The best way to remove oil stains from light coloured shoes, is to use a can of aerosol deodorant. Do not use an antiperspirant, as this will spray white powder onto the leather.
The solvent in the deodorant dissolves oil. So, spray it onto the stain; quickly and gently, rub the spray onto the stain. Do not be tempted to dig your fingernail into the leather in a misguided attempt at speeding-up the process: this may cause permanent damage to the material, probably making tan-coloured leather go dark brown. Once the solvent has dissolved the oil, the leather will look dry and lacklustre, as though it requires a good polish. So, leave the leather to dry for 24 hours and once you are happy that the stains have gone, give the leather a good polish in the usual way. More than one coat of polish may be required.
