I don’t mind brushing it before I leave or when I come home, but I prefer to not sit there and spend 30 minutes polishing or whatnot each day

    My last leather boots I used wax every now and then, which is good. I did not maibtain the shoes well enough nd hace some cracks in the leather. Had them for 10 years. now I’m following manufacter instructions (Lowa) and I’m impregnating the lether with chemicals and usung a soft leather balm for the lining. hope it helps

      What kind of wax and what was your procedure? I know I can probably just google it or watch a video, but I’m sure there are some popular misconceptions or snake oil and I’d like to avoid all that.

        Regular leather waterproofing wax should be fine. I understand grangers is a decent brand. procedure … when the shoes are dirty or you notice they soak water. I used 2 brushes: one to clean off the dirt and another to rub in the wax. Make sure all leather had it’s decent share of rubbing. You don’t need much wax. I used 1 container for 10 years.
