I have to take care of a Mistress's black leather boots and was wondering outside of Kiwi shoe polish what is the best way to care for them?

I have no idea other than to just polish them with the Kiwi, so anything will be an inprovement thanks

First they need to be cleaned with a good leather cleaner, then leather soap and water, dried then polished

Do a web search for bootblacking. Look specifically for names such as elegant, boot pig, boi moe, boot dog, QTip, slave tabitha, slave lauren, henry and kiddo. There are other really great ones out there, but those are the names I happen to know. All of these are bootblack titleholders in the leather community.

Kiwi Parade Gloss and lotsa elbow grease. Hands down. I was on the AFJROTC rifle drill team back in high school and it was the only thing we used. (we took first at comp!!!)

We used to use alcohol to strip the old polish off, clean it well, and then use the parade gloss, applied with a cotton ball in very small circle, smaller the better, starting from the bottom. Let dry to a haze and use a rag to buff. Using a soft horsehair brush in between coats after the rough buff polishing helps take out small pieces of polish that'll ruin the next coat. Then rag buff again before the next coat. A cloth baby diaper with a spritz of water reigns supreme in final buffing. The little bit of water helps brings out the shine. We used about three coats as a base. The more you can buff, the shinier it gets.

The night before drill, our team spent about 6 hours just sittin' around polishing our shoes. All of our shoes looked like they were made from volcanic glass by the time we were done.

I was in the Army for 6 years and Wulfgarw pretty much hit the nail on the head. The only thing not mentioned is that it takes time and coats to get a really good shine. No matter how good you are a new pair of boots just won't shine that well. It takes in my experience at least 8 separate coatings before you start to notice it really shining up for you.

Use soft, non dry (not damp but not dry either) rags or cosmetic pads and rub kiwi into the leather. You really have to put a lot of elbow grease into it. Make sure the boots are clean and dry before you start. After the polish is rubbed in really well (the surface should be smooth, no extra kiwi on top), either mist the boots with a spray bottle or get a very soft rag wet and gently rub with medium pressure, easing up on the pressure as you go until you are barely rubbing them. about the time the water has dried up you should be about done. after the water has dried don't rub anymore unless you put more water on or you'll scratch the new shine.

That is my experience from daily boot shining. Hope it helps.
