SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member 5347339 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have a few military graduations coming up that I am attending, and our First Sergeant will begin doing monthly ASU inspections, the corframs I was issued are scratched beyond repair. Are the leather low quarters still a thing in the Army? I know they are authorized for wear I feel like they will be better than the corframs, is it frowned up or widely unknown that they are in regulation. Does anyone wear them? If so, how do you like them? 2019-12-15T19:05:53-05:00 SGT(P) Private RallyPoint Member 5347339

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They are still a DSCP item in clothing sales, you&#39;ll have to ask for them. Be prepared for double digit man hours to get them to standard between saddle soap, dying, polishing, edge dressing, and buffing, alternating neutral and black polish.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.shopmyexchange.com/dlats-men-s-military-black-leather-oxford-dress-shoes/2396992">https://www.shopmyexchange.com/dlats-men-s-military-black-leather-oxford-dress-shoes/2396992</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.shopmyexchange.com/dlats-men-s-military-black-leather-oxford-dress-shoes/2396992">Dlats Men&#39;s Military Black Leather Oxford Dress Shoes | Military Approved Footwear | Military |...</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Shop DLATS Men&#39;s Military Black Leather Oxford Dress Shoes and other name brand Military Approved Footwear Military at The Exchange.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you don&#39;t have any experience spit shining leather to a high gloss, or have a professional shoe shine nearby, definitely stick to the fake leather. I spent hours over the course of days shining my old oxfords and they still never looked as good as the coroframs we get now.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I dug through the regs when my shoes needed to be replaced. I now wear commercially available oxford style low quarters, they are vastly superior to the garbage plastic shoes.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Once you find your authorized leather oxfords, you have to remember - shine the polish, not the leather!<br />Simple pure cotton balls (no synthetic crap), Kiwi, and cold, cold water.<br />Apply the polish thick.<br />Wet a cotton ball, and just let it touch the outer Kiwi (&quot;black shoe wax&quot;) as you make circles on it.<br />Do NOT press down! Just let the friction from the cotton ball and the cold, cold water do their work<br />You&#39;ll be surprised at how little amount of time it takes you!<br /><br />SSG Sam sends.
