I remember Hubbards, we used something called Dubbin when I was a kid.

I just looked it up. I though dubbin was a brand name. Anything you rub on your boots is dubbin. Took me 60 years to learn that. Whew, my life wasn't wasted after all. ;)

I use sno-seal, my dad taught me to put the boots in the oven (on warm) before application to warm up the leather, then it soaks right in and put em in again after for a bit. Put a post-it note on the oven door though, my dad found out the hard way when my mom turned the oven on to cook something...what's that smell? It smells like burning rubber!

Used Hubbard's Boot Grease for years, well, at least until I ran out of my supply. Sno Seal makes an acceptable substitute as far as I'm concerned. Kinda miss the amber color and fragrance. Kept my Whites supple and water resistant.
