That’s an example of how with dedication (I was going to say love) and patience you can bring back to life fine things that have been mistreated, Can you detail which products you used? When I have to bring back to life mistreated shoes I always apply some dubbin (Grison’s Grassie Le Phoque) and leave the shoes resting a couple of days exposed to the sun.
JM: Thank you! It was a while ago I did this (the post was made for the Swedish version of Shoegazing originally), so don’t remember what specific products I used (I normally just pick something out of one of my shoe care boxes and go with that, if it’s from Saphir, Collonil, Burgol, Boot Black or something else doesn’t really matter).

You write, “A shoe from a not too big brand like AS which looks really beaten up doesn’t go for much.” I really enjoy refurbishing eBay shoes, but often have trouble knowing which brands to watch. I’ll keep this on my radar. *Are there any more brands like this that you recommend watching?
Johnatan: Oh, there are so many. But a good idea could be to check through the outsiders post I’ve made (a couple on the English version, but a lot on the Swedish page. Search for “outsiders” and you’ll find them).
Congrats!
