This video features a pair of beat up Allen Edmonds Carlyle plain toe Oxfords that I picked up at a thrift store. Although they looked awful, and the heels were shot, the leather uppers are not torn or cracked. I replaced the worn out heel top lfits, and re-finished the edges of the heels and soles. I then stripped the shoes down with Saphir Renomat and then acetone. I applied a custom Patina with Fiebings alcohol leather dye, followed by Saphir Renovateur mink oil based conditioner. I then polished the uppers with Saphir Medaille D'Or medium brown and light brown cream polishes, followed by my signature mirror shine on the toes with Saphir Medaille D'Or Mirror Gloss.
