I use NIKWAX which is almost the same as MEINDL's own type (snowseal is also good but requires unnatural heat to apply). You must get use to the boots getting sodden quickly in NZ but the wax will protect the leather and gortex will reduce weight and time to dry compared to leather insides. Do not use fat or oil as this is what is taken out to produce good leather and fat will cause rot. Bees wax is best.
