She recommended this spray. I've used it on light grey suede, and it didn't change the color after it dried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/protecting-my-new-shoes#post-1837855 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:40:47 +0000 Anonymous 1837855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and others will know what to do. &nbsp;You'll be fine. &nbsp;GREAT shoes, by the way. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/protecting-my-new-shoes#post-1837853 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:36:29 +0000 Emily K 1837853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, &nbsp;I know of several local shoe-repair places but I do not have a working relationship with any. &nbsp;Maybe a fellow Seattleite will have a recommendation. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/protecting-my-new-shoes#post-1837848 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:09:46 +0000 Anonymous 1837848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took my new suede purse to my local, professional shoe repair man. &nbsp;I did <u>exactly</u> as he instructed me and it worked like a charm. &nbsp;Do you have access to a local professional? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/protecting-my-new-shoes#post-1837846 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:01:54 +0000 Emily K 1837846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair of shoes that have been on my want-list for a long time. &nbsp;Before I wear them, though, I would like to protect them against soil and moisture with one of the waterproofing sprays. &nbsp;I'm concerned about putting product on the elastic band, though. &nbsp;Do any of you own these shoes (or similar) and have advice about stain-guarding them? &nbsp;I stain-guard all my shoes, but always have qualms about doing so on fancy leathers or fabrics.</p> <p>PS--This purchase solves my white loafer dilemma! &nbsp;I'm still on the lookout for white sandals for warmer weather. </p>
