This video shows how to repair a severe scuff/gouge on a full grain leather shoe. I show how to re-shape the damaged area by sanding, then discuss 3 major ways to re-color the damaged area, and show how to re-color the sanded area with shoe polish.
Other videos I refer to or relavant videos:
"Repairing gouged/cut leather Florsheims"
"Mezlan Linea crack repair by sanding"
"Repairing Cracked Leather Polo Shoes"
"Restoring terribly salt stained J&Ms with Patina"
(warning: it's an older video so the production quality is not very good)
"Leather Talk with Phil from Horween/Ashland Leather - Part 1"
Although the video is about belts, this one has a good illustration of Corrected Grain vs Full Grain leather:
"High vs Low Quality Belts & How to get 'em cheap!"
