Allen Edmonds Strand Weaves Repair & Give-Away!

This video features a beautifully unique pair of almost new Allen Edmonds Strand Weave Cap-Toe Oxfords that were donated to my channel for a give-away. The owner damaged them on his first wear out, and sent them to me after I offered to repair them the best I could. Greg, the original owner of the shoes, then came up with the idea to do a drawing and give them away, which we did. The repair process, the shine, and the recipient of the shoes is docuented here. It's interesting to note, Jake, the winner, is an Opera singer, and apparently will be able to wear his new shoes on stage!
