Well, i dont have those
What are the products used in this video? Would like to try them!
use a heat gun on low to heat and melt the wax on the toe…and use a stretched panty hose to buff the toe as well
When I was little my dad always polished his shoes this way every Sunday evening and I loved watching him. Of course he taught me how to do it and I still do it to this day. Excellent video.
Or you could skip the first four steps, brush the shoes, put some kiwi shoe polish then brush. Done deal.
what shoe polish should i buy for oxblood shoes, i can’t find a any red shoe polish in Australia
It must be something I unconsciously picked up during my military days, but I have never had trouble with polish cracking when I have spit shined an entire boot or shoe. And I have never been able to figure out how it happens, but it works. Spray shine had some popularity; alI I will say about is is; stay away from spray shine no matter what. Using any spray product, including hair spray, will only result on disaster.
This is an amazing way to polish your shoes. I used it to start polishing my cadet shoes and the first shine was amazing i did this once and after about only 1 week of doing a normal way I can now see my own reflection in the polish and I get no complaints from higher ranking NCOS or staff. Great Advice
whats your thoughts on corframs… I mean "coro-sham" shoes? I use to spit shine my shoes forever and a day in years gone by, but I have my "plastic" shoes now and wouldn’t go back. However, I did notice they do fall apart after a few years.
Now I know why that soldier was such a short-tempered prick when I teased he missed a spot on his PERFECTLY shined shoes…still, it’s an over-reaction in my book.

Brings back the memory from the boot camp.
Spent so much time waxing boots and dress uniform shoes, my elbow started "creaking" nearing the graduation. XD
I remember our being yelled for not polishing the tongue of the dress shoes.
We used more a primitive way of waxing our shoes in the bootcamp:
1.Brush time multiple times
2.Spit shine with a regular wax
3.Fold the new shoes or wear them to break in and remove the residue with the horse hair brush.
4.Spit shine some more.
5.Use "Parade Gloss" wax ahead of important inspections and graduation.
It takes a lot more time shining shoes this way with no help of cream and a leather conditioner.
By the way if you want to separate yourself from average shoe shiners, don’t forget to do edge dressing once in awhile.
who has this kind of time. 20 min a week?
I love this video but legit question, do you wash and or rinse your creme polish brush? I ask because after using a cognac cream polish, the bristles got hard after awhile. The brand of creme polish I used was called Ralyn
Lmk what you think Antonio
Or anyone else commenting on this video.
Can you do a review on tasselmate TASSELMATE – THE NEW & ONLY WAY TO FIX YOUR TASSELS, I found this at the shoe Snob, I don’t wear tassels on my shoes because they lose there shape.
Cut it out with that shit music. Good vid otherwise
Great video, but if I may make a suggestion: use a second shoe brush or else you’ll be re applying the dirt to the shoe all over again.
Beautiful
Just getting back into your vids Antonio! Great job as always! Keep up the fine work sir.
I condition my new shoes for seven days with coconut oil. One of my orderlies taught me to condition the leather this way when I was in the Indian Army. Works wonders and fortifies the leather. Spit shining shoes after treating them with coconut oil leaves them gleaming for long and polishing is much easier.
THANK YOU! I work at a very prestigious country club in the locker-room/ Valet department and I’m required to shoe shine members boots/dress shoes when requested this vid helped out a lot to up my game and I have impressed some of our members just by watching the vid and learning, thanks again man!
Before this demo, I upped to see my shoes in the dustbin at the backyard of my home, There will always be a period of before watching you and after watching you! You had added a real extra dimension to a world of, somehow thought to be forgotten or neglected, Real Men!
Every time I try to mirror shine, the wax/water just strip all polished layers beneath it. It’s quite frustrating, any tips to help prevent that?
well done! thanks !
So many brush and items
do you apply the saddle soap to the entire shoe or just the front, it wasn’t quite clear,,, thank you
One thing I did learn at NTC San Diego was how to shine shoes. Thank you for your service Marine.
Nice video. Finding the right cloth is at least 50% of the battle. In my 20+ years shining boots and shoes, I find that a well-worn cotton t-shirt is the Holy Grail of shine cloths, but they’re not easy to come by. Whatever you find, it should be completely soft, smooth (e.g. no pile, or "fuzzies"), and lint-free. Think 30-year-old REO Speedwagon t-shirt. A mediocre cloth will always defeat even the most perfect technique, so I suggest placing at least as much emphasis on finding the right tools for the job.
the dub music, the video being 4:20… i think hes trying to tell us something
is it ok to use plastic bristle shoe brush?
When should i polish my shoes if I wear them at least 2 times a week? And if I condition my shoes do i have to polish them?
Again good as its a quick version.
Is the purpose of the video to show off your musical preferences or to show how to polish shoes? Since the music goes through the entire video it must be the former and not the latter. I turned down the music and then couldn’t hear how to polish shoes so I went on to Kirby Allison’s wonderful videos on shoe polishing.
“Joe Pesci disliked this video.”
Antonio, wax special for shoes or can I use the usual?
how long did it take you to get the mirror shine? And yes I know this was uploaded a few years ago
Thanks Antono! really great video. I will do all this work myself to get the shoes in great condition
Honor Guard by Kiwi. Good to go, and your on your way in 10 minutes.
At first step, are u using horsehair brush for dust removing?
Great video Antonio!
Really a great description of this process, Antonio. I remember slaving over my dress shoes at Pensacola NAS as an aviation officer candidate years ago under the tutelage – and review – of our Marine Corps drill instructors. I seem to remember also holding a small flame to the toebox when applying extra coats of wax to enhance the finish. Is that still done or was it an old Marine’s tale?
Damn hella work. Ill jus go buy some new shoes instead.
I noticed the cream and wax polish are dark. Does it come in a lighter color for brown shoes?
hidi me
What if i use my shoes daily
I cant even control when polishing my shoes. Always a clear and clean mirror shine. But it cracks every single time
I really enjoyed the background music. This is something i need to do alot more often. Ive been a bad shoe/boot owner for many years and am excited to practiceb better shoe care.
Use to polish my boots zzz
Every time that I spit polish my shoes
1. Clean with a good boot polish
2. Use a soft cloth, one finger, a good swipe of boot polish onto it and apply in a small circular motion.
It may sound disgusting, but use spit (just make sure that it’s clean).
End result, beautiful spit polished shoes. I’ve been doing it this way for approx 40 years.
Good Lord, that’s what I call a mirror shine toe.
Nice video, thank you!
