Very few things in life are as pleasurable as watching someone who knows their stuff expertly share their knowledge. Kirby Allison is simply a gift.

[kevdk]

as a person who loves leather and shoes and already knowing how to do this I still find it very pleasurable to watch people take care of their shoes :)

[GregoryStafford-cz]

For someone like myself that is just starting their journey on dressing to a higher standard these videos are so helpful! Also being able to watch the video then purchase the products at the same time makes things a lot easier then searching for hours for each product. I do however have a couple of questions for you. Do you use the same brush for each application or do you use separate brushes? Also do you use separate brushes for each color? How many brushes did you use for this one video?

[disturbed]

That's a very passionate man taking care of his shoe! Well done Mr.Allison😊

[dinomyte]

Love your shoe shine how-to videos, Kirby. If I may make a suggestion - you should only shine one of the shoes to really highlight the difference the Saphir products make. A side-by-side comparison of each shoe would be worth a thousand words! Thanks!

[jijrod]

....this has to be the quintessential shoeshine does not get any better than this...….thank you.

[chrisholt]

I know I’m late to the party but I love cleansing and maintaining my shoes and boots. Thank you for all the fantastic information, much obliged to you.

[aaronholmes]

I've been using Saphir products for a few years now and the dubbin and Renovateur are imperative to footwear maintenance.

[Benjimikey]

I followed this to the letter on my 7 yr old Jeffery west shoes here in the uk and when I first did the renomat I thought I had ruined my burgundy Jeffery West shoes. But I followed your advise and used the Saphir products you mentioned in this video and my God the shoes are now gorgeously waxed and nourished like they are new. Thank you so much for your wisdom and guidance in shoe maintenance and care

[onenessbaycity]

Thanks for your video. I just received my first pair of Allen Edmonds! I ordered all my waxes from your website and the help rep was great!

[stevenroche]

Kirby, taking the shoelaces off and cleaning, conditioning, and polishing the tongue is a great idea.

[polanialmoni]

When polishing the wax, for a shiny look as possible, should I use a brush or a cloth, or maybe even saphire polishing glove?
Should I use water or not?

What about using a blow drier?

Thanks

Hello! I am just entering into the world of bespoke shoe purchasing and consequently, bespoke shoe care. I'd like to buy all the essential products for proper maintenance, and I'm wondering if most folks feel the smaller shoe brushes are useful or an unnecessary extra. Also, asking because once I acquire all of the essential pieces, I'd like to have a custom shoe shine/ storage box made. Thanks in advance!!!

[bartell]

Do you need a different brush for each color of polish to buff out the shoe?

[chickamagalur]

I just love it when someone takes special care of their shoes. Love
Taking care of my shoes. Nice video. Beautiful shoes by the way!

[Tanax]

Do you use different brushes between the different waxes/polishes/etc that you apply? Or do you use the same brush? Does the brush itself need cleaning? Thanks for an excellent video!

[vitalyprokopchuk]

Good day sir. I love your videos, and have gained a lot of knowledge. I recently obtained very light colored calf leather shoes. I take care of my shoes well, however have very limited knowledge on what shoe care products to use in order not to darken the leather. Your help would be greatly appreciated, and maybe making a video on the topic would be very helpful. Thanks again for the great and educational videos.

[robertfiorentino]

Hi Kirby, is there a way to clean the dauber or chamois used to apply the wax? Same question for the horsehair buffing brushes? Thanks so much!!

[LongLe-xfuf]

Love your video, it helped me with a lot of polishing. Can you tell me what kind of cream color are you using in this video? I like this color

[nicholaszarra]

I’ve have a couple of horsehair brushes that I’ve used for years. They still work well. Do you have any suggestions for cleaning or maintenance of brushes or should I think about buying new ones? Thanks.
