Follow the directions and repeat as needed. Also, watch the weather report and try to avoid wearing them in pouring rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-advisehow-to-keep-light-suede-booties-clean#post-1578335 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 04:12:39 +0000 Keix 1578335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recommend Kelly's Water Protector spray to everyone. A local city cobbler sold it to me and I've since used it on all of my leather and suede shoes, including light pink suede tall boots that showed stains from a previous waterproofing spray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-advisehow-to-keep-light-suede-booties-clean#post-1578272 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 01:38:00 +0000 Anonymous 1578272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a pair of bone colored suede boots a few years ago and I used a Mr Clean Magic Eraser to clean them. I used it dry (you can also just dampen it lightly) and very gently went over the dirty spots. They always looked new afterwards.</p> <p>Initially I tested it inside the boot to make sure it would not destroy the suede, but it did not. You could also go to a shoe repair shop and they may be able to waterproof them for you so that the leather is protected and won't get water spots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-advisehow-to-keep-light-suede-booties-clean#post-1578262 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 01:27:43 +0000 Stephanie 1578262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I treat mine with weather/waterproof spray. That has always helped keep them clean, and protects against rain and water. I did the same for my knee high suede riding boots and they held up great! So, I'd recommend a protective spray for sure. Other than that, just be careful and you should be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-advisehow-to-keep-light-suede-booties-clean#post-1578225 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 00:02:30 +0000 SW Ann 1578225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just got my first pair of suede booties in light beige (called taupe but its really pretty light)...how can I keep these clean?? I thought they were smooth leather but they have just arrived and are suede.&nbsp; Clearly I missed the very small print description that included the word "suede"--I was blinded my desire to bookend my light hair color and just ordered them when they went on sale.&nbsp; Still deciding if I should keep or if they will look bad too quickly.&nbsp; <br />Any advice would be appreciated as this is my first pair of suede shoes since I was a teenager...a VERY long time ago!&nbsp; TIA</p>
