[KRAZY KEV]

if they are made of leather then there is only one way to look after them correctly. the only problem is they will shine. you need a few items but they are not expensive. 1/ 2 pairs of brushes one to apply polish and the other to take it off. 2/ a tin of dubbin either clear or the same colour as the leather. 3/ a tin of KIWI boot polish. there is also a military version of this polish. 4/ some old soft cotton clothes. you will also need plenty of elbow grease as to do the job correctly is no 2 minute job. to do the job follow the rules below
1/ remove loose dirt and mud and allow boot to dry
2/ apply dubbin and rub in well
3/ apply kiwi polish and rub well in. allow to soak in overnight then buff to a shine the following morning.
4/ finally buff to a nice shine with the cloth
if you know a soldier than ask him for advice. they polish their boots every day of their lives unless they want the boots firmly planted up their rear end
