In order to use shoes properly and for a long time, it is very important to clean and maintain shoes regularly. A number of shoe impregnants or shoe polishes serve this purpose. Thanks to the use of these agents, our shoes will look neat, we will also extend their life. Using shoe preservatives, we will also significantly improve waterproof properties, which will ultimately translate into increased comfort of use. This is especially important in winter, when our shoes have daily contact with low temperatures, moisture, snow, ice or salt. You will, of course, find effective and proven waterproofing products on our Military.pl website.
Our store offers a wide range of products from Nikwax, a brand that specializes specifically in shoe waterproofing. Nikwax, or literally Nick's wax, was founded by Nick Brown in 1997. Due to the unsatisfactory performance of the products available at the time, the man developed his own formula, which revolutionized the market, eventually becoming the industry leader.
A special feature that users appreciate after applying products with the Nikwax logo is the compromise between waterproofing and breathability of the waterproofed shoes. This manufacturer has launched boot waterproofing products tailored to the different materials of our footwear.
Thus, the offer includes waterproofing for shoes made of nubuck or suede, as well as waterproofing for shoes made of fabric or leather. Importantly, these waterproofing products can be used for shoes with membranes, such as Gore-Tex® or SympaTex®. For shoes made of grain leather, a waterproofing wax will also work perfectly, which will give the shoes water repellent properties, while refreshing the color and reducing scuff and scratch marks.
An all-purpose waterproofing agent for suede, fabric or nubuck shoes (also equipped with a Gore-tex membrane) will be Granger's product. This efficient agent is applied with an atomizer. Importantly, it is a 100% eco-friendly product.
To supporters of traditional shoe polish, we offer a Mil-Tec brand product, dedicated to shoes made of grain leather. Thanks to the use of shoe polish, you will refresh the appearance of your shoes, also effectively protect them from dirt and staining. In addition to black, colorless and navy blue shoe polish is also popular among users.
An alternative to black shoe polish or navy blue shoe polish, will be grease for grain leather - from Magnum. This preparation softens and protects the leather from soaking up water, and prevents excessive drying of the shoe surface.
military.pl also offers shoe cleaning kits, which include the following items:
- shoe cleaning brush,
- A brush for applying and spreading the paste,
- black shoe polish,
- clear shoe polish,

Before waterproofing, clean our footwear from dust, mud, snow, etc. Let's also remember about the sole - a cleaned sole won't dirty us when we accidentally grab for it. It's also a good idea to take out the laces and insoles, so that you can reach every spot. Waterproofing should be done outdoors or in a ventilated room.
