How to make your suede sneakers look like new

If you own a pair of suede shoes, you know that as soon as you step outside, soft, velvety suede can become a magnet for dirt, as it stains easily as it absorbs moisture, and loses color on sunnier days.

It is one of the most delicate materials and therefore has very specific cleaning characteristics. In this post, we tell you.

But first, let’s start by knowing what suede is:

“It is also known as chamois or suede. And it is a type of leather from elk or other animals that are marinated and tanned. Suede leather is made from the inner part of the skin, usually lamb, but the goat is also used for pig, calf, or elk.

Its softness, thinness, and ductility make it suitable for garments and delicate uses of leather; thus, it was originally used to make women’s gloves. Suede is also popular for use in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products. "

Due to its characteristics, suede requires special care and maintenance. We have to be methodical because a good cleaning of each stain can extend the life of our suede shoes or suede boots.

Here we leave you a suede cleaning routine, whether there are existing stains, if you want to prevent them, or are looking for a “tuning up”.
