The best three euros I have ever spent. A shoe-shine job that defies all shoe-shines in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey during our round-the-world cycling tour - www.tour.tk
Back in the days pure ASMR was found without any bullshit. Pure old ASMR gives the best vibes.

That all said, it's a fucking teadious job that I try to avoid doing more than twice a month! God bless this guy! Inspite of the few mistakes made, he did an outstanding job and put A LOT of efffort into it

@tourdottk In my experience I've used hair dryers/craft heat guns to heat up the polish so it spreads evenly over the leather. I'm sure it also makes it easier for the leather to take in the polish. Great video!
@UndercoverDigital

@tourdottk Exactly right. The heat opens the "pores" of the leather and lets the dye in the polish penetrate more deeply. I used to work at a shoe repain in a former life ;)

@dawgofrick3

He is painting the shoes. Thats what the boiling water is for, to help dry the paint. You see that big brush he's using to cover the shoes in what looks like black paint? That's sole dressing and is meant to be used on the sole of your shoe only. Worst part of all, he never cleans the shoes, just paints over and polishes over the dirt. Hope you don't get those boots wet!

~ to those people saying he should have been paid more for doing that; if you think about it he did that really mucky pair in about 6mins, he can therefore do about 10 per hour meaning he gets a minimum of 30E per hour =). Plus, not all the shoes he does will be as bad as that and so won't take as long. 30E+ per hour isn't bad for the effort he puts in!
