How to clean suede shoes.

[@youraveragebreakfastcereal5285]

11:01 "things are for wearing and enjoying; we should wear the clothes, they shouldn't wear us" that philosophy earned a subscribe, my friend! As someone who loves quality footwear, watches and other clothing, the wear is something you have to roll with.

[@rhodeswood5513]

🎯🎯same with classic cars… they are to drive and enjoy🤝

[@robbertblok5612]

Exactly the way a cobbler, here in the Netherlands, told me some 50 years ago. Works absolutely fabulous. You can also buy a course rubber bloc to clean nubuck leather but it also works fine on your suede shoes. I always treat my suede shoes twice a year, store them clean and coloured for the next season which is guite practical. One pair was completely soaked a couple of weeks ago, dryed them carefully and only had to brush them with a course brush. These sprays are magic. Take good care of your shoes and they'll last for years. My oldest pair of shoes are more than 35 years old.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Yes you are Absoloutely right. Best wishes 🤝

[@kevinjewell233]

I was taught at Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture to use a Scotch Brite green scouring pad....just like on the back of sponges in the kitchen!!!

[@rhodeswood5513]

Mmmm will give it a try on some old ones…. Also the eraser ( magic sponge) is good🤝

[@stevenlord782]

Always wondered how you restore suede boots & now i know. Thankyou.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Glad it is of help🤝

This video was incredibly educational. I'm glad I found your channel

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you 🥂

[@paulmarmitelover3073]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing this. I've got a very similar pair from Church's, and wear them, not just admire them in my wardrobe. This guide will help me to spruce them up and keep them looking great.

[@madman5755]

Absolutely amazing content, every video very informative and with much clarity and quality. Superb job! 🔥

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you very much 🤝🥂

Thanks for tip about replacing worn out shoe laces 👍

I just found out how tedious maintaining a pair of suede shoes. But this is a big help to keep my footwear in pristine condition. Thank you very much for sharing. I enjoyed watching your video. 🤩

[@rhodeswood5513]

Happy to help!🥂🥂

[@claudioballesterosdeaguiar1569]

Just got me a pair of suede loafers at a thrift shop. They’re dark green (almost to the point of seeming black), and fit just perfectly. This video was most helpful to guide me on renovating them

[@rhodeswood5513]

Glad it was helpful… enjoy your shoes.. what a find!

[@ColinKinsey-ls7dr]

I just came across your KZbin channel Mr. Woods and I love it. Keep making the videos. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you Colin , much appreciated , . More videos planned. 🙏🙏🤝

[@horacesawyer2487]

Enjoyed your video. Good tips. But the most important thing I learned: I need one of those Church's aprons. : )

[@rhodeswood5513]

Glad it was helpful!🤝🤝

[@toeman8259]

Excellent and yes, very helpful. I already used the suede brush after each wearing and don’t wear anything suede in the rain. However, the stemming and conditioning underneath the shoes on the sole was a new twist (and dressing on the heels…normally just wiped them with a cloth). Thanks!! Would love to have one of those Church’s aprons if you have time to tell me where I can get one!!

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you very much. The aprons came with a special range of shoes we did years ago along with a polish kit. Sadly Church ( owned by Prada ) doubled their prices two years ago and are now only available in their own shops. They may still do an apron🤝🥂

[@williamkazak469]

Excellent video. You vould do a bideo or discuss suede jackets. I have not worn suede for many years.

[@kbm506]

Excellent video. You’re right about spraying in a well ventilated area, preferably outside. I knew a woman who died from shoe protecter spraying too much indoors.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Sorry to hear that…. Suede protector smells good…. So I suppose we inhale… so better outside 🤝

[@teenoso4069]

Indeed changing laces and lace colour is one of the quickest and most cost effective ways to renew, elevate or dress down footwear

[@rhodeswood5513]

[@okiemwiejskiego]

I have two pairs of light suede Chelsea boots from Crockett&Jones, while driving the car I was "scrubbing" the heel part on the rubber mats, but I couldn't (and still can't) remove the stains. Thank you for your program, it taught me a lot.

[@rhodeswood5513]

My pleasure… I hope it helps 🤝🥂

[@shanerob681]

Thank you. This is very useful information. I recently purchased a pair of suede boots and was wondering if I should spray them before my first wear?

[@rhodeswood5513]

Yes definitely . We ask all customers purchasing suede shoes if we can spray them for them with suede protector 🤝

[@shanerob681]

Thank you. Should any suede protector work?

[@forceforgood4669]

That was helpful and timely for me to learn as I just purchased a pair.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Hope it will stand you in good stead… don’t forget to spray them before you wear them🤝

[@forceforgood4669]

@@rhodeswood5513 Thank you; I surely will.

[@MichealSeaghdha]

I am seriously considering buying a pair of not inexpensive Crockett & Jones Chukka boots, because unfortunately for me they are (to my knowledge) the only UK manufacturer currently producing narrow fitting footwear. Your cared for boots look fantastic, although like many people I am a bit nervous about wearing suede in the rain. My understanding is that it's basically OK unless they get absolutely drenched. But anyway, thanks again for your helpful video.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you …. The style ‘chukka’ is a D fitting so narrower…. Douse them with suede protector …. You’ll be fine 🤝🤝🥂

Can blue dye from the hems of jeans be removed from mid brown suede boots?

[@rhodeswood5513]

If it’s penetrated to skin … like a tattoo .. could be difficult Try rubbing lighter fuel over , then dry and apply neutral cream and then polish

[@HookBeak_66]

Your well spoken retail patter was informal yet not rambling, the tips were well explained, although I wouldn't use the kettle, I'd rather keep it for its intended use.

[@rhodeswood5513]

Thank you , I’ve bought a steam gun now which is a game changer… video soon🙏🤝🤝

[@abunchofun]

Is it possible to brush the suede off or is the suede matted down? Also how am I to know which direction to brush the suede and is it the same direction for the entire shoe/boot(knee high)?

[@rhodeswood5513]

Brush it both ways, against the nap , then with the nap ( smooth) Steam will lift the nap. Try it on the side of the boot nearest your other leg🤝

Hello! How does suede shoes resist rain, dirt and dust over time?

[@rhodeswood5513]

They need spraying with suede protector for rain and brushing with a suede brush for dust🥂

[@stevenroche9874]

What about using a suede cleaner or shampoo ?

[@rhodeswood5513]

Yes if needed…. I seem to get most things off with this though🤝

How about jackets? Took mine to laundry, they said no water, still can see some "old spots" ❤

[@harrylagerlof1751]

Do you agree that a suede chukka boot is interchangeable with a suede chelsea boot or do I need to by myself a pair of chukka boots aswell? In my opinion they share the same silhuette.

I think it’s down to preference… I have several pairs of suede chukka…. One pair of Chelsea…. Which I just don’t get on with🤷🏻‍♂️🤝🥂
