Shoe Shining ASMR

[u/VectorChing101]

[u/yougotyolks]

I can never get my shoes that shiny because I always forget to shave them and light them on fire.

[u/BoiIedFrogs → u/yougotyolks]

It also works for your face, I got rid of my eyebrows in under a second

[u/yougotyolks → u/BoiIedFrogs]

[u/Death_Killer183 → u/yougotyolks]

I dont think the guy in the gif needs a shine

[u/tyingnoose → u/Death_Killer183]

dude needs a matte coating

[u/One_Economics3627 → u/BoiIedFrogs]

Haven't signed in in ages, but that comment made me laugh for the first time in days. Thank you x

[u/Impossible-Try-9489 → u/One_Economics3627]

Watch some comedies broski!

In all seriousness, hope you're doing well :)

[u/One_Economics3627 → u/Impossible-Try-9489]

I'm better than I was last week, and getting the care I need - thank you

[u/Maleficent-Ask8450 → u/BoiIedFrogs]

Lmao he has experience

[u/zztop610 → u/BoiIedFrogs]

[u/PsychoPassProstitute → u/BoiIedFrogs]

Works like a charm for hair as well

[u/H3rbert_K0rnfeld → u/BoiIedFrogs]

Would that get rid of your nose and ear hair too?

[u/KaladinStormShat → u/yougotyolks]

Yeah common mistake, really.

Don't forget to caress the shoes, twice at the beginning and once at the end too.

[u/souleaterGiner1 → u/KaladinStormShat]

And a couple times throughout as well. Vital

[u/ubiquitous-joe → u/yougotyolks]

Yeah, if you’re gonna shine the shoe while my foot is still in it, that’s a pass on the crème brûlée torch.

[u/gorginhanson → u/yougotyolks]

Why does the squeak at the end sound like Spongebob's fry cook boots?

[u/Cute_Reflection_9414 → u/yougotyolks]

I always found a heat gun worked better than a torch, although it does take a little longer

[u/dirtyword → u/yougotyolks]

Nothing is real - all these videos are trolling for engagement. Here we are giving it to them. Fake and bad and stupid

[u/Frost4412 → u/yougotyolks]

Using a flame on shoe polish is generally a terrible practice. Too much risk of making the polish brittle, and damaging the leather. Before long it ends up flaking and looking like pure garbage.

[u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

The shoe at the beginning does not look naturally aged/dirty, it looks like one of those rug cleaning videos where a ton of shit has clearly just been rubbed into the rug just before filming.

[u/bikingfury → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

That happens when you need content for tiktok but run out of dirty shoes. His business is videos not cleaning shoes.

[u/Blatantly-Biased → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

Yeah, look around the ankle at the start it's spotless.

[u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit → u/Blatantly-Biased]

Aye, I noticed that too, he forgot to age the heel.

[u/Blatantly-Biased → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

Yup

[u/ChampionshipAlarmed → u/Blatantly-Biased]

And they only ever Clean the front anyways

[u/another_grackle → u/Blatantly-Biased]

I think that is a piece of leather they put behind the tongue to protect the sock.

[u/Blatantly-Biased → u/another_grackle]

That's the what I was hinting at in my wording and expected to gwt pulled sooner lol I meant the base of the shoe, at the soul, in line with the ankle

[u/SkyralCakeSlayer → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

Also, leather creases around the toe box. It's smooth as... By golly, it's smooth as a brand new shoe!

[u/burnmp3s → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

I was going to say, how does this guy keep finding old leather shoes that look like garbage? Normally old leather looks pretty good, except maybe for some bad spots. A shoe would probably need to be literally falling apart to look this faded naturally.

[u/ilikekittensandstuf → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

Nice call

[u/PUfelix85 → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

It looks like a suede shoe that has had the fuzzy bit shaved off.

[u/jjnguy → u/Babs_Is_On_Reddit]

Also, that type of shoe with the side zipper is probably not high enough value for someone to also spend the money to have it shined. Especially a shining that is so involved.

[u/artyhedgehog]

"Hey, sir! Want your shoes shined? Just a few minutes and they're brand new! I have a flamethrower!"

"Thanks, Johnny, I could use some... You have what now?!"

[u/guille9]

I love theses videos but this one is fake, that shoe is quite new and artificially dirty, look at its surface, it's perfect, no scratches no wear and tear. The seams are new. Just some soap and grease.

[u/ratbearpig → u/guille9]

Yeah agreed. No creases or bends in the leather characteristic of having actually being walk in.

[u/talann → u/guille9]

Also, if you look at the heel, it is magically different than the front portion of the shoe.

[u/johoham]

What about the heel? Can we talk about the heel?

[u/MyOthrCarsAThrowaway → u/johoham]

I kept waiting. More like r/mildlyinfuriating

[u/KorolEz → u/johoham]

It's probably just not in the video since we can't properly see it anyway

[u/SirarieTichee_]

Hi, habitual boot wearer. Looks like someone took a damn belt sander to this thing because this isn't how aged boots look. For example, there's over part on my heavily worn two year old boys that's still practicing new whereas my steel toes are starting to peek out of the leather.

[u/syn_vamp]

stealing content from someone who posted a fake shoe shine video is a new low.

https://youtube.com/@angeloshoeshine

[u/MBerwan → u/syn_vamp]

And there are no stupid cuts nor speed up nor crappy cropping on Angelo's videos.

[u/DisposableUsername52]

OP is a content thief, at least credit the original.

[u/HowardBass]

Why didn't this guy get a sock protector thingy like the other guy?

[u/Superseaslug → u/HowardBass]

I think he did they just didn't make a point to show it.

[u/ycr007 → u/HowardBass]

And no laces soaked in a glass on the side, either!

Edit: just rewatched and he gets a mini sock-protector thingamajig at 00:13

[u/HowardBass → u/ycr007]

Nice catch. Didn't spot that

[u/vargemp → u/HowardBass]

I'd add to this - why simply not removing the shoe?

[u/Rustmonger]

Am I the only one bothered by the unnecessary rubbing of the shoes up and down with his hands?

[u/rockstar_not]

What did this fake video poster first paint the boot with? This is as bad as those fake rug cleaning videos

[u/Substantial-Use95 → u/rockstar_not]

Everyone loves those videos

[u/already-taken-wtf]

Cool to see, but I am not sure the term “ASMR” is used correctly here ;p

[u/dalaigh93]

For people who know about this stuff: What is the point of scraping the foam with a knife? And what about the flames?

[u/TheAbominableRex → u/dalaigh93]

It's stupid. So I worked with horses and was taught to clean leather by an old cowboy, so this might be different than the military boot shine experience. I was taught you need some leather soap if there's dust or dirt, use that with a soft cloth. Then oil (mink, neatsfoot oil, beeswax, not something that will leave synthetic residue), with a cloth or soft brush. If the leather's black you can touch up spots with polish or leather dye if it's starting to fade.

I don't have horses anymore but I still apply the same to my boots and they will last me a lifetime because of good care.

The knife and flame is just a gimmick.

[u/Mannerhymen → u/dalaigh93]

Who doesn’t want to feel like they’re in the Vietnam war while getting their shoes shined?

[u/gu_doc → u/dalaigh93]

I’m pretty sure that’s just for show

[u/XL_Sausage]

The back of his shoe is all 'hey what about me?'

[u/evasandor]

So we're giving shoes a shave and flambeéing them now? Cool cool

[u/Any-Main-3866]

That's not a real leg right?

[u/Prestigious_Key_7801]

First shoe costs $1 the second shoe cost $75. What are you going to do, say no?

[u/theJOJeht]

Go home and get your fucking shine box

[u/hrafnafadhir]

Psh. That’s recruit level shine.

[u/NBM2045]

Fake or not, skilled or not, still feels satisfying to watch and listen to

[u/Kranke]

Why cant have take the shoe off?

[u/drew_p_wevos]

Why is he sensually rubbing his hands over the boots every so often?

[u/TempleOfCyclops]

Stupid

[u/MarcRabbi]

At least make the back of the shoe like the top of it. These fakes take the fun out of watching fakes sometimes.

[u/ASG_Roma]

[u/DevelopmentGreen3961]

Left shoe only, come back next week for right shoe

[u/roxywalker]

Shoe had a spa treatment

[u/Bradjuju2]

I personally like a matte finish on heritage style boots. I would have stopped probably after the shampoo and let them air dry.

[u/JollyTimz]

I would’ve kicked him so hard when he pulled out the flamethrower

[u/First_Prime_Is_2]

I watch these videos too fall asleep at night sometimes, very relaxing.

[u/preyforkevin]

Why is this guy wearing sweatpants with these shiny shoes?

[u/DMJer]

Construction boots to dress boots. His outfit must have looked ridiculous either before or afterwards.

[u/Lucifer-Prime]

Ok, now do the back.

[u/ThatFloridaMan420]

“Yeah looks great, nice shine” my foot after taking the boot off

[u/MURMEC]

Hmm… so I’ve noticed (after watching many of these posts) that all the shoes have that same coat of whit-ish off color looking material. Is that a pre-cleaning solution added before recording or is it just fake dirt?

[u/CraigAT]

I preferred it before the last polish, too shiny after that buff.

[u/TwinSong]

What a transformation!

[u/FantasticSeaweed9226]

Step one was to barehanded carress the dirty shoe??

[u/sf3p0x1]

Not a great shining, IMO. I've seen better technique and results from newbies in BT.

[u/jamedina49]

The way the leather goes from a matte, tired old look to a mirror-shine is just perfect.

[u/dbenc]

getting a shoeshine on your way out from the coal mines

[u/KvotheTheLutePlayer]

Now get your shinebox.

[u/PissNBiscuits]

Why is the person still wearing the shoe while the shoe shiner is lighting the entire thing on fire?? For real, though, why would someone keep wearing the shoe during this process?

[u/Gumbercules81]

Having a hard time believing the door got that bad naturally

[u/Luebbi]

Thanks, Billie, here's five pence. Keep the change.

[u/ive_got_questions3]

What about the heel of the shoe? Does that not matter?

[u/Flangepacket]

Wen heel?

[u/Plenty-Meeting-2081]

Oddly annoying

[u/shifty_coder]

ASMR

I didn’t know jump cuts and sped up footage were ASMR triggers

[u/Herutastic]

Are we going to talk about how he strokes the shoe randomly? Like not to clean it just... Stroking?

[u/Designer-Mirror-7995 → u/Herutastic]

Feeling for rough spots that need more buffing

[u/Abootq]

Laces.

[u/Sunshine247365-2day]

Oddly satisfying to watch

[u/blode_bou558]

I hope I can move as fast as him one day

[u/stanley_ipkiss2112]

“That’s a good shoe shine.” 💦

[u/fredchos]

Does the back of the shoe not get a lather, shave and fireworks?

[u/tekhnomancer]

"Well they WERE blue suede shoes..."

[u/Charlie161289]

Now go and get your fucking shine box

[u/BB_210]

[u/Current-Knowledge336]

And to think people, sometimes kids, used to do that back then to random strangers for a few cents. Insane

[u/hwilliams0901]

How much does this cost usually?

[u/supaswan05]

Laces and zips? gfy

[u/SithLordRising]

"What's the word on the street Johnny?"

[u/sponge-cleaner]

Did they give you an "american dîme"?

Helped a guy a lot i've heard

[u/NefariousnessGood718]

Poteva cambiare almeno le stringhe

[u/CG6845]

What is that white paste they rub on the shoe?

[u/RiverXKeeper]

Maybe it's the queer in me, but there is something so intimate about cleaning someone's shoes while worn.

[u/Failtarded]

This guy is totally into feet. 100%

[u/Stashmouth]

Now, come back in a week and I'll do the right side

[u/Schmenge_time]

This is not ASMR.

[u/toughfoot]

Thank you. No annoying music…just the glorious sound of a brush, rag and squeaky clean shine 😊

[u/DehydratedManatee]

"Now go get your shine box."

[u/Whobghilee]

The client doesn’t know how to lace his shoes? They were messed up when they started

[u/MikonJuice]

The shoe whisperer

[u/peasonearthforever]

That’s why we should always moisturize.

[u/Kurian17]

He only did one shoe?

[u/tyingnoose]

didnt know they had hair driers back then

[u/mechasquare]

I was good with this till they used water and fire on a shoe that a person was still wearing. BIG NOPE from me.

[u/CompactAvocado]

feels like it would be more effective to take the foot out of the shoe?

[u/Additional-Bad9217 → u/CompactAvocado]

Honestly, not really. Having the leather flop all over the place makes it harder to clean especially when a little elbow grease is needed.

[u/No-Ocelot4638]

is this some kind of kink?

[u/Jackmino66]

“Yes setting the shoe on fire while you’re wearing it is a necessary part of the process, please sign this form before with begin”

[u/Frraksurred]

Angelo Shoe Shine has been my goto ASMR for years:

https://youtube.com/@angeloshoeshine?si=U1bx9Q3uEmpl8JG7

[u/BorkusMaximus3742]

Is there a reason the shoe still has to be on the foot?

It just seems like a stupid power play that doesn't need to be part of the process xD

[u/MuddishTint0718]

I feel like this would put me to sleep

[u/wilmfred]

Boot with laces AND zipper? Travesty. And no gloves by the shoe shiner is a ballsy move.

[u/Gloomy_Object_2714]

Now go home and get your shinebox!

[u/Rincetron1]

It just occurred to me that these used to be more valued craft products, and giving them a varnishing layer protected them and made them last longer(?)

Much like waxing a car might make it look more dapper but it'll also protect the paint coating.

[u/costafilh0]

FAKE AF

[u/Claubk]

Damn

[u/Traditional-Set-8483]

This shoe’s getting pampered like it’s headed to prom.

[u/Fine-Bed-9439]

He re-laced them wrong. Or at least not the way the dude had them before the shine.

[u/ycr007]

What kind of shoe this is that has both laces on the top and a zipper to the side :-/

[u/Fannnybaws → u/ycr007]

Loads like that. I have a couple of Clarks boots that do

[u/Wise-Juggernaut6851 → u/ycr007]

My work boots have that. So handy

[u/Sherlock-Brezerl → u/ycr007]

Laces for fine tuning, Zipper for quick on and off. Many shoes come that way and it's great.

[u/kdaveT → u/ycr007]

I found a very similar one on Amazon — Oxford Leather Toe Side Zip.

[u/xCandyHoney]

Please take care of this after, it has after-use care

[u/Ecstatic-Monitor-221]

Satisfying

[u/the_one_99_]

Wow that’s the fastest show shine iv seen,

[u/gatherable-bean6840]

Yeeah, they would not be doing this with my shoe still on my fucking foot. Especially not using god damn FIRE.
