to touch up the mirror shine on my walnut Allen Edmonds Strands...

[@TheElegantOxford]

Thank you so much for your words. They mean a lot to me

[@mimisam18]

This made me happy. My favorite shoe in my closet is an AE Navy Oxford (no broguing) and I love wearing it. So much more interesting than a black shoe. This takes it to a whole new level.

[@vikrantraj.v]

Hey man! I wanted to know what color belt do you generally use with your navy blue shoes?

[@TheElegantOxford]

@vikrantraj.v i go to Allen Edmonds and buy a navy belt. Or I go to eBay and find belts that are the right color and even if they’re too big, I take them to a cobbler to resize them for cheap.

[@corpsiecorpsie_the_original]

@@Mario22149 - the Hanger Project sent the blue-specific supplies for the shoes being restored in this video, offsetting the financial impact of making this video, increasing the likelihood he'll be able to continue making videos for us to enjoy.

@@corpsiecorpsie_the_original k. I think a view and a like is support enough.

[@pattgsm]

askemone - I like the ease of Amazon (vendor verification is a must). However, if the item is the same price as direct from the factory or an local or small business I'd make an effort to support them. I may look to build a relationship with them like my barber, dry cleaners, tailor, cobbler, as these are the people behind the businesses that help us look our best. Besides Jeff Bezos doesn't need my $ or give me that type of personal attention or the "family" discounts for yrs of repeat business.
