If you have leather shoes, I'd suggest thoroughly cleaning them with saddle soap to remove any dirt, polish, and other residue, using leather conditioner, applying cream polish to restore color if needed, then a layer of wax polish. The final layer of wax polish both adds shine and a water-resistant layer.\r\n\r\nThe best way to clean off road salt is a mixture of water and vinegar. The vinegar breaks down the chemicals (carbonates I think) that help keep road salt from washing away, the water washes away the salt itself.\r\n\r\nBonus edit: For black shoes, the [Kiwi Deluxe Shine Kit for $13 on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Kiwi-135-011-Deluxe-Shine-Kit/dp/B001AEZ3QG/) is an unbeatable deal. It includes a shine brush, dauber brush, buffing cloth, and two tins of black wax polish.","subreddit_name":"NoStupidQuestions","author":"LarsAlereon"},{"body":"I’m going to take a wild guess and say you were issued brown boots not black; in which case a boot cleaning kit isn’t really necessary, however always better to be safe rather then sorry. You can buy Kiwi polish, brushes, etc from Canex if you’re in a town that has a base or any shoe store, Walmart, etc. Again you won’t use it but if it’s a requirement on the kit list have it anyways.
