I like my dress boots to be:
- extremely reliable (to be able to wear them 24/7 and to be able to bear some abuse as I ride a motorbike)
- extremely comfortable (like joggers level comfortable)
- made of original leather
- with a sole which won't slip or wear excessively

So I bought Hush Puppies' "Transit" today. I like their simple design and very high comfort level (due to extra wide design).

But now I am concerned about their Wax/Polish. I want something which can:
1. Save the shoe's outer leather from Dust, Water, and Mud (something like having a protective layer so I could simple wipe the dust off of it after a long bike ride, or otherwise)
2. give Long lasting shine
3. Protect the leather from obvious ageing.

I have used Cherry Blossom and Kiwi kind of stuff and frankly, they are ... Well, not what I Want.

I would prefer recommendations from people in their Professional Life. Others are also welcomed, aa long as their recommendations hold value.

How much are you willing to invest in shoe care----

I ask because 'super hydrophobic coatings' are all the rave these days...havent tried them out, but I know one company sells it for around 15 euros.

Well at best, i would spend, say a 1000 rupees. Or maybe 1500, if its something really outstanding. Really not looking forward to import stuff, so i'd rather having something which is locally available. But given the high amount of "2 number maal", i have high doubts if i will ever find something decent here. Heck even Cherry Blossom these days is coming full time 2 number, and that was like, the best of all the shoe waxes we could have.

Couldn't find some good ones here too, was looking for an all round moisturiser for genuine leather shoes, otherwise they dry out, couldn't something without color. I did find one brand of shoe shine really high quality with TSM&CO, but they were pretty expensive, around 2-2.5k for the wax.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
