How to clean leather shoes?

I would start by brushing off any loose dirt. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather of any dirt that's still showing. Then use some saddle soap according to the directions. When the shoes are dry, polish with black shoe polish and buff with a soft bristle shoe brush.

Mix a solution of warm water and dish soap, dip a soft cloth into it, wring it out and wipe the exterior surfaces of the shoe. Use a second clean, damp cloth to wipe off the soap. Dry with a towel. Warm, soapy water will also remove water stains and scuffs.

I would use either saddle soap or black shoe polish, well brushed after applying. I remember shoe stands throughout cities and a time when it was important to have properly brushed clean shoes.

Shoe polish would be my first suggestion.
