I bet your shoe game is off the charts. How about a display of your collection?

this is one of the most relaxing videos i've seen on youtube.

Thanks for rekindling my desire to buy, shine and maintain quality shoes.

Very nice background music adds to your relaxing voice tone. A pleasure to watch your videos.

Classic oxfords there. They got just the right amount of love.

Happy Father’s Day Preston! You’re work and teaching style are excellent. Thank you my friend.

This was so relaxing to watch

I have waged two of your videos, and I’m amazed at the fact that you are a shoe artist. Beautiful job!

Yes as you say they use great leathers but the construction as well is super solid and refined, just give a look to the stitches how close and precise they are. Then the top thing is how confortable EG are, by new you were them twice and they are ready for beeing carried around all day without any issues. I own one pair since 13 years, resoled 3 times and they still look 1 year old. Great great product!

A pure passion is such a beautiful thing! God Bless my friend!

Once again You did it. That shine...is perfect. I´ve tried and tried, not even close. But still some satisfaction walking with shiny shoes.

Happy belated Father’s Day! Could you do a video on how to patina and shine loafers? I have a thorough understanding of most lace-ups, but loafers seem to be harder to imagine the darker spots. Also, could you make a video on putting a patina on a pair of shoes with shoe creams and wax polish only? I would like to see how far cream polishes can go.

I have a small challenge. I will never say you don't do an excellent job polishing shoes. Definitely one of the best I've seen. With that said, I'd like to do you do the same kind of mirror shine on a pair of police duty boots. The leather grain is much more porus and a bit of a challenge. I'd like to see what you can do. I work with and shine Bates Enforcers. They don't have a cap. Really open pores. It would be entertaining to see what you could do.

Perfect! Now I'll try this with my Converse Chuck 70s.

Mate, I have almost the exact same pair (without the quarter brogue) and I was really stressing about which shoe cream to use - so much so I was planning to go to Edward Green this weekend - but after watching this I just ordered MDO in medium brown. And yes, the patina on the back is stylistic - my EGs have the same. Great video as always.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for all your tips and wonderful videos! Regards from Argentina

Pretty spectacular shine!🌟

Your work is absolutely amazing!

Great show and great channel. Saying Hello from Puerto Rico. Thank you for sharing with us mortals your wisdom. I myself have learned a lot and my first two mirror shine have been succesful. I watch your channel every day. Keep it up.

Working over Covid, I managed to spill an unbelievable amount of alcohol hand gel on my brown leather shoes. It was like acid, eating right through the surface of the leather, leaving dark brown stains just like your clients example. Prosecco has the same effect it seems.

Amazing job making them fresh again!

Excellent work you are second to none.

Dude your incredible

Glad to see you using the Creme Universelle. Great product

Haha it's my most recent model. I havent used saphir on my owns in years... only EG products

Your videos are so informative and instructional . . . thank you! I just used your technique to get a mirror shine on a pair of Allen Edmonds that I have in dark chili and it came out beautifully . . . what a difference! Thank you again and continued good luck on your channel. I just subscribed as I'm just now getting into higher end shoes.

excited for the next video

I know you do mostly shoes but I think you could get some unbelievable view numbers if you did some iPhone leather case videos of the different brands such as bullstrap andar and apple, trying to do patina, wax and or mirror shines to find the best quality leather between brands and finally get to the bottom of what manufacturer uses the best leather on these cases.

Allen Edmonds made the Sullivan boot (discontinued) styled after the Galway. You can sometimes find a pair on eBay.

You should recommend cobblers sell sell a derringer with each pair of shoes in case someone steps on your toes deliberately or otherwise. They must pay! 😀

Priceless information!

Hey Preston hope you post a new video soon

You should give pure polish a try you'll love it and you should get a pair of Grant Stone Oxfords the quality is above that of Allen Edmonds for $100 less the price

How do you get rid of a foggy mirror shine

"Renovateur Junior" is Saphir's Médaille d'Or Lotion, a superior product to Creme Universelle. You should definitely be using it on expensive shoes.

Nice job 👏 👍 👌

Hello, I really like to watch your videos and have learned a lot from you. I do have a question: how do you clean the brushes that you use to clean shoes? I imagine that after shining so many shoes there must be some polish left in those brushes

Wooow impressionnant 😳

I am watching your videos for a while now and I do love how amazing job is done. I finally bought the products you advised (saphir but not all are Medaille d'or). However, I am still afraid to use my bare hands/fingers with chemical products. Any hand care routine to suggest? Thx again and keep doing well!

Es realmente asombroso 🤩

Can anyone here tell me how to reach Mr. Soto to see if he can fix/replace the botched factory finish on a personally meaningful pair of Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues? I've had no luck finding contact info.

Preston, do you not use edge dressing anymore, such as Fiebings? I’m wondering why you went the dye route for these. Incredible work as always.

Please excuse my ignorance, but why isn't the rest of the shoe mirror shined?

Hi Preston, love your videos, very informative. I'd like to understand what the alcohol and water mix does for the shine? What is a good ratio? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello! I am just wondering how you started the client gives you shoes and you fix them. I am only 15 but after joining the raf air cadets I had to learn how to shine shoes and you were my go to youtuber!! I had watched almost all of your videos and learnt so much that my shoes have become shinier than my flight seargents! I’m only wondering how you started because I have achieved a fantastic mirror shine almost as good as yours and I’m looking to start a little shoe polishing and shoe fixing business myself when I’m older but first I need some practice with it. How would I start what you started? Please answer and thank you for your amazing videos!

I have heard that Kiwi Shoes polish is 85-95% as good as Saphire, However, Kiwi does have parade Gloss, do you know how to apply Kiwi Parade Gloss to a pair of black capped Oxford's? That looks 99% the same as Saphir's Mirrror Gloss?

Your videos are riveting and your handiwork is sublime! What do you think makes the leather better? Is it the tanning process? Is it the condition of the skin when it arrives at the tannery? Is it the lifestyle of the animal?

Great job as always, although I must say I'm not a fan of the glassy toe look. I'd prefer the finish the rest of the shoe had on the toe.. but they do look great! Question.. when I grew up in the 1960s laces had wax so they never came undone. Is there a way to add/treat wax onto shoe laces? I mean, if there were, I'd do it to every shoe/sneaker/hiking boot/ice skate I have!

Ok, I have to ask WHY you chose the Crème Universelle over the Renovateur. Just to use it or was there some reason behind it?

"let out a baby yell"

When I use a conditionere and shoe cream for example, after drying, Can I buff with a cotton fabric only? buff with an horse brush? cotton fabric and then horse brush? Thanks!

Greetings, I have a question. I have a pair of black capped Oxford (pointed toe) and just past the cap, there are what looks like burn/blistering, can they be repaired with polish? They are full Goodyear welted and the heals are nailed!

I have a pair of Goodyear Welted leder-cuero shoes, the heals are nailed. Are they good quality and what would the retail price?

Hi Preston. Have watched a tonne of your videos over the last few weeks and finally took the plunge and got some Saphir products. I am in the military and have been using kiwi for years. Should I wash my horsehair brush of the residue before letting it near any Saphir products?

Hi Preston. What is the best way to contact you for dye/patina services?

CRUNCHBAR ON THE MICROPHONE

What grit did you use to sand down the toe?

It would be nice to have the time to do this type of shoe shine every day so i can have them like this at work every day. But i guess she shine does not last very much.

I’m having a bit of trouble achieving the mirror shine with cloth rags. I notice I only get my results with cotton balls. Could it be the material of the cloth that I am using? Love your content!!

What is the benefit of using the yellow wax?

Dear Preston Firstly, great channel. I have a doubt. I just bought a pair of Oxfords "brown chocolate". What cream do I need use for them? A neutral or a dark brown cream? Best Luis

Preston- have you ever encountered a shoe finish that is very susceptible to water marks. I have a pair of cognac brogued captoes and every small drop of water blanches the finish. I have to reapply shoe cream after every wearing. I’ve polished waxed many times. Any thoughts?

When I shine my shoes each time, do I have to clean the shoes with acetone or saddle soap each time? Because if not, wouldn't the wax from the last shine interfere the penetration of conditioner?

Hi Preston, have you ever use Saphir MDO Mirror Gloss Wax? Or just using the basic MDO soft wax until now?

How do you polish white leather shoes shine. And tips maintain clean it.

hello i love your videos. i have a pair of crockett and jones handgrades that i got a month ago and they have the captoe exactly like that however, i am experiencing flexing on the captoe, is that normal?? i got the shoes from the original shop brand new and it was my 2nd pair as i was in love with the 1st pair however, i can only mirror shine the point of the captoe because the rest is flexing what do i do?? quite disappointed as i paid nearly 700 pounds for the shoe and i can't mirror shine the captoe because it flexes

Do you recommend mirror shines for everyday wear? Or would I likely see the wax crack throughout the week?

Kindly Tel me the complete name of shoe wax

It could be red wine???

Hi. What do you think about Herring shoe cream? Is it on par with Saphir?

How many days does that shine lasts

When I get a couple layers on the toe, I tend to go back and forth between ice and just tapping the mirror shine from Saphir, but it always eventually devolves from what looks like heading towards a mirror shine to it sort of just getting cloudy again. I pause and wait 24 hours to try again and can usually get it going again but always hit that wall eventually. Is that normal?

Preston, do you ever have issues with toes wiggling cracking your mirror shines? Are my shoes too small, the toe box not stiff enough or is this normal? It's a pair of Cobbler Union adelaides

Do you have a good way of getting that solvent/wax smell off your hands other than water and soap?

I have EE in US. Are the carmina EEE comfortable?

Subtitles in many languages, please. I AM italian. Thanks

Good evening. I have emailed you, but no response. Would love to purchase items from you for spit shining. and would love for you to dye a pair of Brand New Stacy Adams Indigo blue shoes for me.. they look black to me. I have 3 other pair of Stacy Adams Indigo shoes and they all look blue, but this pair looks black to me

Pappy fathers day Preston'.. would like you to dye and mirror shine my shoes, and purchase products from you. how can I get in contact with you? I have sent a email, and message you on you tube.

I sent you an email and have not yet gotten a reply. I would like you to restore my shoes. Thanks

what the fuck are those spam comments?

i thought fathers day passed
