I got a better shine on my Navy boondockers with black kiwi shoe polish, a cotton t-shirt, and water. I'm not sure what you do with the pantyhose from this instructable. Then again I had the shiniest shoes in the company. I always got outstandings on inspections both in the military and in jrotc.

We always used a heat gun on our Army combat boots for at least the first couple of shines. Hit them with the heat gun before using the water (ice cold worked the best). The heat gun was also useful for making smores in the barracks.

I had the shiniest shoes in jrotc too but the pantyhose are used to buff the boots.

We used pantyhose for polishing when I was in the Norwegian army.

We bought pantyhose at the PX -they could sell them pretty cheap since they could buy them in bulk without any packaging.
