Unfortunately that shoes were beyond repair to keep that color from the prior owner who painted them. Though, I do agree with you that the 875 oro color is great. I do love the new color, though!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate your support and I'm thrilled you found the tips useful!

That's a great question. I'll make a video on it someday soon, hopefully!

Hey friend, thanks so much for watching. I hope I've earned your subscription! So glad we found each other. I have tons of other helpful videos, so check them out!

The sun is a great way to gently warm up your leather! Though, not everyone has it all the time. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you found it useful. The whole reason why I made my channel is because I saw that no one was really teaching exactly what to do, I hope you enjoyed it and that your UGGs turn out well! Please consider subscribing and sharing with your friends and fam. :)

That’s awesome! Ugg boots are definitely worth taking good care of. How’s the cleaning process going for you?

To properly clean the inside of athletic sneakers, start by removing the laces and, if possible, the insoles. Shake out any loose debris and use a soft-bristle brush to loosen dirt. Wash the insoles separately with a mild soap and water solution, or sprinkle them with baking soda to tackle odors, then let them air dry completely, don't store them unless they're fully dry. You can even insert dry cloths or paper to better absorb excess moisture. For the shoe’s interior, mix warm water with mild soap, scrub gently with a cloth or sponge, and wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth. Be sure to let both the shoes and insoles fully air dry in a well-ventilated area-this is crucial to prevent mold or mildew from growing, which can cause a nasty stink. This drying step is non-negotiable! Maybe I should make a video on this-it’s a game-changer for keeping your sneakers fresh and clean!

Hey Meghan! I'm so glad we found each other. To be honest, if you don't need polish specifically, I'd rather suggest getting a conditioner. Polish is for shining and includes waxes, but if you want to keep that beautiful patina, I'd highly suggest just using something like leather honey conditioner or a mink oil paste. Note that this may darken your leather slightly and a little goes a long way :) You can find my top suggestions here: kit.co/evumies

True! Thanks so much for sharing. For others who don't know: Over-waxing blocks leather's pores, preventing it from absorbing moisture and oils. This causes the leather to dry out, become brittle, and lose flexibility. When stressed through bending or creasing, the dehydrated leather cracks. Additionally, hardened wax buildup exacerbates the issue by stiffening the surface further.

No problem! Just remember, cleaning your UGGs is like giving them a spa day-every boot deserves some pampering! Keep an eye out for my next UGG chestnut videos coming out soon!

Dang, nice! I love finding those gems! Honestly, if it's what I'm imagining, there is a split in the midsole? I've dealt with that before. Many cobbler's are very expensive to do that work, but if it's what I'm thinking, you may be able to just super glue it back together and it'll bond just find. I've done that and it worked perfectly. Just be sure to light up the midsole properly once you add the glue and then clamp it down until dry. Let me know if you think that could work.

@ Yeah, its hard to explain I don’t know my way around a shoe very well haha but I think your right about the midsole. Not surprised it started splitting given their age too! I haven’t thought about gluing it yet, that’s a good idea. I don’t know if the super glue I have would hold up against constant flexing. Maybe some kind of flexible adhesive might work? Maybe Shoe Goo? What do you mean by light up the midsole? Thank you for the input!

Hey friend, as I mentioned in the video, these are a Red Wing Shoes model 699 logger boot. They're great, aren't they?

@evumies Thanks 👍

Hey friend. Thanks so much for watching. Yeah, I've totally been there. Keep in mind the difference between surface scuffs (which can come off fairly easily) and deeper scuffs, which you'll need to cover with a white leather dye like the one I used. I hope this helps you achieve the results you're looking for. All the best! Please subscribe! Thanks.

Hey friend. I wiped off the saddle soap with a damp cloth instead of rinsing, and honestly, that’s just what works best for me. Here’s the thing-leather and too much water don’t mix well. When you rinse, you can accidentally soak the leather, which might mess with its structure or make it dry unevenly. Wiping, on the other hand, keeps things clean without overdoing the moisture. That’s also why it’s super important not to use too much soap in the first place. If you go overboard, you end up with way more to remove, and that’s when rinsing might seem like the only option. A little bit of soap goes a long way-you just need enough to lift the dirt. Wiping with a damp cloth is usually plenty to clear off the soap without stripping away the natural oils or protective finishes on the leather. So yeah, rinsing isn’t the end of the world if you need it, but keeping it simple with a small amount of soap and wiping it off works best for me. It gets the job done without overcomplicating things or risking the leather. Hope that makes sense!

Absolutely. Thanks! Totally makes sense.

@@andrmikg Awesome. At the end of the day, do what's best for your situation.

@@evumies Oh neat! Thanks. I was linked to this specific video from a Reddit post asking how to restore old Docs

@@glassbreaks99 I'm on Reddit? Awesome! I hope it helped you! Let me know! :)

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad we found each other. Hope you can check out my other videos as well!

¡Sí, se pueden restaurar! 😊 Mira este video: ruclips.net/video/VvxN3DXuvT0/видео.html

Thank you so much! I appreciate your time. Thanks for watching :)

Hey, that's an excellent question. The answer is "it can." If you push too hard and scrape up the fibers, you can potentially damage your suede, however, a brass bristle suede brush can be really good for properly lifting up suede fibers that have been flattened by wear. If you use one, just don't push too hard. Hope that helps!

@@evumies I read it’s good to refluff the shoe but to remove water marks, should I use an eraser with a soft bristle brush as shown in your video?

@@landonray7259 Yeah, refluffing or re-napping the suede fibers. The brass bristle is great for that. As for the water marks, those can be tricky. I'd first try a suede eraser, but if that alone doesn't work, you'll need to use a suede cleaner. I'd suggest Leather Honey's suede & nubuck kit in the description. It's specially formulated to both clean and bring back the softness of your suede. But to get the best chances of removing water marks, you need to get the entire suede wet with the cleaner, if not, it may just leave more water marks. All the best.

Hey friend. Thanks so much for watching. First off, I meant no offense so I apologize if I made you feel offended. Secondly, it was honestly a passing by comment. Not anything woke as far as I know. Although I think that all genders can be gentle, its more dependent on personality I guess! Thanks so much for watching and I hope it worked for you!

Glad we found each other! Thanks so much for watching.

Hey Brandon, I totally get you. Not only are Thursday boots high quality boots, they're also the boots that I feel most comfortable wearing. They make me feel confident and sturdy.

Hey friend. It's going to be in the leather honey nubuck and suede kit. I'd highly suggest that one!

Are you talking about the outsole heel? or on the inside of the boot? You can potentially buy heel replacements or get your boots resole, which can be costly. However, if they are Dr. Martens, it's very expensive and rare to find someone who can resole dr. martens. Let me know.

Hey Raymond! Thanks so much for watching and your input. I really appreciate your kind words. I do have a pair of white's as well, as I love to collect various boots that you've seen on the channel. Please subscribe and hit the bell icon. Also, check out this White's video! ruclips.net/video/iaRrAv_0n4s/видео.html

Hey Greg! Thanks for watching. If you live near a Crossroads Trading company, I usually find mine there. Of course there's eBay, Poshmark, or Mercari. Best of luck.

You're so welcome. Thanks for watching. It my experience, I find that I can get the bag wet, even with a little water, as long as it doesn't literally soak and leave the water in there for a long time. As for removing the cleaner, it depends. If you've used too much product, you can use a little water with a brush to remove the soap, but if you don't need to, just wipe it with a clean cloth. All the best!

Great question! Mink oil spray and nano shoe protector spray serve different purposes, and using both can be beneficial depending on your needs. Mink Oil Spray: This is primarily a conditioner. It helps maintain suede’s soft texture and keeps it feeling luxurious. It’s especially useful if your sneakers feel dry or if you want to enhance the buttery softness that suede is known for. Nano Shoe Protector Spray: This creates a hydrophobic barrier that protects your brightly colored suede sneakers from stains, spills, dirt, and water. It helps preserve the appearance of your suede by preventing damage from environmental factors. Recommendation Since you have brightly colored suede sneakers, I’d recommend using both: Ensure that your suede is completely clean and dry. Start with mink oil spray to condition and rejuvenate the suede. Let it dry fully. Don't apply protector if it's still wet. Follow up with the nano protector spray to seal in the conditioning and shield your sneakers from external elements. This combo ensures your suede stays soft, vibrant, and protected! If you haven't purchased either yet, I'd highly suggest Leather Honey's suede & nubuck kit! kit.co/evumies

Oh no! Yeah, that'll definitely ruin your suede. Though, I had a friend who did the same and they said that soaking it in some white vinegar and water solution helped. You can try it at your own risk, but the acidity in white vinegar seemed to neutralize the alkalinity of the oxiclean. I don't know if it'll help, but I wish you the best.

You're so welcome! I'm glad we found each other. I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes! I hope I've earned your subscription!

Hey there. That's a great question. Luckily, I happen to be very familiar with the greasy leather from Dr. Martens. I'd highly suggest their Dr. Martens wonder balsam as it's what they also say to use for specifically the greasy leather. If you don't want that, I've found Cobbler's choice leather cream (it's more like a balm) and it does well to keep your matte look, just don't shine it with a brush or cloth. You can wipe off excess, just don't shine it. amzn.to/417b8Bt I hope that helps! Let me know how it turns out. All in all, if it ruins the matte finish, you can just clean it off and try something else.

The brand is Red Wing Boots. Check them out. High quality.

Definitely give it a go! check out my frye video here: ruclips.net/video/mK0T8kI9FUY/видео.html also, conditioning suggestions here kit.co/evumies

Actually I bought them years and years ago. They're vintage but taken care of well. Also, you don't need to have worn down heels if you walk appropriately. Thanks for watching. All the best.

Yeah, it totally depends on what the issue is or what is on the suede itself. Definitely try Leather Honey's suede & nubuck kit! kit.co/evumies

I am so sorry! I accidentally put the wrong thumbnail, I'll fix it now! Glad you caught it. But I have good news, here's the video you wanted to see! ruclips.net/video/5UzUZWgwFo0/видео.htmlsi=-Vl0Z5Fnk-dlsllM Thanks so much for watching, I hope I've earned your subscription!

You make a great point about quality suede being more water-resistant, but it’s still a good idea to avoid getting suede wet when possible. Most people either can’t afford or don’t know how to differentiate between the quality of suede, and proper care can be tricky. Also, I wouldn’t say someone has to be an idiot to purchase thin suede-it might just be a preference for breathability or aesthetics. At the end of the day, it’s all about knowing what you’re buying and how to take care of it. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for watching! Please consider subscribing. Don't forget the bell notification! :)

Thanks so much for watching! Let me know how your project goes if you do it! :)

Definitely try it! If it doesn't completely take out the dye, it should at least decrease it! All the best. Thanks for watching and let me know how it turns out!

Thanks so much for watching. While I do realize more contrasting transformations can be exciting, my goal is to share how to care for your leather footwear BEFORE it gets too bad. I know this may not be what entices people, but this information is vital when it comes to prevention. I'll keep that in mind! :)

@@evumies . Your point is valid too.

That's awesome. Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad we found eachother!

I definitely prefer yellow stitching for docs as well, haha. Thanks so much for watching!

Awesome to hear! Thanks so much for the kind words. I used to watch other RUclipsrs restore leather and footwear but they never taught anyone how, that's the very reason why I started my channel because I wanted others to learn just like I did. Cheers. Love my French friends!

Hey there! Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it.

Thank you for watching, my friend. Cowboy boots are definitely for the hardworking. People love them because they're practical, durable, and protective. Many people note they're very comfortable, which I agree with. Depending on your budget, I'd go with Thursday Boots Cowboy boots, Tecovas, or Tony Lama.

You're welcome! That's a shame! I hope this works for you! Let me know how it turns out. :)
