If your Docs are a high shine boot, then Angelus or Lincoln wax polish since you're in a colder climate, For oil tans, Meltonian cream polish. Sno Seal is processed with petroleum products according to their MSDS sheet so it's not as bad as some as some of the stuff that's loaded will silicone, but for a good weatherproofer, I'm a fan of Obenhauf's LP. You can get Obie's from their website or most Cabela's carry it in their shoe dept. Angelus you can get from their www.angelusdirect.com website or even Amazon. Amazon or www/shoeshineexpress.com for the Meltonian and the Lincoln. Just make sure your Docs are leather - a lot of them aren't these days
For a mirror shine, buff with girls' microfiber tights...they are heavier material than womens and will work up a really nice shine quickly as long as you do multiple thin coats and don't buff off all your wax. Never heat wax polish with a flame...it burns off the conditioners in it and will dry it out.
