When the guy says something like, "I remember the first time I pumped a break pedal in these shoes," it was over for me. Way too much misappropriated sexual innuendo, and I kind of feel for the guy since he probably has no idea that a lot of the attention his channel gets isn't because people want to learn how to look after their cordovan.
Watch what happens if it goes in the Alden thread, people (most) will wonder what the deal is.
