My dad was a marine in WW2 and he would shine his shoes every evening. A man just had to wear pristine shoes. He died nearly 50 years ago but I still have his shoe shine kit and use his brush every time I shine mine. I learned a few extra pointers here. Thanks. It’s really satisfying to make your shoes look good! That shoe shine kit of his is a precious reminder of him for me.
This guy cleaning his Dad's shoes passionately is a well brought up young man unlike you who is bad mannered enough not to appreciate a well brought up person, it says much about your upbringing, probably a dead beat dad.
👍😍I am a woman and for some strange reason love shining shoes, especially doing it for people I love and care about. I love seeing shoes restored and taken care of. Doing so is a type of meditation. I have an appreciation for the effort and work that goes into taking care of and restoring shoes. I just can’t explain why I love this. Thank you for posting this video. 🤗💞🤗
Hubert Cumberdale In an age when cool is hot and hot is cool, does that statement imply great admiration for a man who is practical and pragmatic ? A man who goes to the shoeshine boy and after getting his job done, tosses a dollar to him, nonchalantly ?
Beautiful work. Your video brought back some fine memories. My dad shined shoes as a boy starting in the early 40’s and passed the knowledge along to me when I was about 7. I shined his and my uncles’ shoes (he had three brothers) and that made me a little money. Shoe shining skills served me well when I went into USCG boot camp in 1976. Well shined shoes were absolutely necessary to pass inspection. We were told “they start at your shoes and work up. SHINE YOUR BOOTS and SHOES!” Over the years I have spent many hours shining my shoes and boots. In the mid 80’s land early 90’s, I worked at One World Trade Center. On the concourse there was a shoe repair shop that had at least 10 shoe shining stands, each with a great shoe shiner. I recall one particularly tough meeting after which my boss said, “Let’s get our shoes shined.” The 10 minutes or so we spent getting our shoes shined was the perfect remedy for post-tough meeting. I didn’t realize I had so many wonderful memories about shining shoes. Thanks for reviving them for me and for reviving your dad’s shoes.
There's some sort of a calm feeling just from watching old stuff being renewed. Imagine how the owners would feel nostalgic upon seeing 'old' stuff looking good as though they're new.
I'm a "shoe person". I loved watching this. I bought my husband two pairs of vintage Nettleton loafers and a pair of Edmonds oxfords. I would love to have them properly restored.
This is what I love about you tube, people sharing their expertise to educate their viewers on how do many, life changing, money saving, remedies, and how to restore a good quality leather shoe like new again. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this channel! I am retired USAF from the days of mirror shine. USAF Honor Guard. I would mirror shine every day after work. My Corcoran jump boots had love. Thank you for the memories!
My dad passed away when i was 7 but some of my best memories i have are going with him to the Florsheim store when he would buy his shoes as well as him teaching me how to polish shoes. I myself will always remember buying my own first pair of Florsheim shoes and some of the exact same styles my dad had. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
My father also taught me how to shine. Little did I know that knowledge prepared me for the Marines. Definitely a skill I have not forgotten. This video was touching on a personal level for me. Thank you
Y'know, the best way to figure how good a dad someone will be... you see how they treat their parents. Great job on the shoe's young man, you're a force to be reckoned with!
Usually this type of videos calm the mind and put the emotions in the correct position in the brain so, normally watching this could help with essays, presentations and exams.
Thanks for bringing back memories of shining my dad's shoes every Sat. night before we went to church the next morning. He had worked in a shoe shop back in the early 1950's and LOVED the smells and the joy of seeing his work come to life and appreciated by the customers. He was the one who taught us the importance of shoe trees, taking your time and working the oils and polish into the leather. LOL, I just remembered how mom would holler at us when we got polish on our fingers and didn't do a good job of washing it off. Thanks for the great video and all you do.
I hope you get really successful one day. You love your work and usually people don't feel proud telling they clean shoes for a living but you are open minded about it. Love it
Work is love made visible ... Here's a lovely poem by Kahlil Gibran who was a Poet, painter, writer, philosopher, theologian, visual artist and Maronite with a side order of mysticism of the Sufis who was kinda a big deal back in the day. He lived from 1883 to 1931. "On Work" You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth. For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite. When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison? Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret. But if you in your pain call birth an affliction and the support of the flesh a curse written upon your brow, then I answer that naught but the sweat of your brow shall wash away that which is written. You have been told also that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary. And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge, And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, And all knowledge is vain save when there is work, And all work is empty save when there is love; And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God. And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit. It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit, And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching. Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "He who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil. And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet." But I say, not in sleep but in the overwakefulness of noontide, that the wind speaks not more sweetly to the giant oaks than to the least of all the blades of grass; And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving. Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine. And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.
I loved your warm gesture towards your dad. It does have an unforgettable story line. No doubt you are a nice gentleman that values relationship from the heart. Thanks for sharing....
I just stopped by for a minute to see the before and after, then stayed for the whole video. There's something mesmerizing about seeing good leather come back to life.
This makes me think of my father, he always kept shoe shining products & kept his shoes shined. I also remember ironing his shirts for him sometimes when we would go to church (he was a pastor). Even though I didn't need to know how to tie a neck tie because I was a young girl, I learned how to tie a neck tie watching him tie his. These are things men did when I was growing up, it's a lost art. I miss my father very much.
Reminds me of shinning my dress shoes while in the military. One took great pride in doing it. Was in the drum and bugle corps, so you had to look exceptional; spit and polish.
Very nice job. The soles looked new, especially the heal. If those shoes were purchased in the 1970’s they were probably made in the USA. Fine leather and a good quality shoe.
This is a great video. I'm super-impressed how you got them back in shape. Thanks for doing that for your dad. I'm sure he's super happy that they came back to life!
It's 1am in the morning and RUclips algorithms think I'll be interested in shoe shining. 4 video's and 40 minutes in I find out I'm fascinated......SUBSCRIBED!!!
Any thing or work which is done passionately, skillfully gives a satisfactory result and that can be seen and loved by everyone ... Even if it is shoe polishing... !
This brought back memories of my father polishing his work shoes when he was off from work on Saturdays. He’d get out a few pieces of newspaper, set up his supplies and go to work on those things. That back and forth motion is what really brings it back. I can almost smell the kiwi polish from here!
Your dad is going to br delighted you brought memories of my dad who polished my shoes all through jr school. He was so passionate about his shoes & his suits.
Growing up I usually polished my dad's shoes everyday before he goes to work. That experience has landed me into a job as a prestige shoe shine expert with one of the best Shoes & Bag Repairs company in Dubai.
This has giving me hope to having beautiful shoes. I buy my shoes from charity shops and thrift outlets due to having no money. Once am able to buy all the creams and polish al look like a proper gentleman walking down the street
Your dad will be pleased with your work and quietly proud. I can almost hear the shoes sigh a relief when your hands caressed them. It's like the shoes were going to spa for a relaxing massage. Well done. Always feel very good from seeing your videos.
Back in the early 2000s we still had the black leather combat boots in the Army. I had never shined boots, shoes or anything g before. Within a year my boots were like glass. I got comments from Sgt. Majors on how well my uniform and boots were so crisp and clean. Now I wear work boots for my job. I miss shinning my boots and getting great comments. Great video sir, brought back great memories.
Should’ve shown giving em to your dad! Beautiful work. Any tips for suede/polished leather shoes? Like combo? I have 2 pair that have both shiny leather and suede.
Oh I’ve seen it I just thought there could be good tips for avoiding/protecting suede while treating normal leather and avoiding/protecting normal leather while treating suede. Maybe masking etc or order of operations. But thanks!

Because of you, Cobbler Bob and Kirby A, I started buying old shoes on eBay and restore them. I have now a nice quality shoe collection and am busy throwing away the cheap stuff! Thanks for your inspiration
I am a 16 years old girl watching a guy clean and restore shoes and I want to go and ask my dad if he has some shoes for me to clean and restore I don't know what I am doing with my life but I have no regrets Sorry for the crappy English but I am dutch so like not that good at this Edit thank you all for the likes because I never had this many likes I think I definitely can't remember getting more then this 😂

i came here by mistake you know i love it when people take there trade to the next level i have allways been like that and to see someone with utmost pride in what they do gives me satisfaction especially if its for your Dad,Keep the good work going
This was therapeutic for me. My first big job I purchased Florsheims for my Dad, that was years ago. He passed away on September 4th. Brought back great memories. Thank you.

"On Work"
You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons,
and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?
Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret.

You have been told also that life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary.
And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge,
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work,
And all work is empty save when there is love;
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God.
And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart,
even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection,

It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy,
even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your own spirit,
And to know that all the blessed dead
are standing about you and watching.
Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "He who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil.
And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet."

And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving.
Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man's ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

As people age, their feet widen. Sometimes shoes that you wore in your 40s are too narrow to wear in your 60s. Hopefully, they fit.
It's just satisfying to watch. It's a crime you don't have more subscribers.
It's a crime this video had 8 thumbs down!!!! Where do these people come from? The land of negativity???

I just found this channel and I'm hooked. Just subd with notifications. Great channel.
Preston, what a good son. Your kindness comes through as you talk. Really enjoy your artistry and skill. I am recommending your channel to my family and friends!
Because of you, Cobbler Bob and Kirby A, I started buying old shoes on eBay and restore them. I have now a nice quality shoe collection and am busy throwing away the cheap stuff! Thanks for your inspiration
I am a 16 years old girl watching a guy clean and restore shoes and I want to go and ask my dad if he has some shoes for me to clean and restore
I don't know what I am doing with my life but I have no regrets
Sorry for the crappy English but I am dutch so like not that good at this
Edit thank you all for the likes because I never had this many likes I think
I definitely can't remember getting more then this 😂
Your English is better than most of my English speaking friends, so don't worry about it
@Bond James Bond thanks
That really means a lot to me
Your English is good!
@Bond James Bond wel I learn mostly from video's online and movies but I do really think that the whole world should teach young children better English so that we can all communicate better in the future 😊👍
Life is so short. Enjoy it explore the nature and God. God bless you. You are born for a purpose . God doesn't produce useless things. My english is weaker than you just want to convey my message to you.God bless you.

Stayed up all night watching RUclips. It’s 6 am and this is where I ended up
I’ve watched this particular episode multiple times. It still remains my favorite.
OUTSTANDING JOB!!! I don't know what it is about a beautiful pair of dress shoes...
You should link the products and make a video on how to use the products
12:35 A.M. And this is where I find myself, and I watched every minute of it.....
11:49p for now
I wish I had a dad I would be cleaning his shoes right now.

Holy shit I never ever would have thought acetone could be used on leather without ruining it
Try it on your helmet.
Brushes off all the dust and makes an immediate difference.
This was therapeutic for me. My first big job I purchased Florsheims for my Dad, that was years ago. He passed away on September 4th. Brought back great memories. Thank you.
Wow! That’s awesome!
Dad Is blessed with so obedient sun and beautiful soul....😍😍😍
