suede shoes - post 'em here!

[Patek]

Being stuck at home gave me time to clean up some old suede shoes.

Here are the Edward Green tobacco suede with medalians. Laces from Hanger Project I believe.

Peal & Co for BB made in England by an unknown maker. Darn raw denim gave them some patina.

Cross Post from the SuSu thread. I went ham in the outlet and that means pictures! I wore my chocolate brown suede Chelseas from Carlos Santos today.

I did not happen to comment on this over on the WYWRN thread,
But I really like these boots.

Thank you, here’s another picture, they are available as MTO. I also ordered similar Chukkas and Tassel loafers for the summer stock in the shop!

I have these suede captoes for Barneys. They’re not bad. Had more comfortable shoes for sure, but also had way way way worse. Anyway, I like them.

I’d like to hear more about the drink-induced cleaning process, if you don’t mind.

I think I have about ~30 bottles of bourbon on the wall. Not all are for drinking though. Nothing like a Thursday night where my wife and daughter are asleep and I'm sitting here thinking of what to do. I remember my 30-odd pairs of boots and shoes which have not been getting enough love since I became a father. So, I have been going through my closet doing a different shoe type every night. One night I shine boots, the other I buff cordovan, last Thursday is was "let me see if I can lighten the denim stains on those suede shoes" which turned into "well, since I'm here..."

I use the Saphir suede cleaning product which you mix with water and then brush with the provided horse hair brush. Stuff is pretty pricey so once you have a batch mixed you would hate to waste it. Not perfect, but the results are pretty good. Wait 6 hours to fully dry (the shoes and your kidneys) then brush with your suede horse hair brush. Follow up with the Saphir suede conditioner and you are done.
