It’s a lot of work,
but brush on with applicator and let it dry, then brush it to a luster, better is done twice.
then put a heavy layer on the toe and front half of boot of shoe, then light it up. After the flame goes out, brush lightly to even it out. Let it dry, then use a cotton ball, slightly wet, dab it in the shoe polish and work it in a circular motion. Keep using the cotton ball, water and polish, you will be able to see yourself in the leather.
That was the only way to get through formation in the mornings during Flight School. Then that night do it all over again.
Fun times for sure.

this is how I rolled…. although I burned the polish in the tin… then applied and subbed spit for water. I passed more inspections than I failed, so it works pretty good. towards the end of basic, I could do both boots in 2 cigs
It’s amazing how careful you can be with your boots, when you know you gotta make em look new at the end of everyday
