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

    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.
