The most impressive thing of this video is Kirby does all of this without getting any pigment on his ungloved fingers, jacket, tie, or white shirt.
-
I find this extraordinarily arousing how this man is so profoundly caring about the finish of these shoes
-
I love this channel. If only all men could appreciate the greatness of dressing well.
-
LMAO Applause Applause!! Ok well done!! You got me sit through a 30 min Saphir infomercial.

I’m a straight woman and I love shinning shoes, I remember as a girl going to school my sister and I would spend Sunday’s shinning our shoes for school the coming week, we had our kit with all our polishes and brushes and cloths and yes it is therapeutic .....
-
Just love that dark brown leather. And as you say, shining your shoes is great therapy. Ad some Chet Baker or Miles Davis (and maybe a little something to drink) and life is not so bad after all.

Just ordered the Hanger Project shoe shine kit for father's day, just in time to receive my Allen Edmonds shoes - also for Father's Day :-) Best Father's Day Ever! Can't Wait! I haven't felt this excited for Father's Day in a long, . . . wait, make that NEVER! Thanks Kirby :-)

A shoe shinning master class, with no mess. Your knowledge and techniques are comprehensive, bravo sir
-
Kirby, I just bought some AE Leiden wingtips in walnut and followed your advice that a new pair of AE need some polish. So I ordered saphir renovateur, saphir light brown creme polish, a horse hair brush, and cotton chamois from you...oh my word, the result is amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos. I followed this video step by step, excluding the wax polish and I'll be doing this routine for all my AEs!

For a guy who mostly buys his (I now realize) crappy casual shoes at Costco, I am addicted to these shoe videos, especially Kirby Allison’s!
-
Hypnotised? I know this feeling so well, Mr. Allison. To me it is a form of meditation. A particular state of mind.
-
I work at a bootbarn and mostly wear boots, but I am considered our stores boot and boot cleaning expert. So thanks very much for new knowledge on shoe shining and helping me take my work to the next step
-
Just picked up my first pair of AE's. Bartlett's. Looking forward to conditioning and polishing them. Kirby's got a nice way of talking.
-
Thanks for this video. I’m getting my first quality pair of shoes from Crockett and Jones in a couple of weeks. The way you explain what the different polishes and stages of the process achieve, makes it very easy to learn from
-
This is THE BEST guide to correctly take care of your shoes! Thank you.
-
I am a new Allen Edmonds shoe owner, and I can say after discovering this high quality shoe and wearing them, it definitely makes one feel regal. Thank you for your video on how to make a great shoe even greater. I have subscribed to your channel
-
Just bought my first pair of Allen Edmonds. Great video by Kirby explaining the need to prep my new shoes prior to wearing them for the first time and the step-by-step instructions. I never knew that new shoes straight out of the box didn't have any polish on them. I will be buying some of the Saphir products Kirby recommends from the Hanger Project. From what I've read and researched Saphir products are the gold standard.
-
Kirby, I love how you became mesmerized as you were polishing up the caps. I've been there myself. Shining my shoes is always a zen moment for me. I think back to how my Dad taught me how to shine my shoes, to shave, to be a good husband, father and gentleman. Thanks, Kirby. Wonderful work.
-
I just love how you dress properly for this job.
