Quick Shoe Cream Question

Quick question, I have a medium brown shoe cream that I use on my Walnut colored AEs. First time I've used it and I noticed, or at least I think it did, made them ever so slightly darker in color. They still look walnut, but my question is...

If I keep on using this cream will it progressively get darker and darker?If so I'll go pick up a neutral cream.

they won't get darker than the cream you are using. if you like the color, stick with it, if not find something else.

Multiple uses of a cream or polish darker than the shoe will darken the shoe. I've not really noticed lighter polish lightening a shoe, but I suppose it must.
