Shoe care treatments

To properly and long-lastingly use footwear, regular cleaning and maintenance of shoes is a very important issue. Numerous shoe waterproofing sprays and shoe polishes serve this purpose. By using these products, our footwear will look neat, and we will also extend their lifespan. Using shoe waterproofing sprays will significantly improve waterproof properties, which will ultimately enhance the comfort of use. This is especially important in the winter season when our shoes are in daily contact with low temperatures, moisture, snow, ice, or salt. Effective and proven waterproofing products can of course be found on our website MILITARY.  

In our store's offer, we have a wide range of products from the Nikwax brand, which specializes in shoe waterproofing sprays. The company Nikwax, literally meaning Nick's wax, was founded by Nick Brown in 1997. Due to the unsatisfactory effects of the products available at that time, this man developed his own formula, which revolutionized the market, eventually becoming the industry leader.  

A particular feature appreciated by users after applying products with the Nikwax logo is maintaining a compromise between waterproofness and breathability of the waterproofed shoes. This manufacturer has introduced shoe waterproofing sprays tailored to different materials from which our footwear is made.

In the offer, we will find waterproofing spray for nubuck or suede shoes as well as waterproofing spray for shoes made of fabric or leather. Importantly, these waterproofing sprays can be used for shoes with membranes such as Gore-Tex® or SympaTex®. For full-grain leather shoes, a waterproofing wax will work perfectly, giving the shoes hydrophobic properties while refreshing the color and reducing scuff and scratch marks.

A universal waterproofing spray for suede, fabric, or nubuck shoes (also equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane) will be a product from the Granger's brand. This efficient product is applied using an atomizer. Importantly, it is 100% ecological.

For fans of traditional shoe polish, we offer a product from the Mil-Tec brand, dedicated to full-grain leather shoes. By using shoe polishes, we will refresh the appearance of our footwear and effectively protect it from dirt and stains. Besides black, colorless and navy blue shoe polishes are also popular among users.

An alternative to black or navy blue shoe polish will be leather grease from the Magnum company. This preparation softens and protects the leather from water absorption and also prevents excessive drying of the shoe surface.  

In the MILITARY offer, you will also find shoe cleaning kits, which include the following elements: 

• shoe cleaning brush,
• brush for applying and spreading polish,
• black shoe polish,
• colorless shoe polish,
• polishing cloth,
• carrying pouch.

Before starting waterproofing, you should clean your shoes from dust, mud, snow, etc. Remember the sole too - a cleaned one won't dirty us if we accidentally grab it. It's also worth removing the laces and insoles so that you can reach every spot. Waterproofing should be done outdoors or in a ventilated room.
