jones the bootmaker offered to wizz them through there spraying machine for waterproofing or such

Bizarre... Brogues were invented so the perforations would let the water drain when walking through wet land.

Buy some good leather care stuff, don't trust a machine.

Surely it just serves to protect the leather rather than also act as waterproofing as it would do on other shoes?

Point taken, but not sure I'd want anything sprayed onto new leather unless I knew what the chemicals were though.
