Many of us have a serious love for suede shoes and boots. It’s fall! There is no better time to pull those puppies out of the closet. Ensuring your suede footwear is protected is essential to maintaining the life of the fabric.
Water, dirt and the corrosive materials like the salt used to deice walkways and roadways are harmful to suede. Suede is a delicate material. So, if you haven’t done so already, ensure you use a suede protective spray to protect your suede footwear from the elements.
There are protective sprays made exclusively for suede. Make sure your boots are clean before applying. You want to ensure you cover the shoe or boot in its entirety and allow to dry completely before you bust them out to wear with that brand new cashmere sweater hanging in your closet.
As much as we would all love to wear our suede regardless of the weather conditions, its important to avoid wearing suede in wet weather.
