Thanks for hinting that they look fresh, as my lack of shoe tree use hasn't done them any favours. A few years old now though tbf.
I've used the loake oxblood polish from the off, seems to work well. I give the front a real polish and work some water in to try and get some shine, just regular polish and brush for the rest.

I've got a pair of the black Trickers Grasmere and some light brown pebble grain Cheaneys and I just polish them as normal. It doesn't affect the grain in any way.
If anyone's interested i used the liquiproof protector on the suede Paraboots I bought. First wear got caught in a light shower but the liquiproof really did its job so I'd recommend.
The Paraboots had a price drop as well so I ended up buying both colourways. Bargain at this price I think.

Loake Anglesey got a wee polish.
