Care for dress shoes???

Went to a wedding last year and bought a decent pair of brown dress shoes.

They only get broken out a few times a year for fancy occasions.

Last time I put them on they are starting to look a little dry.

What is the best way to keep them looking new?

Saddle soap? Mink oil? Brown shoe polish?

keep them stretched out with Pine wooden shoe stretchers and get them professionally polished at a shoe repair place.

I have shoes maintained that are 10 years old and still looking new.
