Put This On, Episode 2: Shoes

[Microglia1]

the mexican shoemaker is a pretty humble guy...he doesn't openly bash chinese manufacturing like the white guy does...you just can't compare English shoes with Chinese Kenneth Coles...completely different customer base, different price points, and different materials...

This was a really great episode I learnt a lot. So interested to see more in season 2.

Loved watching this one, because Willie's is my shoe repair place, and Raul is my guy! The only thing missing was Shiny the store cat.

Looking forward to Raul's new venture, Don Ville Shoes - ready-to-wear and bespoke shoes.

Decent video on the whole--nice job. I'm not sure that wax polishes are such a bad thing, though: they're composed of a pretty oily wax designed specifically to moisturize leather shoes. My experience is that the cream polishes are maybe a little more moist and come in far more colours, but the wax polishes produce a slightly brighter shine. In the end, I'd recommend either as a perfectly valid choice.

why the hell are you wearing a button down shirt with a tie?

[MrJahka]

@dustdust7

because he's in America and buttondown collars are acceptable as long as you're not wearing a suit?

[dustdust7]

@MrJahka

well, he actually is wearing a suit. ;)

in addition, just stop your video @ 2:58 and you will see what i mean.

[MrJahka]

@dustdust7

No. no.

A blazer and odd trousers is not a suit indeed. I stand by the statement that a button down is perfectly acceptable for an american to wear in that context.

I was so excited about the shoe-tying tip that I ran and tried it, only to find out I've always been doing it correctly. Life same. :-(

[SleptWithUrWife]

I laughed when he told me that he just changed my life.

[SGong33]

What shoe conditioner/cream polish do you use? can you use the same brushes for diffrent color leathers?

[MrFrenchbear]

"I just changed your life" and I look awfully bored about it.

[uliqed]

This guy from "Willies Shoes" seems such a nice person.

[LogicThrash]

An easier way to tie you shoes properly if you've been doing it backwards for years, is to just do the very first step backwards from how you have been, and then do the second part your normal way.

[Indy22b]

oh god! more more more!

[up0]

I agree that good pair of shoes is a good investment... rather than going for quantity, i'd go for 2 or 3 high quality shoes I can wear for many years...

[Poebbel]

You just changed my life ...

[8ullfrog]

I like Adam, but I don't like Jesse.

[erikharrison]

This really did just change my life. No foolin'

[Venport]

I feel dumb as hell but this did just change me life!

[SPINx360]

NICE! thank you.

[sharonzc]

Does this shoe-tying tip only apply to left-handed people? Because it fucked my shit up.

[turtlejoeg]

he did just change my life!

[lohumbert]

Jesse Thorn is my favorite person on the internet. So glad ep. 2 is here!

[MasterGir]

My life has been changed forever.

[Daritsz]

The greatest shoe repair store with the greatest service.

To go into that store, takes you 40 years back!

LOVE IT!

[xiaoloung]

great job

[ImprovEverywhere]

Great job Adam and Jesse!

[nfarboody]

Finally the second episode...

[LouisDTV]

yesss it's here! Great job Jesse and co.! Is there a specific reason why you guys use Vimeo?  If you posted solely on YouTube I'm pretty sure you guys would be able to get a partnership, then ad revenue and more exposure.
