The problem here is that most anything you put on the leather will stuff the
Goretex membrane so it no longer works. The combination is great marketing,
but not much else. Still, you have bought them, so ...

If you want to protect the leather, imho the very best stuff is Atsko
SnowSeal. I use it on my XC ski boots.
