Love your're channel refreshing compared to the competition. you should consider a chamois (Polish Cloth) when applying these products. You can buy a large white tee and cut it to purpose there is more info online I am sure. This will make you shoe shining more efficient less messy

Hey Chris, do you have any recommendations on companies to check out for buying ties and pocket squares? PS I really liked your recommendation regarding Il Regalo socks! I don't feel like I really noticed the impact of wicking that everyone talks about while wearing them in shoes but I definitely liked the fit, look, material and how its thinness allowed my feet to dry really quickly!

Glad to hear Il Regalo is working out for you! Sam Hober is probably the best in the world for materials and craftsmanship that I have found. The best grenadine on the market imo. They are a bit short on patterns and designs, though. www.samhober.com/ Otherwise, Shibumi Firenze is great quality and has some of the best pattens I've seen. shibumi-firenze.com/ Rampley and Co. has some of the coolest pocket squares, designed to replicate historic renaissance paintings and such. Really stunning. www.rampleyandco.com/ @outbespoken on Instagram is my favorite inspiration for all-around classic menswear, but especially ties and pocket squares. instagram.com/outbespoken/

I would not for new shoes. Maybe once every few months, depending on how often you wear them and how dirty them get. You could put a scheduled routine on it, though ultimately just doing it by discretion would be best.

It can vary but generally the risk of using too much conditioner is that it could start to strip the base finish of the shoe due to its solvent content. I imagine using way too much might also leave a greasy surface texture that could attract dust and other kinds of dirt.

Not exactly sure on suede, as I am still working on getting more versed in suede/nubuck care. 100% do not do this process on suede, though. Suede is a whole different genre of products and care and Full-Grain-Leather Conditioners, Waxes, and Brushes like shown here are not effective on suede and can very well damage it. Suede generally should be pretty okay as-is, so I would not stress about it. Plenty of other great resources on KZitem that talk about suede, though!

@DressWell.Madaras
2 ай бұрын
Shoe Cream (as opposed to Conditioner) typically refers to a product that is effectively a dyed conditioner, like this: amzn.to/3xbfoDu It's main function is to add dye to the shoe in a way that is light, forgiving, and easy to blend. Often it comes with waxes and oils that condition/shine/protect the leather as well, though that is secondary. A typical shoe care workflow might look like Conditioner (to restore structural integrity) ---> Cream Polish (to restore color) ---> Wax (to protect) Because these are new shoes, there is no need for a Cream Polish as the color needs no restoration. You could use it, though, if you wanted to add a strong tinge of another color or darken the existing one.

How often should do this if i wear shoes once every two months, so like 6 times a year? Also after wear, once home, should i brush it, put trees in, and put it in a bag for long preservation? Thanks for amazing content.

If you wear them that infrequently, definitely store them in bags to protect them from any dust build up.
@DressWell.Madaras
2 ай бұрын
You are very welcome! If you where your shoes just once every 2 months, you would probably be fine conditioning once every 4-6 months, depending on your climate. I suggest brushing them once you are home, though that is up to you and largely by discretion. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Shoe trees should be considered mandatory. Putting them in a bag will help keep dust away and I strongly recommend it if your shoes are not otherwise kept in an area sealed from ambient dust. Here is my shoe care guide for more information: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1W6nz2qsbamHinY

Recently found your channel, and so far, I am enjoying and learning a lot. Quick question: Recently, bought a pair of new old stock Florsheim Imperial shoes (early 1980s pair) as my first pair of "higher end" shoes. Do you think i should do multiple rounds with the conditioner just because of the age of the shoes?
@DressWell.Madaras
2 ай бұрын
Hard to say without seeing them. I'd say maybe just use a tiny bit more conditioner than what I show here, but still do one round. Wear them for a few weeks and if they seem like they need it, give them another round.

Great content! Can I ask you for a piece of advice? I used saphir Rennovateur yesterday with a new pair of oxfords from CNES. Unfortunately, they discolored the shoes a little bit as I applied the product. The color stayed on my fingers and spread unevenly afterwards. What did I do wrong? Did I use too much cream? Did I press too much? What do you recommend I do? Would starting over (i.e., conditioning) help?
@DressWell.Madaras
2 ай бұрын
Part of why you want to use very little product - and test on an inconspicuous area - is because if you use too much product, it can lift the color for some shoes. How much a concern this is depends on how the shoemaker finished their shoes - and each shoemaker does so in different ways, even for different shoes within their product line. If your shoes have a patina that is relatively fresh, this issue is more likely. Though I have never had it happen when using an amount as small as shown in the video. Hard to tell, though it sounds like you may have used too much product. I can't properly diagnose without having a better understanding the the exact situation, though a reasonable solution may be to get a matching-color shoe cream and apply it carefully in multiple very-light, even layers to the affected areas until the color is restored.

You certainly could, though a good-quality resole will run generally $150 - $200. BS is $219 retail and often on sale for closer to $180. At that point, even if buying retail price, you may as well just get a brand new shoe.

I am not super familiar with cowboy boots. If they have lots of embossing, maybe just a thin layer to avoid buildup in all the various divots. Otherwise, if they are full-grain leather, I don't see why not.
