2 Allen Edmonds: From Grimy to Gleaming! (Inspect, condition, & polish)

In this video I take 2 old dingy neglected pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes, and do an 8 step process to inspect, clean, condition, polish, and spit shine them to their former glory. The point of this video is NOT a "product highlight" (I'm not here to promote certain brands over others) but rather to:
1. Educate people on what to look for (what is repairable) and what is not salvagable.
2. To show you a basic process to not just make the leather look great, but to protect it and help it last for decades.
I'm an amateur doing this for fun, and I realize there are many other ways of doing this, and I'm sure some products are better, so I hope you still are entertained and/or learn something from this.

Here are some helpful videos I refer to:
