Care about your leather the proper way.
There quite a few youtube tutorials about that.
You will need to gather a kit of 3-4 different chemicals (cleaner, softener, cream, wax), two brushes (soft and hard) and some sponges. Then clean your leather every or every other month. Make sure to give enough time between every stage of the cleaning (i.e. apply cleaning solution, buff in, wait 15 mins, buff out).
Should take about 45 minutes once you get a hold of it. You can do like 3 pairs in these 45 mins.
Or take to shoe repair store and and ask 'em to do a deep cleaning on 'em.
Here is the kit I bought on Amazon for this purpose (hope it is OK to post product links here - I get no kickback from these):

Try cleaning it and using a polish to see what it does. You might be surprised and not have to dye anything at all.
This is what they used.
Seriously though, use it sparingly! They might get so shiny that you can't even see them any more, Predator-style!
The response given is a little confusing, since in the first sentence they recommend a wax polish and then refer to it as a cream in the rest of the text.
Are you trying to shine your shoes or just take care of them?
Either way, start with a cream that closely matches the color of your shoes, this will condition the leather and help to recolor scuffs and scratches. Apply in the way the email describes or refer to the care guide linked above.
If you feel like you want a higher shine, wax polish is the next step. Again, check out the care guide for instructions.
Do you want a high shine finishing wax or a general shoe care+shining polish? If the latter, I'd say just suck it up and get Saphir Pate De Lux without Prime. Medaille D'Or is their top of the line stuff, but if you're looking to spend a little less, their second-tier line - Beaut Du Cur - is also good. Don't let a few extra days and dollars stop you from buying something you're going to have for months/years.
