 G'day, my name's Tech, this is my channel Bootlossophy and I'm going to wax these eco-vitrus 2 boots. The only problems I have to find a place to do it in because I was told by a friend recently that you can't put boots and shoes on a table because it's going to bring you bad luck. And no, you can't put them on your bed either because apparently the bad luck still applies and the bad luck is that you're going to be arguing with someone all day. As for a desk, apparently a desk is the same as a table. Go figure. So how am I going to take a video of me waxing these boots and totally destroying them or taking them up a notch by about a scale of 10? Okay, I'm going to take the risk, I'm gonna do them right here. Look, I know, I heard all of that. Look, I don't need your advice. Just leave the room and shut the door otherwise we're going to be arguing all day, all right? So what I'll be doing today is attempting to either take these up a couple of notches in coolness or potentially the other outcome is I'm going to destroy them. These are the eco-vitrus 2 Chelsea boot in a tan suede. I've already done a review of them and if you want to have a look I'll put a link up there in one of the cards. It's not a bad boot. It's not resolvable. It's a thermally injected sole. Really a pretty good boot. The only thing is I guess I bought these. I wanted this tan suede before I knew all about Goodyear Welting and since I bought these, I've got these. The RM Williams Chelsea boot in tobacco suede. So being very similar, I thought what I'd do is maybe try and wax and burnish these so they look like rough out waxed suede Chelsea boots. Let's give it a go. So the theory of what I'm going to do is I'm going to wax this suede. It's not the best suede. It's extremely short nap and almost new bucky in feel rather than suede. So it'd be interesting how the wax tamps it down. The theory of what I'm going to do is put in a couple of different shades of brown to darken the suede in the various wear points, particularly the toes and the heel and along the side and up the vamp and then wax the whole thing and then put in a thicker layer of wax along the so-called wear points which when they sort of kind of scrape off might give it a good patina. So let's see what I need. I've got a tin of good old fashion Kiwi light tan, a tin of dark tan, a tin of Kiwi's dubbing wax which I'll be using to coat the whole thing and then as a crowning glory I'm going to use this auto wax fabric wax which I use for waxing my wax jackets and canvas bags and so on and I'm going to do that around the toes and heel and maybe around the sides to give it a bit of a look for wear. So the idea behind the two tones of polish is it gives it a little bit of a burnish look and in order to do that I'm really just going to apply it with a piece of cloth but I'll also have perhaps in some places I'll use an application brush and I also have a suede brush which at the end of it I might sort of brush it along and give it a bit of a nappy look. Now I'm not going to take you through the agony of doing both boots and probably going to speed up and cut through some of what I'm going to do. So let's begin. So the first layer of wax I'm going to put on with basically a cloth on my fingers is the Kiwi dark tan and I'm going to apply it to the toes and to the heels to give it to create a sort of look of waxed flesh and a slight burnish look. So here goes nothing. I'm basically rubbing it in in circular motion making sure I get each corner and it doesn't look too patchy at least for this color. The whole idea of the burnishing I think is I'm going to make it look quite patchy but in areas where it's supposed to look a bit worn and scratched over. So I'm going to do the heel as well and what I'm trying to do is not leave a white mark anywhere where there's a seam or maybe near the joint to the sole. I'm then going to sort of work it along some of the high points and where it looks like the original dark color hasn't had a chance to rub off. Okay now I'm going to change over that was the light tan. I'm not going to change over to the dark tan and put on what looks like a darker layer where it counts before I continue with the lighter tan up the vamp. Going back to the light tan, let me just change the positioning of the cloth, back to the light tan I'm going to give it a light coating up the vamp. Next I'm going to use the dubbing wax which is basically a clear wax and a bit of a water poofa. It's quite an oily kind of wax and I'm going to give it a little bit of a tension where none of the colored waxes had got to. Okay so that's the work in progress. If you compare that to the untreated boot it's definitely darker and I think I'm going to top up some of the dark tan wax along here because it's a bit uneven and then back to the dubbing wax some of these lighter areas that need damping down. Now what I'm going to do is try and blend it in a little bit with a suede brush wax flash kind of look. It's so quite nappy so I think I could go even more with the dubbing wax to hold it down now the next step. So I have a little candle which I can melt my auto wax fabric wax in order to put it around the toe and heel area. I'm going to gently get this nice and melted and then just put it on. I'm going to try and put on light layers so they don't crack. I'm just going to rub these in this layer of wax in so it doesn't sort of stand out in thick clumps clean some of the sole edge feels nice and I think I might just put a bit more on and then I'm going to finish it off with another layer of dubbing wax and we'll call that finished on this boot. Back to the dubbing wax. I think it might be enough of that boot and I'm going to do the other side now. I'll clean it up once I've done both sides. Obviously a clear difference so let's do the other side and then we'll see what it looks like. So here's the finished product in the sun. How does that look close up? Looks nicely waxed. They probably need a little bit of brushing just to blend it in but I actually think that's not too bad it looks a bit more like waxed flesh and I can probably get away with it under a pair of jeans. So bad luck or not bad luck. I've completed my waxed flesh Echo Vitrus 2 Chelsea boots. They don't look too bad. You know they're not going to compare against Java waxed flesh but in and of itself I think I can get away with it looking like it's waxed flesh. I might let the wax dry a little bit give it a bit of a wipe and I might even put in another layer just to seal that colour in but at the moment it doesn't look too bad at all. Well thanks for joining me. It's up to you. Put down in the comments below whether you think I've absolutely destroyed these Echo Chelsea boots.
