This is art. I mean this entire presentation. The music, the pace, the narration, the filming and editing. The finished product was stunning.
Agreed
This is definitely one of your more “wow” videos with regards to the before and after. They look amazing
I agree
@@TheElegantOxford - This is artistic work... Wow!
Now, I am a little low in confidence if I can do the same.
Preston - I have a pair of boots to donate. Would you send me your address?
Preston you out did yourself. The pair of shoes look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I appreciate it
The Elegant Oxford do you have a face
Fantastic! The marbling technique is especially cool. I always love the magical transformation that happens when the conditioner goes on and suddenly the finish all blends together!
I love when that happens
I love the fact you've been inspired by the patina on your brother's guitar. As a woodworker (and a guitarist) I see the correlation between the patina and character of dyed timber, and that of polished leather: both share similarities. Long may he Elegant Oxford continue.
Peace and Love.
Tony
Thanks, Tony!
How bout flamed maple? Monkeypod wood is incredible too,I know a guitar factor owner who gave me sneak peek at clients projects.
Well after watching all your videos I'd have to say this pair are my favourite restoration work you've done. Simply beautiful. Unfortunately I'd not be able to wear them, only put them on show in a glass case.
I feel the same way
WOW!!!! I am so ready to go to a thrift store and find a pair of shoes and experiment! Absolutely fantastic! Those shoes are beautiful! Especially after seeing the before compared to the after! Well done!
This channel inspired me to pursue my own interest for working with leather during the lockdown.
Now, after some time building my skills, and an impressive shoe collection I amassed in the process, I finally moved to do this exact job on a pair of tan oxfords. They are beautiful, but I fear using them and getting some damage!
I am about to make a second pair to use on special events and a pair of boots.
Watching an artisan at his craft is truly a wonderful and satisfying thing. I came across your videos quite by accident and simply couldn't stop watching.
A sheer work of Art! I wish I could find stores that had shoe in these styles.🎨
True artistry. Plus, with that mesmerising sound track it's such a relaxing watch! Thank you.
My pleasure
That was like getting to watch Monet paint. Amazing.
Oh wow, they def have a Les Paul feel to the color tones.
I've lost track of how many time's I've watched this video. Pleasant to watch and I also learned a lot. In fact, this video gave me the confidence to try it out on one of my shoes. Thanks Preston!
That’s a lot Patrick!
Dude you are a true artist with serious skills. Absolutely beautiful.
I appreciate that!
I just love how clam and relaxing it is.
Love from India
The work is perfect. Amazing transformation. May I ask you to list all used products by details in each video description for reference?
I love the old sponge and creative techniques. Seemingly simple but I'm sure an acquired skill. v nice!
That's it, I'm off to find a pair of used shoes. You have inspired me to boost my shoe art game.
I think I have watched this video at least 3 dozen times in the past few days. Just bought a pair of used Allen Edmonds Strand oxfords in light brown to do exactly this...along with maybe some toe taps on a resole dyed red. Inspiring!
Best shoe transformation IMO! Yah ohhh yeah 😉👞👏🏻
Juanadomakeup - 👍😍I agree with you.💞
Great video, Preston! I’m a guitar player and I’ve loved how these always remind me of sunburst guitar finished. Awesome to know that one of your brother’s guitars inspired you for this pair.
It looks so amazing, looks like a beautiful wood sculpture 😍😍
These are truly a work of art
Watching this legit just saved me from throwing away a pair I thought I had ruined trying to patina. Good thing I watched this first and had acetone
I’m glad it helped!
You could always dye it black, too. Jeez.
Here we go again. First it was bicycle restoration videos. My old Hardrock is now restored. Then it was custom and vintage axes. On to boiling and refinishing a Spanish Mauser rifle stock. Now I have to get all my 45 year old boots out and do some custom work on them.
An inspiring job on those shoes. Takes me back to sitting with my Father polishing Sunday shoes Military MP style. It was Kiwi and the cold water. That was in 1966 or so. I also saw your leather briefcase video, if you what to try something different, look on Ebay for vintage leather ammunition pouches. Thanks for the tips, tricks and inspiration.
Brother man I’ve seen a lot of your videos and I’m a big fan. But I have never seen better work than this right here. These are fantastic. I love to buy a new pair that looks like that.
After I watched this, I subscribed straight away! You are an artist!!!
Excellent job by the legendary Preston "Impressive" Soto
Your really need to start your own shoe line "signature" collection!! Artisan skills like that are the true definition of "hand crafted." Well done, sir!
Thank you! That would be cool
Those are absolutely the most beautiful pair of shoes I've ever seen! You give me confidence that I can continue to try new techniques, though I've not tried to dye my shoes. The Hermes Red seems to be the very best color to highlight or offset light and dark brown edges- I want to try it. Impressive techniques, Preston. Thanks.
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching
Holy spats Batman! That is gorgeous! Saved the video. I have a pair of shoes this would look great on!
The shoe whisperer - coaxing out all that beauty. Amazing.
This look is definitely impressive, reminds me of Bontoni patina, which is perhaps the best out there, in my opinion... great job
Really wonderful. You are an artist. These shoes are lucking stunning :-)
Hats off mister. In México I used to work as a kid in a workshop. After many years I will start to do my on patina again. Thanks for revived my pasion. God bless.
Amazing! Buena suerte 👍🏻
Probably your best video and patina & dye tutorial, Enjoyed the subtleness and music in the background. Thank you for posting.
The word Wow doesn't even contain what you have done here! You are a magician.
Супер, очень красиво сделали!!! Очень поучительное видео!!! Респект мастеру!!!🔥
You make those shoes look like a million bucks!!
Wow dude, that really is a special job you put on those shoes... I’d love to get my own “Preston Edition” Allen Edmonds some day.
Anytime
Stunning, simply stunning.
Job well done.
Just yesterday I 'two toned' a favorite pair of loafers, using brown polish and conditioner after a small repair. Wow, this is just so nicely done, I want to go back and enhance my previous days' work. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching
Wow! Absolutely brilliant end result. 👍
To me this is the ultimate masterpiece.... Superb job.
That is a spectacular pair of shoes. Awesome job!
It‘s very time consuming but looks gorgeous!
I find your videos very therapeutic and relaxing. I can't be alone in that? Very informative too.
Very very nice. I wish I discovered your channel sooner. Better late than never. Love your work
Preston-
Insane man! You need to be a contesting next years patina world championship with Kirby Allison ... those shoes are jaw-dropping beautiful.
Once again Preston, the work you do is amazing, and the end results are spectacular.Those can be considered moving pieces of art
Thank you SO much Kevin!
Man, it’s amazing I see the step I missed to create the marble effect, you have created a monster, I ask my friends for their shoes, lol
Man..this is insane. You are an artist!!
Это просто фантастика! Bravo!
Another quality job Preston . Wow!
TRULY REMARKABLE. GORGEOUS!!
Thanks 🙏 I’m glad you liked them
What an artist. Incredible. Thanks
wooooooow !!!!! the best looking pair of oxfords !!!!!!!! that mirror gloss !!!!!!
Thanks!
Preston... You killed it. You inspired me to dye my first pair, and they came out pretty good. Thanks for your videos. You rock.
The Elegant Oxford did it again. Such a beautiful shoe. This channel should be over 1M subs already. Such an awesome channel.
Beautiful sir. I would wear those with pride.
One ☝️ of ur best videos yet like 👍🏽delivered
Absolutely awesome. I never thought much of dress shoes until I found your channel. Thank you for a new obsession.
What a fine transformation on this pair of shoes. Nicely done.
Preston, you are a true artist!
Always a pleasure watching your videos.
stunning. Thanks for sharing your art with us!
If a shoe company had made this shoe, it would be worth $1,000
THANKS!
Legitimately think that every time a shoe is finished!!!
Thank you for this very inspirational video. True craftsmanship. Now I want to buy an old pair and dye it too. Just for the pleasure of it.
You are an artist. What a transformation.
Thank you!
I search for ways to DIY and find a great video of an artist.
Beautiful work.
God Preston, you are a true artist, a magician! Watching your work is always such a treat! Thank you for always sharing your amazing work!
Thanks!
You’re an absolute artist. A shear pleasure to watch. You have probably doubled the value of those shoes too.
This is one of the most beautiful colors man ever made on a shoe! great work
Music is perfect thank you. I am polishing my shoes lol It is a real pleasure to watch your videos thank you again for uploading
Damn Man!!! Masterpiece job!!! Thank U for sharing with us.
They look amazing. I hate seeing a bourbon pair lose it’s color because they are no longer in production but I also love seeing what you did with the pair. Job well done.
Thanks! Bourbon is a bit tricky
Spectacular!!! You really out did yourself with this video, Preston. BRAVO!!
Thanks!
This is one of my favorites of your vids
Wow! I can't believe I have been inspired to try this myself. I have an old pair of walnut 5th Avenues that will be my test subjects. I'm sure it's not nearly as easy as you make it look, but we'll see soon enough. Thanks for making this video.
Man that was beautifully done.bravo!
I really believe this is your best work yet. Beautiful result that anyone would be proud to wear. Well done.
I think it is too!
👍😍Wow! ABSOLUTELY Beautiful!! Thank you. I’m so relaxed now. I sure I’ll sleep well. 🤗💞🤗
Thanks for watching
The Elegant Oxford - 👍I’ve been spreading the word here in Atlanta. I absolutely adore your channel. I can’t wait for you and the Sartorial Talks channel to collaborate!!! 🙏🤞🤗💞🤗
Thanks to your videos, I finally did it -- I used acetone to strip my pair of Walnut Allen Edmonds Carlyle Plain-Toe Oxfords, then applied Saphir Renovateur and a bit of Walnut cream. Not only do the shoes look better, I feel accomplished! Thank you for your videos.
Amazing! Good work
Is the acetone to remove a factory coating? Do you have a video that youd recommend to show the proper way to apply acetone?
I used acetone to strip away layers of walnut polish I applied over approximately 2 years. It’s like not washing your car for 2 years and finally removing all the dirt and grime that has been accumulating. No doubt some of the original finish was stripped off too, but my goal was to have a cleaned and uniform surface to apply the conditioner. It all worked out!
@@ryongraf6465 it really doesn't matter if the factory finish is removed tbh, once you add a a few extra layers of creme and wax the shoe looks great. I only use acetone sparingly maybe like once every 6-8 months it's only used for buildup not regular maintenance.
Those aren't shoes any more. Those are works of art!!!! :)
Absolutely Gorgeous Shoes...!
This video is pure GOLD!
Thanks 🙏
Very Nice job. Look really great. Thanks for posting .
Fantastic job! Great piano background music.
Absolutely relaxing!
Great video and great result !!!! Very good Job !!!!
Those are insane. Thanks for the inspiration and I need to try to make some for myself.
WOOOOOOOW, PRESTON!!! Those are gorgeous!!! Thank you for that, Love love your videos! Hope everything is cherry for you and your little family! 🎩🌷
Thank you, Angela! Zelda is growing so fast
You are truly an artist. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure
Super as always and yes this pair look stunning.. the shoe I have always wanted but never seen.
I have bought an array of Saphir and Fiebings products and am having pleasure and fun with shoes and all because of you. Thank you.
One thing I have not achieved as you seemed to do with this pair especially and that is to have a balanced shine between the mirror shine areas and the rest of the shoe giving the sense that the whole shoe was mirror shine.
Thanks for the videos and inspiration.
Thank you! I mirror shined the heels and sides around the flex points. You can do it too just avoid areas that will cause cracks.
@@TheElegantOxford thank you! I will try it.
Preston, Great Job!!! I did not know you could do this to a pair of shoes. Amazing.
Thanks for watching
Wow Preston, just when I think you've done it all, you go and do some more. These look amazing!
Thanks for watching
One word springs to mind....... Bloodylovely
Thanks 🙏
Gorgeous shoes. Just amazing to watch video.
This is what I want to do I have a pair of brown Park Avenues,, the brown is just so drab. Your a craftsman artistic with an ability to teach others.
Thank you Ray!
Eres el Duro en Esto....the best in all you do ..
