Is this ok to do? Just got some burgundy/merlot shoes, and am wondering if this is ok for the initial conditioning or if i need to go out and get some new shoe cream.

I'm not 100% sure if I'm keeping these shoes, which is why I'd rather not buy new cream.

If you're not sure that you're keeping them, I would probably avoid putting another color of cream/polish on them.

+1. I would avoid doing anything to them until you make your mind up.
