Shoe Care Tips & Tricks
How do I take care of suede?
1. Use a suede brush or bristle brush to brush your shoes, ensuring you brush in the same direction as the nap. Insert a shoe tree prior to the brushing to maintain the shape of the shoe.
2. Spray your shoe with a suede protector. Some modern suede leathers have protectors already tanned into them but it's a good idea to apply a suede protector anyway just in case.
3. To remove stains, you can apply a suede cleaner, rubber eraser (insert more options)
4. If your shoes are wet, DON'T leave them in direct sunlight. They will just fade. Instead, leave them somewhere cool, dry and well ventilated so that they can dry naturally. Using a shoe tree can help absorb moisture from inside.
5. If you get mud on your shoes, let the mud dry first, then brush it off later. If you brush it straight away, you may brush the mud into the suede.
