I have a pair of keen bostons that I fucking love.
Problem is I do not know how to clean them.
I live in the dusty desert and the dirt is slowly drying out the super cool slightly oily finish.
What is the oil on these?

Any sort of leather conditioner or oil should work fine. I use Bick 4 (http://www.amazon.com/Bickmore-Bick-Leather-Conditioner-Ounces/dp/B001CS8G3C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429216665&sr=8-1&keywords=bick+4)) on all of my leather (other than suede, of course).

Different conditioners work better for different tannages, I guess. I mostly own vegetable-tanned shoes.

These are the kind where you can rub a scuff and it goes away. Its like the leather is oil impregnated or something. Does anyone know about the finish I an talking about?

Could be pull-up. Or maybe oil-stuffed or waxed.
Pic related is an example of pull-up.
