As it seems that several members of the site are ex-military, I'm hoping I can get boot recommendation. Many years ago, I bought a pair of black leather work boots. I had them resoled several times, and they lasted me three times as long as some of the works boots other guys bought. A buddy of mine was ex-artillary and he showed me how to give them a proper polishing. Those boots used to pop! Others would laugh and say they're just going to get dirty, why bother. I'd give them a thourough cleaning/polishing about once a week. I miss that, and now it seems every hunting/work boots is nylon or some other material other than leather. Does anyone have a favourite tough, polishable, durable black boots brand? Thanks!

I love my Terra Canadian military steel toed work boots! They have a textured top grain leather finish so I doubt they would take a glossy polish but gee are they comfy and 100% water proof! They are CSA Grade 1 certified and have a Vibram sole. Just excellent boots and I use them in the bush and quad riding. They are insulated as well designed for temperate climates.

I understand the Aussies use Kangaroo leather in their military boots. Its supposed to be superior to regular leather

Dunnoo, but they do make coin purses out of Kangaroo nutsacks!

Might be hard to find now a days, but my favorite blk boots were the Canadian forces garrison work boots. they polished up mirror like, miss mine, wore them for decades.
