I was talking to a leather worker today (he makes boots, shoes, wallets, etc) who advises to not polish shoes, but only use conditioner; he recommends RM Williams Saddle dressing. He said that this is his favorite product, and that nothing compares in his 45+ years experience. His reasoning is that polish doesn't allow the leather to breath, and will shorten the lifespan of leather goods by a considerable amount of time.
Let's discuss, as I know it seems that on this board, that many tout polishing every so many wearings and I know some polish after each wearing.
