I have a gorgeous pair of cream leather cowboy boots from next. But they have ugly yellowy stains on the front of them. Is there any way I can remove these?

All depends on the type of stain so just choose !!

Here are basic guidelines for treating stains on leather clothing, shoes and furniture, and they apply to all gradations of the material. However, cleaning can alter the color or appearance of leather, so when in doubt, consult a leather-cleaning professional.

MILDEW
Steps
Mix 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) rubbing alcohol with 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) water.
Moisten a cloth with the mixture and wipe the affected area. Leave to dry.
INK
Steps
Spray the affected area with hairspray, then wipe it off with a clean cloth.
Ink can be extremely difficult to remove, so you may need to consult a leather-cleaning professional.
WATER
Steps
Allow a soaked leather garment to dry slowly and naturally.
Keep the item away from heat sources, and restore its softness with a leather conditioner after it's dry.
For soaked leather shoes, insert shoe trees and let air-dry.
GREASE
Steps
Blot excess grease with a clean cloth.
Sprinkle talcum powder or cornstarch on the affected area.
Let sit for at least 4 hours, then wipe off the powder.
PROTEIN (BLOOD, URINE)
Steps
Blot excess moisture with a clean, damp cloth.
Allow item to dry slowly, away from a heat source.
GUM
Steps
Rub with a plastic bag of ice cubes to harden the gum, and then pull off the gum.
For any residual gum, heat the area with a hair dryer and rub off the gum with a clean cloth.
SALT STAINS
Steps
Mix a solution of 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water.
Moisten a cloth with the vinegar solution and dab on the affected area.
DISCOLORATION
Steps
For leather garments, gloves and bags that are discolored, use a leather spray designed to restore color. These products are sold at shoe repair shops; choose the color that most closely matches.

Use saddlesoap from a good cobblers .
get a sponge dampen with warm water and wash the whole boot this wont damage the leather and is a good cleaner for all leathers.
dont use any form of stain remover or you will damage your booys completly when clean apply tuxan polish to the leather take your boots to the shop to get the nearest colour match the polish has a dye init so if you cant get the right colour just polish with a neautral polish and buff with a soft cloth .
hope this helps.
ps you can use saddlesoap on all types of leather not suede coats settees the obvious saddles and belts harnesses has lanolin so keeps the leather supple.

just about anything should coome right off of leather. Just take a baby wipe and wipe away. Get some shoe polish in cream, too, to give your shoes some extra shine. Myabe the shoes are just dulled down on the fronts

I don't know about removing them, but maybe you can stain them a darker color to mask the stains?
