The polish seems to fill in the pores in the leather and lets a lot less water through. It also adds another layer of protection to the leather. I know my magnums after two years of use are far more waterproof now then they were when I got them. I even apply the polish to the fabric.
EDIT
I also suffer from massive and wide feet. I wear a 13 f in the cf boots I believe. Its been a long time since I had the cadillacs. When it comes to runners I have to get new balance in the widest they come and they just barely fit. I have used bates, magnum, bellville and most recently oakley in there wide versions and have been very happy with them. My boot pile is getting a wee bit large.
