Got my first pair of nice leather shoes, how do I maintain them?

[PolishPaul]

I got myself a pair of grey slacks and a pair of light brown shoes, trying to break into some nicer fashion.

Is there anything I should do before i start wearing them? For all my other shoes, first thing i apply a silicone based water proofer to keep clean and dry. Any regular maintenance you'd recommend? I read some articles about how to polish or to use shoe trees and I get that. I'm asking for more general and "maintenance" advice, such as, how often to shine, what not to do.. just life experience you can share with me? This is my first pair of quality (expensive?) shoes that i purchased.

I have never treated my shoes prior to first wear. Some people do.
I usually polish(Kiwi polish and then brush) all my shoes appr once every week...usually on the weekend while watching TV. Some people do this more often and with various products.

Do you plan to wear these shoes every day? 3-4 times a week? Or just when you are dressing up?
Less frequent wear means less maintenance IMO.
