I tried to put my canvas tennis shoes in the washing machine a month or so ago, but it didn't help them much. Every other pair only gets the dirt wiped off the soles once a year. If they're lucky.
I clean and polish my shoes when the toes start to look noticeably less nice than the rest of the shoe; usually every couple of months. And I do it for any leather shoe, embellished or not. Q-tips are useful for this.
I don't polish my hiking boots, but about twice a year I run over them with boot dressing to clean them and renew the waterproofing.
I don't own any shoes that aren't leather... I just killed my canvas dance shoes.
Oh, and I own about 7 different colors of shoe polish, in addition to two different leather cleaner/conditioners.
