Hello everyone, this is Ernie, stopping by to say thank you for all of your support. I will be posting new videos soon. For now you are all welcome to like my Facebook page. For those of you that have questions I will be able to respond at a more convenient time. Look up Ernie's Shoe Shine Parlor. Once again I appreciate y'all's support! Thank you, Ernie.
Me. Ernie, you bring great beautiful memories of a time when there was a shoe repair/shine shop on every two blocks in San Antonio Texas on the Westside. My dad was a shoe cobbler when he was s young man and then got drafted into the US Army in 1941, and became infantry during WW II. He was a Mexican immigrant without citizenship, but still went to the Pacific war theatre and fought the Japanese in the Philippines as a proud Mexican National. He eared s Bronze Star and was naturalized a proud American after his discharge. He was proud to have started his adult life as a shoe cobbler. Thanks for your expertise Mr.Ernie. Love your videos. You are awesome.
Ernie you are a true artist sir. IMO Shoes hining and Barbering are two arts that will be lost soon if this new generation does not learn from men like you and take up the torch. Thanks Again and God Bless.
I love watching Ernie work his magic! I don't even own a pair of boots or shoes worth shining. But I will someday, and hopefully I can visit Texas and pay Ernie to do this in person.
Wow! I guess I'm old fashioned, but I love watching a craftsman do a job he's mastered over thousands of hours. Ernie is way more than a "shine guy!" Keep up the great work sir!
@@ErniesShoeShineParlor you do ostrich boots the exact same way I do my ostrich boots I have 2 pairs 1 is full quill and the other I just bought are ostrich leg boots
Mr Cantu you are a true Gentleman. Your work is a piece of art. You truly have achieved a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
Thanks for doing a great job on the 5 pairs I took you today. I’ve told many people from Lubbock how great of a job you do. Not to mention the great stories you have to tell. Keep up the good work Mr Ernie
Just got off the phone with Mr. Ernie and I want to thank him for taking his time to answer my questions. He was very polite and took his time to talk to me. Keep on posting videos . Saludos from Corpus Christi..
I dont personally like a polish shine on my dress shoes or my boots....but I would sure feel privileged to have this man take care of my footwear. I love a tradesman, and this guy is exactly that. My wife and I raised our twin sons to work hard in life. We aren’t opposed to higher education, as my wife is a licensed teacher and I have an engineering background, but we all work in our home renovations business now. We are all hands on skilled tradesman that take pride in what we do. I wish so badly that the apprenticeships of long ago were still a part of raising our young ones. Instead of simply paying for school, these young ones should be paying to have someone like this gentleman to take them under his wing and teach them the value of work...of skill...and of pride.
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Amazing technique Mr. Ernie. The spraying of the water is a cleaner version of a spit shine! Love it! Love the military style too! You take lots of pride in your work and rightfully so. Thank you for an amazing educational experience/video.
This guy is one of the best in the world. I use my hands to apply lotion and even the polish, just like him. Wonderful personality. God bless him. Thanks for a great video.
Hi Ernie, I'm about 2 1/2yrs late but I stumbled upon your video. I enjoy watching shoe/boot shining and I must say sir...your video is up there with the great ASMR videos!!! Very well explained and you are very thorough on everything you do! You are obviously proud of what you do and there needs to be more folks like you!! I think I just might watch this one twice it's so good!! Thank you for all you do!!
Excellent video. I clean shoes an resell on eBay, and I learned something from this video. Ernie, you are a seasoned professional and it shows. My highest respect to you.
Man, I'm glad I found this video because I live in Abilene (actually Tuscola) and hit up San Angelo every now and then, and am for sure going to look this place up in the near future. I'm very impressed.
I have noticed that with most of the boot shining videos i have seen on you tube i rarely see anyone shining the upper parts of the boot, I can understand those parts usually will be hidden with jeans/long pants but what about us who like to stick our jeans in the boots ?
Good point. The shafts have all those cool colors and designs.These cowboy boots are awesome! I want a pair! I'm thinking Tony Lama wing tip or a black pair with the metal toe taps.
Genuine ostrich 3 payments New boot goofin Great video really relaxing to watch you work. I love watching shoe shining videos and this is one of my favourite. Keep up the good work!
Ernie is in the barber shop across from the North Star Mall on Rector Street. He made an old pair of Red Wings I have look brand new. He knows his businesx.

It truly is an art, shoeshining, especially when a master does it, more to it than just buying a fancy brush and polish. I too wonder what material Mr Ernie Cantu is using for the rags.

I might be wrong but it seems to me that there was a period, 15 or 20 years, when most people were buying cheaper shoes and changing them frequently, one almost didn't see a shoeshine stand, whereas now high quality shoes seem to be back in style and as they need proper care, shoeshining is back. It's either that or it's just me getting older and spending more on an average pair.
YOU SEE A LOT OF THESE SHOE SHINE VIDEOS AND WHOEVER POSTS IT SAYS "IT'S THE BEST SHOE SHINE IN THE WORLD"...NONE OF THEM CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO ERNIE...!!!
Watch this video with a nice bottle of tequila and take a shot whenever Ernie says, "Real good". Ten minutes and you will be feeling real good, too. Great guy.
Great video and amazing work! Looking forward to more video. Can you tell me what type of material you make your shine cloths out of thanks bro have a blessed week.
I like to see a man take pride in his work great job

Saludos from Corpus Christi
Ernie, you have a gift. It's awesome to see you transform these boots into a work of art. Great videos!
Matt Cook thanks
Ernie, we need lots more of this and you. Thanks.
I don’t appreciate rude comments,l do this to help people shine their own
Ernie's Shoe Shine Parlor Please ignore them. People who criticize creative people are often frustrated with their lack of creativity.
Don't let them get you down brother, big love to you and yours.

Top notch shine on those boots that were covered in dirt. Nice.
Wow! I guess I'm old fashioned, but I love watching a craftsman do a job he's mastered over thousands of hours. Ernie is way more than a "shine guy!"

Ernie's soothing voice, methodical shine and attention to detail makes a great video....and so relaxing. Great job Ernie!
All I can say Ernie is those Ostrich Boots look like Mirrors!! Thanks Ernie for keeping a dying art ALIVE and Well in San Angelo TX!
@Blueskies It is basically creme de la creme of shoe leathers.

San Angelo is also home to the Los Lonely Boys. Great advice and info on boot care in this video. Thanks!
Start to finish that's the best shine I've ever seen.

Real good !
It truly is an art, shoeshining, especially when a master does it, more to it than just buying a fancy brush and polish. I too wonder what material Mr Ernie Cantu is using for the rags. Retailers seem to recommend chamois but I see people using old T-shirts to the same effect.

I might be wrong but it seems to me that there was a period, 15 or 20 years, when most people were buying cheaper shoes and changing them frequently, one almost didn't see a shoeshine stand, whereas now high quality shoes seem to be back in style and as they need proper care, shoeshining is back. It's either that or it's just me getting older and spending more on an average pair.
toobalkain Womens panty hose are great for finnishing up the shine for leather boots or leather shoes...
Incredible !
You need to make more videos, please =)
Interesting to see you work!
