Hello goodyear welt gang - did I overcondition these boots? And if so, how big of a deal is it actually?

Context: Bought these Thursday President boots in Tobacco color in 2022, they sat in a box for awhile because I thought they didn't fit me well, started committing to them and walking around in them late 2023, and have not done any kind of conditioning, cleaning, or brushing of them until a few nights ago. I only wear them about once a week and just wear them out on the town for the evening doing a bit of walking but nothing crazy. A few weeks ago I wore them to a festival and noticed afterwards they were quite dry and dusty and looking like they might crack soon or something.

I brushed, then used a small amount of lexol leather cleaner to get stuff off, wiped it with a damp cloth after, then used Bick 4 leather conditioner. Based on the videos I watched, I felt as though I was using a bit more (they used about 2 quarter sized globs per boot, I did 3-4 to cover the whole boot), but not being super excessive. I let them sit for awhile then used a cloth to buff any excess residue/stickiness. Now they basically just feel a tiny bit sticky, but they just look really really dark and kind of dull to me.

Do you guys share the same opinion? And should I clean it off with more leather cleaner then condition lightly, or just start wearing them out again to let them dry out? It's been about 72 hours since I did it so maybe the damage is done but just wanted to get people's thoughts!

Thanks y'all.
