RE: Why the soldier's black boot shines and the blackest synthetic material on earth
I just used military shoes due to the extra effort to put in shining their shoes to illustrate this effect. The effect is something you can replicate in other black shoes if it meets the same criteria. It is true that dark colours absorb more light and heat, the reason it is never advisable to wear dark colours on a hot sunny day.
