I laughed when you said, "I'm not saying I'm an artist at all." Preston, you are definitely an artist! You play with colour, texture, and finish and you've got the eye and skill to achieve what you want. Go ahead and call yourself an artist, you've earned that title! Lovely job on these shoes, as usual. Always a pleasure to watch your work evolve.
Not to discredit his work but people throw around the word "artist" and "art" a lot that it has now looses it's meaning. Real artist now are in danger of losing their status and people's respect because of this. What he does is truly a skill but in no way you call that an art. Does the shoe tells us anything about society? Does the shine on the shoe evoke emotion? Does the pair of shoe he do differ than the one he did yesterday? And don't even use the argument "art is subjective". Yes art is subjective but the meaning of the word isn't.
I’m impressed how you turned naked leather shoes into these amazing shoes. I hope you come out with a shoe of your own. I’m sure it would be top notch if you did.
I understand he doesn't want to call himself an artist, but he is, and more - he's also a master of his craft, rare to be both! "Art is described as an unstructured and open-ended form of work; that expresses emotions, feelings, and vision. Craft denotes a form of work, involving the creation of physical objects, by the use of hands and brain. Art relies on artistic merit whereas craft is based on learned skills and technique." Tell me Preston isn't both of these things in this video/in general! Awesome work again, sir!
Bellissimo! Preston, I very much admire your willingness to share what you love to do with others so openly. In my opinion this is a sign of confidence in what you do. I try to be the same way at my work and the team (and myself) are much better for it. Well done! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Thumbs Up People!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
I love this...ways I love this are many but mostly, you are a true craftsman and artist-*which is being almost rediscovered these days by true artisans like yourself-I LOVE THAT! Also, you are taking shoe shining | leather care | all things to do with shoe & leather, to this level of truth in craftsmanship that is very interesting and soothing. It is straight up, super fabulous and fantastic! I learn so much from your videos and as I start to get all of my leather goods back in their best condition, I will totally support your channel by ordering products from your links. Thank you for being you man! Very very cool! Thank You!
Thank you for showing how to up my game. Have been following you for a while now. Ex girl friend stops by about once a month so I can shine her shoes that I re shaded, marbled and patina about three years ago.
Even the purple (initial colour) looks very beautiful. I would have been happy with that colour. Perhaps next shoe, I will select this beautiful light purple.
Preston, you need to do a pair, doing the uppers the way you did the outsole. You could auction them off, and give the money to an appropriate charity. I think you'd get an incredible response!!🌌
Wow! Wonderful video really enjoyed your work. I found a real treasure when I came across your website and RUclips channel. Please keep up the good work and keep those videos coming.

What is his whole name??
Pensé exactamente lo mismo: " cómo que no eres artista?!"
He says that so YOU COMMENT duh

Amazing! I didn’t even know you could get shoes in crust. Great work as usual Preston!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think that is the most important point. No one offers crust shoes for normal consumer.
@@zieh1383 I actually just bought some from J Fitzpatrick and on clearance as well.
You are an artist . Painting the soles proves it. And the results:)
Ooo-la-la Preston. The hint of green in the soles was unexpected, but genius! BRAVO!
Sir, you do not need a script. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. You are a talented man and yes, you are an artist.
Absolutely perfect. And ...yes ....you are indeed an artist.
Thank you Jonell. I appreciate your comment
If I had these shoes, I would never wear them but would put them on display for everyone to see. Great job.
The end result is fantastic! You can really see all of the love, creativity, and work you put into this pair💕
HI, PRESTON!!! Those areas absolutely gorgeous! The sole is out of hand. Artistry, indeed.
This was amazing! I want to say "excellent job" but I'm ashamed that those words are not enough to describe your artistic work.
The soles are simply amazing, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to become an art standard for patinas !
I’m impressed how you turned naked leather shoes into these amazing shoes. I hope you come out with a shoe of your own. I’m sure it would be top notch if you did.
Definitely👍
A great mastery of technicality, embellished with prolific creativity, all in an impeccable rendering.
I love the entire shoe, but the soles are the best!!! Beautiful and unique touch.
waooo man you are some kind a master in polishing the footwears
Handsome dress shoe!❤❤❤ Nice work my friend!😊❤🌻
I fall in love with the craftsmanship.
They look fabulous.
Bonitos Carlos Santos! Muito bom.. Great job!
Absolutely gorgeous
You *are* an artist.
You're an Artist.
Miracles exist and you are able to do it. Awesome job.
Another great video as usual.
Honestly I dig the purple shift. I would love to see a purple shoe
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The sole looks like a watercolour painting of a nebula
Thought the same, amazing.

exactly! The simple act of mirror shining is artistry. Let alone bringing an entire shoe to life
Bellissimo!

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Thumbs Up People!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
OMG! You are an artist 👍
The sole looks just like color case hardened steel. Very cool
For applying polish, I recommend using a nitrile/latex glove. You get the precision of your finger, without dying your finger. Best of both worlds!
That is the most beautiful outsole I have ever seen 🤩
They look amazing
Excellent finish
Great job with this video. "Carlos Santos" is one of my favorite shoe brands. They are high quality, detail driven manufacturers from Portugal.
jeeeeezzzz!! it looks it's worth a million dollars! amazing job!!!!! wow!
Wow. Good job sir
You've outdone yourself here, bravo!
You are an artist
This is fascinating. I've never seen this done before and had no idea what the process was. Thanks so much for this demonstration of your skills.
Just have to say , I finally subscribed... after having been watching your videos for quite some time. I thought I already was!
That's art. Nothing less. Wonderful work.
absolutely amazing!!!!!
This is the color I wanted
you are an artist !
WOW !!!! Really Amazing.

Yooh that's a super cool transformation 🔥💯👌
Stunning work
When the video ends I have tears in my eyes what a remarkable work he has done
Never know a leather shoe can be so beautiful.
These are really beautiful shoes, wish I had a pair just like them.
Finally.. was so eagerly waiting for this
So satisfying
Thanks for explaining mirror shine

Truly a work of art
I love how they cane out. Great job Mr. Soto
Absolutely amazing and unique working! Thanks so much!
This is AWESOME!!!!!!
You could read a phone book and put me to sleep. Your voice is so relaxing and soothing.
And you are totally right! That sole looks a million times better when fully dried!
Congrats to the winner! These look awesome! Well done!!
Beautiful video. Greetings from Ecuador.
Those came out beautifully, the soles look like the color case gardening done on old shotguns
You are the Bob Ross of Elegant foot wear art.
Preston, you need to do a pair, doing the uppers the way you did the outsole. You could auction them off, and give the money to an appropriate charity. I think you'd get an incredible response!!🌌
He truly is an artist and has been very inspirational to me
Huge fan of your work Preston!
Beautiful!
Unbelievable. Great job!!!!
W-O-W!!! Amazing.
Insane skills. No way would I wear those. Display only. Art work.
Wow this is so amazing
You are absolutely an artist for real! Art comes in many media forms. Great videos. Subscribed!
Looks great!
Im subscribed and liking basically all I see here!
Amazing work
I'd never want to wear those, Preston. They belong in a museum! It would be a shame to ruin those soles. You ARE an artist. Blows me away!🤯
Absolutely gorgeous Preston
It came out so beautiful
Espetacular!!! Isso sim é um trabalho de mestre!!! Queria eu ter um sapato desse aí, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As a beginning leatherworker, this is super super interesting. Subbed!
