Quick cleaning question: what is the best method to clean snuff suede? I have snuff suede Indy's that have a smudge on the toe. Many thanks in advance.
If one could only take one pair........you chose wisely.View attachment 1143892 Going up north with the family for the last ski weekend of the year and only bringing one pair of boots.
I've got both, and they seem sorta similar. I think Omnidaim is intended for spot-cleaning where the Netto-whatever is more for full-shoe shampoo. Both work well. I've heard folks say if you can get a no-fragrance/color coconut-oil shampoo (a Whole Foods kind of thing) you can use it the same way.I’ve been using this and it has worked fine:

But when I talked to a cobbler some time ago he said this was just as good, but cheaper:

Haven’t tried it yet, though.
And don’t be afraid to use quite a bit of water, check around 1:30 in this video (which is in Swedish, no affiliation):

And since it’s in Swedish: The shoes dry overnight before they’re brushed, so from 3:57 into the video it’s actually the next day.
(I usually don’t use pigmented spray.)
I have used the Saphir products and they work well. Do you spray your suede with something like Nano Spray? I have found that really helps to keep smudges off.Quick cleaning question: what is the best method to clean snuff suede? I have snuff suede Indy's that have a smudge on the toe.

Great shade of Natty CXL. Who's the retailer pls?
Indeed, true to size.Very nice. Barrie Jr last?
Good question asked earlier. What was your first pair of Aldens? Mine were the Brooks unlined shell loafers (RIP). I didn't know that Alden made them, and I didn't even know what shell cordovan leather was. I just liked the look.
Edit: I am dating myself, but the price was about $80.
Are they compatible with your bindings?View attachment 1143892 Going up north with the family for the last ski weekend of the year and only bringing one pair of boots.
