Don't RUIN Your Suede Shoes & Boots | Waterproof Your Suede & Nubuck 

Trenton & Heath Hi please tell me can I use these products on my suede jacket.

I love your style. Humble but stylish.

When you reapply the waterproofed, do you recondition them also? Do you need to use suede cleaner first?

Why do people want suede shoes?

Is this spray safe to use on light colored boots?

I now can’t stop looking at it...

You bastard, now I can’t see anything else lol.

Ahahaha it’s killing me !

Even neglected suede footwear with stains can be cleaned, conditioned, and waterproofed. No need to throw them away !

thepowderriverfarrier Definitely appreciate that!! We don’t have the most “entertaining” videos on RU-vid, but we definitely try our best to provide informative videos to help our fellow ladies and gents out.

Yeah it really pisses me off how these guys have good content.

Thanks to them for giving me the info I need.

Exactly. Methods they suggest are used mostly by fashion oriented people who prioritize look of specific leather texture over utility which by itself is perfectly ok, but it's early trap for people who just started to take care of their boots to make them last longer and don't know any better. Felt in it myself. Waterproofers in aerozols wear down with pretty much any mechanical contact leather takes, putting one leg on the other, walking through grass/leaves, leaning boot against any surface - it stays almost only on the outside. So no outdoor work to be done, no camping, no trekking, walking with dog, this and any simmiliar activity will provide enough natural scraping to wear down the layer over time and water will sink right through the entire thickness. It's either accepting heavy coating with grease or wax based products and embracing changed look, or accepting that untreat open pore leathers will just absorbe water like sponge and any dirt coming with it too.

The Amateur Listener same here. How about giraffe skin too?

Justin Gonzales Good deal! Glad it helped. 👍🏻

It depends on how frequent you wear them in moisture. I would suggest re-applying the water-repellent spray every 4-6 months if you're wearing your shoes/boots everyday.

I'm just getting here now, so you're two years ahead of me! Lol.

I wouldn't, but that's just me. Find out what it does to your feet.😀

I do. My feet sweat, so a lot of moisture goes through. That damp then dry process is bad for leather.

Theodore Skrodzki Good deal! Better late than never. 😉

I got myself suede Chelsea boots as of yesterday. I googled this video and have looked around for the best spray for my brown suede shoes. The spray if neutral means it has no added pigments therefore it should be okay to use and the most versatile option. I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong. I'm not a shoe expert.

I've waxed suede boots before using Sno-Seal, and it's a very effective form of water proofing in and of itself. So in most cases, I would consider the spray redundant if it's indeed been given a liberal wax coating.

Wow ! Sounds like they’re Gorgeous ! 😍😍😍 Love Pumas

@@mariahcantu7668 Yeah I love their suede shoes

I have the same question. Did you ever find your answer?

bjbt0586 Not a bad idea! Grab some from us next time and save 15%. 😉

Thank you very much! We’re glad to hear it.

Kenneth Martinez You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.

travis scott 1s?

Good deal! It definitely makes a big difference.

Good question. Condition and rotation. Heat will pull out moisture just like our skin and sweat will get soaked into the leather.

Very nice! Enjoy!

Rain in England?!? Huh? 🤣

YOu know I used to see rubber overshoes when I was a kid but I never see them anymore. I would nab them if I did. Are they around?

@@notaclue822 www.tingleyrubber.com/collections/over-the-shoe Tingley seems to make good ones. All I have is a pair of totes overshoes but they're only good for slim and tapered shoes, not wide

From a quick search it looks like they just proof the suade at the factory with a DWR. It will likely last longer than the sprays you can get commercially, but eventually you will have to reproof them.

Henning Nilsen so no need to waterproof immediately

It just means that the leather is pretreated at the factory. Unless its a sealed construction they are not actually waterproof, they are only water resistant. If thats the case, water will still leak through the seams. I hate it when companies make a claim like that. Its very misleading.

Kelly Taylor I understand that, I don't think they are claiming that the shoe is entirely waterproof, just that the suede is pretreated. My assumption is that it will need to eventually be treated again, but for now, it's ready to wear out of the box.

@@ryanrobicheaux3896 Yep. Its pretty common now. Only hoping to clarify. The distinction isn't obvious to everyone, but it is important. Especially if you live in certain climates.

Rika Allodola There are several products that can get rid of those pesky salt stains. A vinegar/water mixture is one. Another is a product we carry online. potterandsons.com/collections/shoe-cleaners/products/winter-stain-remover

You may want to lincoln suede clean them first

Some manufacturers do (I think Thursday Boots does) but it wears off after a while so needs to be re applied every now and then. I think every few months? Not sure

I’d really like to know the answer to this question, too!

My question too!

Who’s Pete?
