Spitshined Corcoran jump boots

[TheFenderfan33]

Can you PM me what method you used to shine these? I just got a pair and want mine to look like that.

[grate81]

Where did you get those? I can't find them anywhere....

[laaflorence]

Yep, spit shine is for  toe and heel only. If you try that on the rest of the boot it will flack and crack.

[likawildcougar]

those are the shiniest boots ive ever seen

[jamxtube]

Absolutely beautiful !!! Now where's the how to video?!

[unrealfmx888]

I wish air force didnt phase out their BDU's, i wouldve worn PJ boots like those with them! plus i hate wearing low quarters cuz with those boots i wouldnt have to shine the entire boot, unlike low quarters which gotta be reflective shine like that =\

beeyutiful

I still have my old Corcorans (1 pair of the Classics, and 1 pair of the II's -- much easier to break in!), but I'm sure happy I no longer have to mess with them all the time! 

The TX ANG unit I retired from allowed us to wear roper-style boots with our Class A and B uniforms (I had the Justin kipskins), and they took a very nice shine as well and were nice and warm in the winter. They looked like low quarters until you raised your trouser legs.

NICE JOB MAN!!! I cant do that to my Brown Jump boots as someone I bought them from had put a lighter too close to the Toe Cap.....I have to take them to a shoe repair place and see if they can fix it....BUT it sure as hell does a nice job for shine...just not a mirror shine.

[calgarymn]

beautiful boots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ner3er]

i maintain my shine through action and still pass inspection... beat that bitchez

[puffpowderchowder]

good boots

[LateNightCable]

Nice job, but the toe and heel have more shine than the rest of the boot. A little odd.

[cof44]

@LateNightCable , I had problems with adding polish to rest of the boot, because layer of polish is cracking and flaking when I wear the boots.

[chocoholicforbooze]

That's the way it's supposed to be.

[pdonket]

@LateNightCable

I feel like that's relatively common, the places that bend the least on the boot or shoe are more easily shined into a mirror. The same thing happens on my service dress shoes for the air force

[ComradeRook]

@LateNightCable

Its actually not, not in the military anyway

[fdfvdfify]

@LateNightCable No mate, that isn't weird at all. It flakes if you put it on the rest.

[LateNightCable]

@fdfvdfify I just think it's odd, because it looks uneven, which it is. I polish my entire boot, although not to such a mirror luster, so I have no problems with flaking.

[holt3138]

WOW!!! hay, what does cof stand for???

[fishman017]

Back at Ft Huachuca, we had to have that kind of shine every day. Some people never could get it right. I bought Corcorans so I could have a nice easy to maintain shine.

All I used was a base layer of Lincoln wax, and I kept up the mirror shine with a tightly woven cotton rag and a small amount of water.

Of course black boots are a thing of the past, except for the rare occasion when wearing a dress uniform. Now we have rough leather desert tan, and the art of boot polishing will soon be dead.

[serpentinear86]

yeah untill the hijacked us government moves on its own constitutionalist, then you will see a lot of patriots wearing black boots, and probly a lot of pigs wearing them also. bUt one things forsure there wont be any boot shineing going on. LIVE FREE OR DIE TRYING!!!! DEATH TO TYRANNY!!!

[gaara62]

In Our ROTC they teach it like its an art form. It might be the same in others

[Arizonasnipe]

@fishman017 You were in Ft Huachuca?

[fishman017]

@Arizonasnipe yeah, in 2004.

[rockergod789]

@fishman017 the rough out boots provide better camouflage than black boots. however, a pair of spit shined boots would look so much better on garrison duty.

[LUGGEDTHUG]

Ex Army, Corc's are the best!

[ssgtpa]

Waiting for your video of you wearing the Corcoran boots - Please.

[cof44]

I love classic jump boots because of their flat halfsoles!

If you want to your boots look more aggressive with tread soles, it's not a problem to resole boots...

PS - my girlfriend wears corcs :o)

[180Patrick360]

lol!

[180Patrick360]

I'm replying to your other comment which was deleted.

I'd be glad to learn your method, but you need to show me that it's actually preferable to this one. Because this method seems to get fabulous results.

[180Patrick360]

Please make a video about how you spitshined them! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!

:)

...please?

[cof44]

When I'll have some free time, I'll try to make a vid.

Cheers

[180Patrick360]

THANKS! :)

[sudetczyk]

niezle pastujesz

[cof44]

dzięki

[kandem360]

excellent job...kiwi all the way....nothin but.

[ssgtpa]

Still watching this video. Can't wait to see you wearing these bad boys.

[darkwizard1235]

awesome work with the polishing, I use wonder balsam to polish my boots, what do you use?

[cof44]

thx. I use normal KIWI polish :o)

[silverlechon]

love them

my old and still hated

DS WILL FREEKING DIE !!!

[ssgtpa]

I appreciate that you did the whole boot. I spent years in the US Army and saw many a soldier try to get away with a quick wipe on the toe and heal - You put them all to shame.

[ssgtpa]

You have every right to be proud of the work you did on those boots - Would love to see them laced-up on your feet.

[applesforsnapples]

Yep, those boots are beautiful.

[ivanhowe]

Any soldier would be proud to wear such boots. They are a work of love.
