I too was scared about wearing suede shoes thinking that since you can't polish them, they would quickly wear beyond an acceptable level. Your videos are the reason I bought a pair of suede Cleverley RTW derbies, so I thank you (though my checkbook does not).

Great video, Kirby. Some really terrific tips. I've always been afraid of wearing my suede shows for fear of getting them dirty or soiled. Your tips will certainly help me to keep them looking nice. Again, my thanks.

I am just about to (long overdue), deep clean 6 pairs of suede shoes - this is just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊

I just purchased a sage colored suede derby pair of shoes... my very first suede ones, so here I am to get advice from your videos. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks Kirby, love all your videos, I recently bought my first premium pair of boots and i polished them with the help of your tutorial. You are doing great job. Im 21 but fall in love with premium shoes already

i was scared to add the saphire reno spray and protector to my new Thursday honey suede boots since they have the weather protecting coating on the boots already. good to say no adverse reaction to the new pair occurred . looks even better as it gave the suede a better shine to the color.

Love your videos Kirby.
I recently bought some roughout suede Chelsea boots.
I've had conflicting advice about caring for them, ranging from using suede brush and Saphir suede sprays to wax leather cream.
I did try a bristle brush which just seemed to scratch them.
Grateful for your advice.

Hi thanks for the great video! The Saphir Suede eraser is quite expensive compared to other brands. Just wanted to know is there much difference between them?

I'm a bit late to the party with this video but appreciate the info. I have some black nubuck boots and wondered whether to get the neutral or black renovateur spray. My only concern with the black spray is that my boots have a natural welt that I don't want to stain. You mention in your video that it's more of a tint than anything though so please let me know which you'd recommend. Thanks.

Your video was very informative, thank you Kirby! Definitely know what my next shoe care purchases will be

[lullemans]

i had to come back to this video as i recently needed to care for my suede shoes. there's one part on the toe of my shoes that has a slight discoloration, and it's something i just don't like. this video will help for sure.

Thanks for your videos!
Just a question: you brush your leather and suede shoes every time you finish wearing them?

[matiasgibbs]

just bought a pair of suede chukkas and I'm afraid I could stain them with my dark denim jeans. Any tips to prevent suede shoes to get stained by denim? Thanks

[marktheseniormillenial]

Thank you Kirby for explaining proper use of all these Saphir products. The Avel website is hopeless, descriptions and instructions differ from the French version to the English version and the Valmour website is no better. If you get around to answering this, could you expand on the Nappa balm? I saw the Alex Petrossian video and noticed he does what I do, which is to use Nappa instead of Renovateur on all my calf shoes- it seems to condition better- What do you think about this?

[AnonNotAnonymous]

Kirby, great video! I love black suede shoes and I purchased the renovatour spray in black from your site...In my experience one thing I’ve noticed with black suede is that when I brush them or use a suede eraser, they tend to look faded and lose the deep black that I love about them. Could also be my nit-pickiness. Any advice on maintains that deep black other than the renovatour spray in black?

[wdc]

How does the Renovateur work on a nubuck that has recently been waterproofed with InVulner? Should you allow the waterproofing wear off a bit before applying the Renovateur?
Great video. Thanks.

Hi Kirby I love the videos of shoe care and they have helped me out a lot. I have a question about a pair of Allen Edmonds waxed suede shoes I recently purchased. What type of care products do I need to maintain the shoes? Thanks.

[DarthJabba]

Great video. I've just ordered a few Saphir products from your website. I have many different colored shoes and was wondering which would be preferred, (1) use a neutral cream polish and color matching wax polish or (2) use a color matched cream polish and use a neutral wax polish? Will it be a big drop off in appearance vs color matching both cream and wax polish?
