In general, no. It can, but it will leave you with a slick, sort of oily finish, which won't really look like suede anymore. For suede, the only thing you can do is use the modern sort of waterproofing sprays: there's various compositions, some of which might devolve the dyes in brightly coloured suede, so you should probably go to your local shoe repair shop and ask what's right for you.

How do you get salt stains out of shoes?
Salt is water soluble; just wash. After washing the salt off, let the shoes dry and apply saddle soap, mink oil or neet's foot oil to restore the moisture to the leather and keep it from cracking. For light-colored leather and suede, saddle soap will be less likely to discolor or stain like oils will. Test a small area first.

Should you waterproof shoes with Mink Oil first then polish or vice versa?
Most shoe polishes are wax based products so, therefore, you wouldn't need the mink oil because wax is a natural water-proofer. It's hard to advise on this issue since I don't know what material you are working with. I would call your local shoe store and tell him what you're working with. Chances are that he will have just the solution for you.
