How to clean your combat boots?

 

Before polishing your combat boots, it is essential to clean them thoroughly. Indeed, proper cleaning helps prepare the next step well. First, use a soft cloth to quickly dust the shoe. Then, using a brush with fairly stiff bristles, clean them with a little warm water to remove any remaining dirt residue.

For polishing, use an appropriate wax to apply with a brush (different from the one for cleaning). Let them dry naturally before proceeding to buffing with a cloth or pantyhose until you achieve uniform shine while having removed the excess leather.

Some tips for maintaining your combat boots or tactical shoes...

 

- Before polishing your combat boots, you can apply a moisturizing cream to deeply nourish the leather,
- Wait for the shoe to dry before polishing it,
- Polish the tactical shoes with appropriate polish,
- Never dry combat boots in the sun or with a hair dryer to avoid cracking the leather,
- Apply a "water-stop" product if you use your boots in particularly wet terrain,
- Finally, prioritize daily cleaning!

You can also opt for a cleaning kit specially designed for combat boots that will make maintaining your boots easier if you're short on time!
