Get Jordan 1 Glitter outta your shoes

Those are nubuck/suede not regular leather, don't do some of the recommendations here or you're going to ruin them. They sell suede cleaners specifically for this type of shoes. I have a similar that I clean with a suede eraser and brush the eraser removes the stain and the brush restores the nap (texture).

I've been asked if I put on suede spray for these three recent shoes that that I bought: derby buck, brown cap toe oxford, and a Crepe sole (cheaper) chelsea boot.

Since they're all well under $100, even more so as I have a 25% discount code, I told someone that I don't bother, but I would if they were $200 to $500 shoes.

However, I did order a suede cleaning kit by Kiwi, and it seems to work well for these shoes.

For the most part, it's important to keep these shoes dry and avoid in (known) wet weather. However, minor water stains are oftentimes unavoidable, and the suede cleaning kit seems to do a satisfactory job.

I'm wondering if suede protector just isn't worth it. On the other hand, I regularly put rubber cement on the soles to avoid the soles wearing down, so the base of the shoes (too cheap to re-sole) last far longer than normal.

look around where you found it in the car to see if anything stained part of the car or what could have possibly leaked. i would try a suede cleaning kit that has an eraser and brush (no chemicals) and see if that could get it off. i think Jason Markk or Kiwi make an affordable kit for this. I think Target carries the Kiwi one in store too.

I got this to take care of my suede shoes, works wonders.

Ah, ok - good to see where you're coming from. Here's an excerpt from Clark's themselves:

Suede and Nubuck Leathers

• To clean, use a rubber eraser to remove dirt and smudges. Then, brush lightly with a soft brush specifically for suede and nubuck products.
• Care should be taken to brush in the same direction. If you brush in different directions, some suedes will give the appearance of being two different colors.
• Never use a wire brush or polish on suede or nubuck. (Some suede brushes do have wire in the center, which is specifically made for use on suede).


Here's some cleaner

This is the eraser/brush they talk about

As for shoetrees, I don't think you'll really need them for this style boot. But it couldn't hurt if you're really worried.

I might look for a more refined dress lace than the ones already on there.
