No, this is wrong on both counts. Veg tan leather is much more rigid - that’s precisely why it is used in shoes.

Furthermore, veg tan is much much more susceptible to staining both from water and oils.

Veg tan is good when you need thicker leather, harder/more rigid leather, or leather that cannot stretch (belts).
