Finally someone who shows that you can condition suede as long as you brush after etc.

@franminanicollier9431 3 ай бұрын

The especially frustrating thing is pretty much all the conditioners, including the Leather Milk Weston used, say explicitly not to use on suede or nubuck. I think it's only because the conditioner company assumes you don't know what you're doing, and it's hard to tell if a conditioner says not to use on suede because it'll change it, or because they don't trust you.

@CybertroninfiniteOfficial 3 ай бұрын

@@franminanicollier9431 the main reason is that those conditioners will unnap or remove the nappy nature of suede if users do not brush after, which a lot of consumers do not. I got "suede conditioner spray" which is just mick oil in a can lmao. Honestly disappointing since I already had bick 4

Great video reminded me to get tending my Birkenstocks, was taught by a lovely German lady to use cork sealant like Collonil for the sole sides. Also said to size by having a fingers space at the heal as she said a lot of people size to small which leads to the heal break up. On open toe you leave space at the front so your foot isn’t snug but moves within the footbed. The cleaning the the footbed and restoring the nap was something it took me times to realise leading to cracking on the footbed. Birkenstock used to do cleaning kits and cork sealant with conditioner like the stuff I use. Mines actually cracked after being left at home for weeks unused when I went on holiday

95% of these tech transplant workers in Seattle who think they are 'being cool locals' by wearing birkenstocks have an entire size too small for their feet because despite making 200K plus at 20/30 years old, they still cannot think for themselves and have zero clue about basic physics/engineering as it would apply to the ergonomic function of birkenstocks with having the extra heal space.

Those things came out pretty good. Would you recommend this similar method on rough-out leather? I have some Allen Edmonds loafers that are in a tan rough-out. I cleaned them with the saphir suede shampoo. But was not sure about best way to conditioned. Don’t want to darken them too Much.

@davisreynaud1287 10 ай бұрын

Weston! This was so informative. I got a pair of Nicks boots full rough-out leather and couldn’t find a single reliable video on how to clean them properly. Everyone says “don’t use saddle soap don’t use saddle soap” any way you could make a video explaining WHY not to use saddle soap? Then show a proper method for cleaning rough-out leather. Is it the same process as suede? Thanks for the awesome videos!

I just accidentally put my swim bag on top of my brand new oiled leather Birkenstocks. They are tobacco color and now on one side has 3grey spots. I don’t know if it’s just water spot or if any sunscreen lotion got on them. I took a damp towel and rubbed. Made the spots bigger. Hopefully they dry the normal color and not with water spot ring or the gray spots they currently have! I just bought them only had a week and were $150!!!

@justinlee9206 Ай бұрын

For cleaning my oiled leather Birkenstock Arizonas, it seems like I could follow the same process, but probably just a soft toothbrush to clean it and skip the brass bristle brush step. Is that correct? Do I condition the same way? Do you think you could create another video about cleaning oiled leather Arizonas?

Been looking into getting a pair of these Birkenstock Clogs and can’t decide on sizing. I noticed in the on feet towards the end of the video you have some space between the end of the clog and your heel. Would you recommend they fit like that as opposed to having your heel fall right up against the back of the clog?

What are your thoughts on the soft sole Birkenstocks? Apparently they’re the same as the regular ones just with a little bit of foam on top of the cork midsole to make them more squishy. Wouldn’t you argue that this might be more comfortable at first but worse later on since foam doesn’t keep that shape of your foot as good as just a cork midsole?

@oppositeofh8 10 ай бұрын

i've tried those on in the store, a few times, & my overall take is they've ruined the whole shoe. it's almost like: why bother with the cork? the cork fits right away & supports your foot perfectly. that gel layer they put between the lining & the footbed feels like it needs to be broken in & flat & clumsy. personally, i'm sticking with the originals -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it. i almost feel like birkenstocks is trying to cut back on the amount of cork, so they're trying to compensate by adding the gel layer. too gimmicky.

@jdlackey88 10 ай бұрын

I own both, the Soft Foot Bed does provide some squish but it stinks like foam and lengthens the break in process because you are smashing down the foam first. The classic footbed just smells like leather and immediately starts to conform to your feet. To me, the EVA outsole provides enough shock absorption.

@shanebep3135 10 ай бұрын

Yeah I wouldn't go with the foam ones, Birkenstock is known for their cork so why go away from that. Also personally, I find the spongy foam can cause you to walk improperly and gives you a higher chance of rolling your ankle, my adidas are like that.

Yes, I use this method on roughout moccasins I wear around the house and cooking outside. Another method is mix the bick 4 with some water to thin it, then mix well and apply with a spray bottle. After a good brushing both methods work out great. Stick with the less heavy conditioners though. Anything with wax won't work as well

How are birkenstocks sized compared to redwings?

@jdlackey88 10 ай бұрын

Birkenstocks are actually true to size. I wear a 12 in Red Wings and wear a 44 in Birks (about a US 11). Measure your foot on a piece of paper like they detail on their sizing guide and buy that size unless you like them floppy then go one size up. However, I would HIGHLY recommend you try them on in person cause it's all about how they hit your toes and arch. They are very contoured, it's not just a flat slab of foam like other shoes.

Thanks for the audio commentary, it really added to the video. I really want to love this channel but I find it hard to watch. I’m one of those people with ‘anti’ ASMR, so the sounds and lingering shots are intolerable to me without something to distract my attention a little. Otherwise I have to watch most of the videos with sound off and skip through many parts, which is a shame as I am interested in the content. Weird, huh? But Dr Google tells me I am not the only one who is repelled by ASMR!
