A few pics, shined my first pair of boots for the new job :P

Well I'm still in the military (army, military police) but since I've been in the desert/sand boots are pretty well maintenance free (don't need to be polished). So I've never really polished boots b4... Well I just picked up a new pair of black leather boots and went to town on them just got done, 5 coats of kiwi and went over each layer with damp cotton balls and buffed the heel/toes with dry cotton balls at the end. I start my new job this monday, graveyard shift, here at the sheriff's office. Which actually works well with me because I have a hard time falling asleep b4 3am... Anywho, I think they turned out pretty good for being my first polished anythings, I swear they're leather and now they look like my old class A dress shoes from the army that we would use windex on! lol. let me know what you guys think!

Wow make sure you're put in for a bronze star.

sorry. had to laugh.
I've spit shined my boots so many time, I just had to chuckle when you got excited about it.
Anyways, that's not bad for a first effort on a new pair of boots.
What I don't really see is the toe very well, and if you are serious, that should be like glass. but that takes effort over a short period of time. you won't get that in only 5 coats.

I am not a yank (whats up with you guys calling us yanks?), I never had patent leather/plastic dress shoes, I had Cocoran Jump boots that shined like chrome from me polishing them that I wore with my Class A Uniform

Whoa! Lol ha! These were plain jane leather boots! They look shiney cuz of what I did, they're no dress shoes, it's the same exact boot as my desert sand army issued boots, same company, sole, style, just black leather!
