Gorgeous program. Mint stuff. Thank you.

[@stevenroche9874]

Nick, Saphir's Médaille d'Or Renovateur spray will condition suede and nubuck with almond oil in the formula. It is available in neutral and colors ( from Potter and Sons and others ). Definitely good for the boots and shoes.

[@cannibalholocaust3015]

This was great help, did two pairs of trickers and old pair of grenson. The Saphir brush fell apart until I got into it. Recommend follow advice of brushing before and after. Also, see differing recommendations of ratio. 3:1 seems standard have also seen 1:1. TLDR it’s delicate cleaner so unlikely to harm anything, more about economy of use. 3:1 worked for me.

In South Africa & Rhodesia we just washed our "Vellies" with hand soap & then packed mielie meal on them & brushed it off when it was dry. All clean again!

How would you guys go about cleaning it after spraying it with the saphir ?

[@turodre9899]

I have a pair of "brand new" suede boots that got moldy due to storage, they're a light beige color... Any tips on how to properly clean them please? Thank you!

[@caseyrowe5272]

Can you explain the waxing thing? Everyone seems to always skip over it and I don’t understand what the process is or what it’s for or how to do it properly

[@israelcowles4364]

So i can apply this same process to suede Jordans for instance?

[@ThomasLundyRealtor]

Would this be the same process if the suede is waxed like the Helm Rusan suede they have?

[@_JOMOMA]

Does this work for roughout as well?

[@OverlandTT]

I need help, My Belleville boots, one of them has gone coarse and the other not… how do we fix this?

I know this is an older video but does anyone have tips on how to “shrink” suede Chelsea boots that are stretched? (Had a boot for years and want to tighten them up)

[@MichaelLeopold1]

Informative

[@gadohimself]

You wax the suede? Which wax do you use?

[@j.w.perkins6004]

I used to take a fine wire-wheel to re-raise the knap on my suede boots. They would look like new boots. It would raise the old worn down spots on the boots. Was that foolish? Can you do that with today's suede? I'm 73yo now and not near as rough on boots as I used to be😅

[@farhanaziz2016]

How to remove polish wax from nubuck shoes? Please help😢

[@stevenroche9874]

In Mexico City, a form of saddle soap called pumpkin soap is used on suede and nubuck routinely without issue.

[@Stridewise]

and it sounds delicious!

[@stevenroche9874]

@@Stridewise It is orange in color. I bought a tub of it from Amazon. Works great ! You should travel to Mexico City and report on the street shoe shine scene, the biggest in the world.

[@tericottaclay9462]

Do you know the brand? I'd like to try it out

[@ertjija]

Could you also provide that big eraser product link too? Thanks!

[@pattgsm]

No need to be too fancy w/ any particular suede eraser. In a pinch, red school eraser, white art eraser, drafting gum eraser all work as well.

[@hazindu]

Auto interior detailers tend to work well on suede, nubuck and rough out.

[@thehunzz]

Very interesting. Which ones have you used on suede & rough out? I've got a ton of different auto interior detailing products in the garage.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

No

[@abrahamdelgado777]

So would you apply wax after applying water repellent? Or would you choose between one or the other?

[@asstin18]

I'm wondering this too, did you ever fund out?

[@abrahamdelgado777]

[@young_of_the_mill9560]

What to spray on them when you first get them?

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Did you even watch the video??

[@Dominicreviews]

I use a stiff bristle brush NOT a wire brush to brush off the surface dirt.

[@stevenroche9874]

Suede nylon bristle brush.

[@ansipage]

would these sprays protect a suede shirt jacket?

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

😂

[@supersaiyan7046]

Would you clean roughout the same way?

[@Stridewise]

yes

[@clippertalk]

I spilled some mineral oil on my suede boots, will this work on them?

[@stevenroche9874]

For a mineral oil stain, I recommend scrubbing the area with Dawn Platinum dishwashing liquid and rinsing with plenty of water.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

No

[@galou0090]

I use saddle soap on my suede sneakers regularly. The nap isn't really propped up but I don't really mind. Just adding my two cents

[@stevenroche9874]

Just use a suede brush when the sneakers are dry to raise the nap again.

[@nerdy8675309]

Thanks for this input. Really didn't want to purchase a different product to clean boots with, if saddle soap will do a fine enough job without possibly *damaging* the boot.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

You’re clueless.

[@slamkat2859]

If you leave the soapy water on the shoe aren't you also leaving the dirt in. I would rinse the shoe with water and get the dirty water out

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

😂you’re clueless

[@kumarjatin83]

hi, I used a wrong brush and now all the strands are elongated and looks really hairy and bad. please suggest how to fix them.

[@M_H_H]

Use shaver

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

You damaged the boots. There is no “fixing” them

[@kumarjatin83]

I used a micro trimmer and now the shoes looks much better

Who drinks coffee in a throw away cup for a video? This dude is such a shill and it makes it hard to watch the video, even if I want to watch the content.

[@Stridewise]

who drinks coffee in a video? what? anybody?

[@bossplaier]

@@Stridewise I watched your video bashing LL Bean boots simply because "you didn't like the look." What? Quality is based on looks? You are a shill that should not be trusted. You content is all untrustworthy. Keep drinking coffee in throw away cups in videos and bashing well made products, oh and keep on shilling!

[@Stridewise]

@@bossplaier when did I bash landsend

[@bossplaier]

@@Stridewise my apologies, it's LL Bean and I edited my othercomment. Still bashed a product solely (pun intended) on looks and not on performance is a flaw and a huge look into your mission. When I watch videos on KZbin, I hope to find credibility in content creation, not shills bashing products for looks. Work is not a fashion show unless you are a runway model. I find people walking around cities talking about work boots don't properly understand how to test the products they are talking about. I'm not saying you need to do some grunty, hard working job to properly talk about boots, but it helps. LL Bean makes an ugly boot for sure, I don't wear this type of boot, but I do need and wear water proof boots. Many hard working labor industries need water proof boots, Contrary to your comment about "who needs waterproof boots anyway."

[@Stridewise]

@@bossplaier Oh, well I was very clear and honest that I was just talking about my personal opinion and only about their superficial looks? Like if I said they were badly made boots but actually I just thought they're ugly I think you'd be able to call me a hypocrite but if I'm saying I'm assessing something's looks, you can't be upset that I assessed it based on looks. There were enough caveats that someone like you can still be confident in their purchase
