How to polish work boots. For many of us, the arrival of fall means one thing: it's time to pull out those boots that have been collecting dust since last spring! Before our beloved leather boots make their way back into our everyday wardrobe, they probably need some TLC.
Regular polishing, shine, and shine are important not only for the appearance but also for the life of your boots.
While some prefer their boots to have a worn and worn look, at StinkBOSS we like to keep our boots looking crisp and clean. The steps are simple and the results will last all season. These are the steps we followed when learning how to polish, buff, and buff leather boots.
Step One
Brush dirt, mud, or dust from your leather boots. Use a damp cloth or your shoe brush for good results.
Your leather boots should be free of all excess dirt before polishing. If using a damp cloth, remember to let the boots dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step Two
Apply shoe polish to the shoe with a soft cloth or cloth. Remember, little by little you will get far! Rub the polish over the shoe in small circular motions, being careful not to stain the carpet or floor. Shoe polish stains are very difficult to remove, so we recommend using newspaper or plastic as a protective barrier.
Step Three
Use your shoe brush to remove excess polish from your shoes. This can be done with quick, short strokes in a repetitive motion. This allows the nail polish to penetrate deeper into the leather, giving you a smooth, consistent look.
Step Four
Rub the leather with a soft cloth and quick back-and-forth movements. This is the quickest and easiest way to shine your shoes for the ultimate sparkly look.

Shoe polish is cheap and easy to find at shoe stores or online. A little polishing goes a long way, so a can will last for several years.
