saddle soap
My museum curator friends use Pecard Leather Dressing on antique/aged leather. I reckon it works well on new leather, too.
Lexol is a good conditioner, fairly cheap, and readily available.
Watch out for neatsfoot oil on anything with glue, like the soles and heals of shoes. It will destroy the adhesion, but it works really well otherwise, especially when you're trying to soften a piece of stiff leather. Wouldn't use it on any antiques, though.

I'm hearing mink oil a lot. Saddle soap is a soap which is a surfactant containing acid. I think it does damage to shoes??
