I recently bought a pair of Cole Haan loafers (Tucker Venetian, French Roast). They are dark brown shoes with light brown stitching. Since the stitching is not the same color as the leather, should I use brown or neutral polish? Will neutral polish cover scuffs?
Contrasting stitching, brown or neutral polish?

Neutral polish, but it won't cover scuffs. (Have some coloured shoe cream on hand to spot-treat any scuffs, as it'll return a fair bit of pigment to the leather, and then top that off with all-over neutral polish.)
... assuming, of course, that you want to keep the contrast in the stitching.

Exactly. And, I suppose, assuming the shoes at issue are intended to be shiny. Having trouble imagining shoes with contrasting stitching that take a high gloss shine!
I do not really know what folks do about polishing "spectators." I assume it is a pain!
