Leather boot upper repair

Saw some people here discussing leather repairs so thought I'd ask this.

Hi, some time ago I inherited these Loake chelseas. They're at least 20 years old and were not cared for especially well. Cracks developed in the creases (possibly due to lack of conditioning?) and at some point sand got into the cracks.

Is there anything a decent cobbler or leatherworker can do to at least stabilise this? I'd love to wear them but I'm worried they'd deteriorate.
