• The worst enemy of suede shoes is, without a
  doubt, water.
• Water can stain suede easily, and in the case of
  coloured fabrics it can be a permanent mark that
  makes the shoes worthless.

  somewhere where rain is common.

  protector sprays or creams from most shoe stores
  and even supermarkets.

your suede boots a degree of protection against
water splashes.

• Keep in mind, though, that they won't clean
  already stained fabrics, and most definitely they
  won't make your new boots waterproof.
• Apply it on a well-ventilated place and leave it
  to dry overnight, as excess heat from a hairdryer
  or a radiator can also damage the shoes.

After applying the suede protection, your boots
should be safe from watermarks but that doesn't
mean you can wear them on the snow or to walk
under the rain. If your water dries on your
suede boots you may be able to use a special
suede brush to get it back to looking almost new.

• Those brushes are made of brass or steel, and you
  need to use them to brush carefully against the
  grain of the suede until the nap is restored.
• However, this won't remove big watermarks, so
  prevention is definitely your best friend if you
  want to keep your suede boots looking new.

How To Care For Suede Shoes
Suede boots come in a variety of colours, but
those dyes are only surface deep. This means
that using harsh chemicals or even shoe cleaning
products that work with normal shoes is out of
the question. If you find yourself with grease
stain on your suede shoes, your best bet is to
have them professionally cleaner.

How To Care For Suede Shoes
Do not try to clean suede boots with the same wet
cleaning methods that you'd use for smooth
leather, as suede needs to stay dry. If suede
gets wet it will crack and become damaged. At
most you can hold the shoes above a vapour
source, like a boiling pan, and brush right
afterwards with a suede brush in order to remove
surface dirt, but by no means allow it to become
wet.
