I recently bought a pair of tan Cole Hann Collection leather shoes. The leather is a very light tan. Taking it to my cobbler, he told me that I would have to be very careful with the shoes as they will stain very easily due to the nature of the leather. I did notice when putting on a leather balm that they darkened easily when moist and that a spot where I left a small blob of balm (for even 5-10s) became dark. (Though, it faded within a few minutes.) He advised me not to wear the shoes in the rain, through wet grass, etc.
Any feedback on whether this is true? Do lighter, tan leathers require different kinds of upkeep or care than darker brown or black shoes that I am more used to wearing?
