Kiwi Brown Shoe Polish

Bundeswehr Boot Polish

This is Kiwi brown shoe polish drawn from German Army stores, in the flat 50ml tin soldiers carry in a kit bag or keep in a locker. It is a wax paste for brown leather. Rub it in to put color back into scuffs, then buff it to a shine. Use it on brown combat boots, jump boots, service shoes and belts, or add it to a Bundeswehr kit collection as a genuine issue item.

Features

• Genuine German Army Issue — Supplied through Bundeswehr stores, the same polish issued to German soldiers for boot care.
• Brown Color — Matched to brown leather, so it restores color on worn toes and heels while it polishes.
• Water Resistant — The wax layer helps leather shed rain and moisture instead of soaking it up.
• Leather Nourishing — The paste works into the leather to help keep it supple and slow cracking.
• Buffs To A Shine — Apply a thin coat, let it dry, then brush or cloth it up to a gloss suited to inspection or dress wear.
• 50ml Metal Tin — A flat, compact tin that slips into a field kit, ruck pocket or footlocker.
• Side Lever Opener — A small lever on the rim pops the lid without prying at it with a coin or knife.
• Bilingual Label — The tin is marked in French and English, "Brun / Brown", as supplied in German Army stock.

Issue Kit Provenance

Kiwi has supplied polish to armed forces for generations, including the British and US Armies since the First World War, and it remains standard boot care in many militaries. This tin came from German Army supply rather than a retail shelf. Collectors and reenactors who want an authentic Bundeswehr item in a kit layout will want it, and so will anyone who just needs good brown polish for their boots.
