How to maintain your combat boots?

Ultra-resistant, comfortable and providing optimal foot protection, combat boots are the best allies of military personnel during training, long marches or missions on overseas operations. Military personnel therefore wear these shoes daily while putting them to the test (mud, snow, debris, dust...). Due to their use, their value and the image that a worn pair of combat boots can give, it is essential to maintain them to guarantee a good lifespan!
Proper maintenance of your combat boots requires 3 steps: cleaning, polishing and drying.

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.

- 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!
