In this video I take a pair of $20 thrift store Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovan Bradleys and see if I can refresh them using stuff a normal shoe guy/gal has laying around.
*This is a nice method for reducing creases. However, according to Steve from Bedos, the creases will keep coming back from regular wear of shoes and boots. Leather has a memory. He is definitely a great cobbler with good advice. The end result looks nice!*

I guess, it is absolutly plausibel (without the aid of Steve from Bedos, even so he is a genius cobbler!) that the creases come back because shoes are objects of utility. If your feet don't buckle, your shoes will not have creases. Show me one guy whose feet don't buckle. :D

Nice catch, have those in color 8. One of my favorite pairs all time. Shell is so good and thick on these that it rivals my aldens.

Thanks for the comment! I have these (that I got new) in color 8 and I always wondered if I should have paid a little more to get the Aldens. What's your opinion? I mean I love my pair, but Aldens look like their just a little better all around.

@@YouShoe-1985 Had a pair of Aldens 2210 but sold of coz of Aberdeen last, if they were in berri I would have kept them, they have lil bit different top portion and single piece on heel which I did like. AE has thicker shell, at least on my pair. Both models are beautiful since I love moc toe and have couple of indys and penny loafers aswell. More the merrier specially in shell and for good price. Shoutout to Bedo and Robert, been follower for some time and also glad I found your channel. Thumbs up for great content

@@YouShoe-1985 Thank you,. As I am situated in europe I can't really find good deals but overall I do prefer footwear and variety of options in width on lasts heritage brands of US provide of the rack. It truly makes my shoe experience more pleasant since I do not like to cramp up my toes just for looks.

I don't see the point with using a towel to apply conditioner. The towel ends up with most of the product. Can certainly relate to using a drying oil to finish a piece of wood.

cotton doesn't really absorb oil. and you would have to wipe excess conditioner off anyways

Love your videos. I would love to see you do the shoe protectors. I also love Robert powers but he slowed down making shoe videos.

Thanks for the comment! If I find a pair that could use them I’ll make a video.
