Custom Marble Patina on Ace Marks Wholecut Oxfords

- In today's video we take a wrecked finish on a fairly new Ace Marks shoe and give them a complete custom makeover. I'm not entirely sure what happened to them. I think the client wanted to do their own patina and part way through stripping decided that they weren't comfortable with the project. No worries as I was happy to take on the challenge. This Marble style of patina is probably one of the most time consuming but gives a very unique finish in the end.

I hope you will enjoy it!
I just now saw this video. I can tell you that I am thrilled that MB ShoeDoc saved my shoes. They turned out better than I expected and I’ve had soo many compliments on my shoes. Awesome craftsmanship and talent! ❤️
Thanks so much man! Hoping they have held up well for you over time as well! 🙏👍
Yes, I’m glad to report, they are holding up quite nicely!
@@waya64 Love to hear that. Wear them proudly my friend!
These videos are the reason why i find buying shoes so hard. None ever look as good! I want these
Glad you like them. If you can find an inexpensive pair it can be worth hiring someone to do a patina like this to get exactly what you want.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to show us.
You are very welcome. I'm glad you liked it!
Gorgeous! I salute your craftsmanship and its explanation sir. I’m inspired
thanks very much!
Thank you for explaining the method of tying shoelaces!
No problem, glad it helped!
This is an outstanding video and presentation! Semper Fi
I'm glad you like it, thank you!
Love your videos. I always learn something new and have tried many of your techniques with good results. Thanks!
Love to hear it! Thanks mate 👊
This was a outstanding and informative video , thank you
I'm so glad it was helpful, thank you!
You definitely should be proud of how it worked out. Looked like a ton of work but the client is going to be thrilled. A nice pair of wholecut shoes there, saved!
I really appreciate it and yes I was pretty proud of this one 🙏
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks man. Bi was really happy with how these turned out.
Congratulation,vety great patina an Artistic Work,thank you so mutch a real pleasure 😍😍😍😍
I certainly appreciate your support. Glad to see you are enjoying my work.
Excellent vid
Amazing work
Thank you much!
Hey a new video!!! I'm here for the lesson as always
Thanks man! Let me know if you ever have any questions.
@@mbshoedoc you know after dying my 1st dress shoe..... I understand how time consuming this style of "marble" patina can be. I have a higher appreciation now lol
@@08Rainin08 Yes this style probably takes the longest to do but it gives a very unique look in the end.
Luckily I have a pair of Cole Haan shoes that I got from a thrift store a few yrs ago. I'm going to attempt this technique on them next
@@08Rainin08 Go for it! 💪👊
Nice work as always. You make this work look so simple, yet I know it most certainly is not👍
It is actually somewhat simple but at the same time there is certainly a learning curve. Its something that I believe anyone could do....especially if you have some artistic talent or training. I think that would translate well to this.
@@mbshoedoc that's what people who are good at things say to be polite. Im happy when I can turn out a decent mirror shine let alone the work you do. Top notch sir!
@@josephheinecke1992 I really appreciate it. I think I took to it well without any formal training but I really do believe anyone could do it. I don't think I would recommend this particular patina as your first attempt though LOL...the marble patina is a bit tougher to pull off.
Amazing
Thank you much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing!!!!
Too kind my friend, thank you.
Thank you kindly for demonstrating how you do this... BEAUTIFULLY DONE! What type of brushes are you using to stipple on the second layer of dye? I have tried a round chalk paintbrush and makeup brushes with the ends trimmed, but neither worked well...
These are e.l.f makeup brushes. The small round are eyeliner and the larger are foundation brushes. No trimming needed but you need very little dye. Shake the bottle and only use what splashes on the cap. Dip the brush onto the wet cap and even then the first dab of the brush may need to be on a cotton ball before you hit leather. You could practice on some thick paper first until you get the pattern you want. Sponges can be used too but I haven't done much with those.
@@mbshoedoc Thank you very much for your reply, very helpful. Please post more patina videos.. there is very little information out there! I appreciate you
@@djoyce777 I definitely will post more. The editing just takes a long time to do and I stopped for a while. Back at it now though.
Thew perfect pair of clown shoes!
What??
@@mbshoedoc What? Having a hard time reading in English? I wrote CLOWN SHOES aka. shoes for clowns! A clown is someone who makes people lough. Was it so hard to understand? Wearing such they won't let you off the plane in Italy, where shoes matter!
@@A.Dude. Wow, what a miserable sad person you must be. Like the shoes or don't like the shoes and move on. I can't believe you would waste your time to write all that. 🤡
@@mbshoedoc I did so to save future murder of shoes; it was a kind gesture to the shoes. If shoes could run on their own they would run away from you. I only point-out imbeciles and have only good things to say about smart people.
@@A.Dude. Move along. You can go troll somewhere else. The client was happy so I am happy. You offered no constructive criticism or anything of any value. You just jumped in here out of nowhere being really aggressive and rude. You can share your vast shoe knowledge elsewhere.
great work! ps - what is the difference between a marble patina and an antique patina?
The antiquing is just the darkening along the edges, and the toe and heel etc. These do have antiquing but the marble patina is the splotched pattern carried over the entire shoe. Its just a general term common in the industry for this style of patina. There are also streaked patinas, museum style patinas, wood grain etc etc. Its just a description for the pattern.
Where can I get the supplies to do this.excellent video thank you
Dyes are from Fiebings, Angelus, and Saphir. The acetone from Lowes or Home Depot and the brushes are e.l.f. make-up brushes from Target or Walmart. I use the eyeshadow brushes.
Very beautiful. What did the client say to this?
I think they were pretty happy with them 😁👍
Hi, seen many of your videos, subscribed as well. Your work is amazing. Super patina work, plus the mirror shine. You make it look easy. What is your contact to get work done on shoes?
Thank you for your great work.
I really appreciate it. Email me anytime at mbshoedoc@gmail.com 👍
Thank you for the prompt response. I will contact you by email.
@@ajwadshariz6187 no problem, I try to reply quickly when I can.
Amazing.... can you possibly tell the list of products used? Dye, wax and all. Thank you
Unfortunately this project was a few years ago so I really don't remember. I typically try to say what I'm using while I use it in the videos. I can tell you I use Fiebings dyes and Saphir mirrorgloss wax. Beyond that I'd have to watch the video again myself and see what I can decipher from it.
@@mbshoedoc thank you. Am thinking of doing something life this to a couple of old shoes I'm not using so was wondering what's the best to buy.
I just watched some of it and I do name each product as I go along. Fiebings buckskin mixed with light brown base, light brown marbling, then mixed fiebing mid brown with angelus dark brown for the dark burnishing. Shine with saphir mirrorgloss in neutral and light brown saphir pat de lux.
Why u mixed 2 different leather dye brand? Does it have different quality in color or overall quality?
Mixing brands is no problem. Sometimes it's just what I have on hand and sometimes I prefer a color of on brand over another. For instance the Angelus dark brown is darker and preferable to the Fiebings. The Fiebings dark brown is too close to their mid brown. But I like the Fiebings navy blue better. Things like that sometimes will require some mixing.
@@mbshoedoc nahh I was just curious maybe u have particular reason about quality or as u said color difference
Please can we have a video where you shine these further?
I don't have these shoes anymore. I fixed these up for a client. And were they not shiny enough?
@@mbshoedoc I see. They're shined but I prefer full military mirror shines is all
@@karlsmith7016 I like that too but it can be tougher to maintain on pairs without a cap toe due to cracking. Wholecuts are probably the worst. A good high shine is a bit more practical for most clients 👍
@@mbshoedoc aww sorry
What is the mirror glass
Saphir mirrorgloss wax . It's a wax polish I use.
Do you sell Carmina Colorless Wax? If so I'd like to make a purchase. Thank you.
I appreciate it but sadly I don't sell any wax or polish. You would have to get it directly from Carmina.
@@mbshoedoc no worries. I enjoy your videos, you do great work.
@@KniFe16 Glad to hear you are enjoying the content. I've thought about carrying polishes in the past but never pursued it. You may have convinced me to look into that again 👍.
@@mbshoedoc if you do I will purchase from you. Many thanks!
How much you dye a pair shoes.
I typically charge $140 for a custom patina and mirror shine.
Como pueden estar tan gastados unos zapatos que por la suela se ve que ni se han usado
Sorry YT doesn't have a translate feature and it won't let me copy and paste into Google translate. Feel free to email your questions to mbshoedoc@gmail.com
What about neutral creme polish?
Sorry what's the question? Recommended neutral cream polish brand, or do I use it? I typically use neutral conditioner like bick 4 and Saphir renovateur on patina shoes and then neutral wax like Saphir Mirrorgloss. I don't use much cream polish at all. Not sure if that answered your question. If not feel free to try again.
@@mbshoedoc My question is:
On a hand colored shoe, your statement in the video is to not use a creme because the pigments can darken the patina. However a neutral creme could be useful without the darken the color?!?
@@boltthrower3215 Yes I think neutral cream polish would be fine. I just haven't used any to confirm that it doesn't remove color which is why I stick primarily to bick 4...it's the most gentle. I expect most neutral creams would do fine the same way I use neutral wax. I would just apply lightly by hand at first.
@@mbshoedoc My idea is:
Conditioner -> neutral creme -> neutral wax (2-3 layers) -> neutral mirror shine wax ( x layers).
The brand I use is Burgol (german premium brand), they are similar to saphir.
