Allen Edmonds McAllisters Strip & Patina / 2 yr Review

In this video I do a brief review of my Allen Edmonds McAllister wingtip Oxfords that I purchased in September of 2017. The majority of the video is spent stripping the wax and finish off of the shoes to re-color them darker, and add a burnishing/patina back on. Both are done with Fiebings alcohol leather dye. The existing toe burnishing was done with dark wax, and is very delicate, as whenever I bump my toe against something it gets scraped off leaving a light streak.
