How Often Should I Polish My Boots?

It’s good practice to polish your boots regularly. Doing so keeps your appearance squared away and professional, and helps to extend the life of your boots. Polishing once a week would ensure a continuous sharp appearance, and you can always spot-shine as needed.

Can I put my tactical boots in the washer?

You should never put your duty boots in the washing machine, especially with suede leather. This can permanently damage the boots.

How do you get the smell out of combat boots?

There are several DIY and commercial options for deodorizing tactical boots, but a common thread is removing and cleaning the insoles with hot soapy water, as they can be a perfect medium for bacterial growth. Be sure to let the insoles dry completely before replacing them. You may have heard that putting your boots in the freezer will do the trick, but not that that will prevent bacteria from growing, but bacteria will likely survive and odors could return once you’ve thawed your boots. There are also ‘odor eater’ powders and sprays that can help reduce odor in boots. Wearing Blauer socks can also help as they are treated for resistance to odor causing bacteria.
