Who needs a wine rack when you have a boot collection in the closet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-395279 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:10:15 +0000 lyn* 395279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't use bootshapers - I roll up old fashion magazines (actually, any magazine will do - lol) and put rubber bands around them in "boot shaper" length and stuff my boots that way! </p> <p>It's free. I like free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-395273 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:00:51 +0000 Lisa 395273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-395134 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:18:40 +0000 Marvel Girl 395134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the advice! These are my first pairs of good boots and I really want to take good care of them. I'll start looking at Clarks and Nordies for sprays and boot shapers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-394944 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:05:53 +0000 Angie 394944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another welcome from me! </p> <p>Trust me when I tell you that waterproofing spray (from Clarks or Nordies) is killer fab stuff. I live in rainy Seattle and use it ALL THE TIME. I have expensive footwear, suede and non-suede, and spray stuff on almost all my boots/booties a few times a season. Works like a charm and does not change the colour after it has dried. </p> <p>Please pop boot shapers in your boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-394918 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 15:21:07 +0000 Louise 394918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always waterproof all my leather and suede boots before wearing and every so often throughout the boot wearing season. I use a liquid on leather and a spray on suede. The spray may alter the colour slightly but I prefer that than ruining them altogether with dirt x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-394682 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 01:30:45 +0000 Debora 394682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Marvel Girl! Sounds like you really scored at NAS. I'm not really sure myself how to care for boots, but I am bumping this thread up for you for more input. I'm so glad you decided to join the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/caring-for-leather-suede-boots#post-394473 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 20:01:50 +0000 Marvel Girl 394473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first actual post! I've been totally loving the site for the past month and I finally have a reason to post. I bought some great leather and suede boots from NAS (DV Wyatt Bootie, Cole Haan Air Jalisa, Frye Jane Strappy) but I'm not sure how to take care of them. I know you can waterproof suede but what product is good to use? The suede boots that I bought are blue so I'm concerned about the waterproofing spray changing the color. Do I need to use some product on brown and black leather boots before wearing or do I just condition them at the end of the season? Any product recs or suggestions would be really appreciated! </p>
