From ancient times, there has been a strange taboo on suede shoes and how to clean them. Whether it’s a pair of Chelsea boots, loafers, Oxfords, or sneakers, if you tell someone that your shoes are suede, they will repeat the same old cliche: “Oh, suede… be careful not to get them dirty!” or “Why did you choose to wear suede?”. Firstly: mind your own business. Secondly: suede is one of the most durable materials in men’s clothing.

Furthermore, it’s not true that they can’t be cleaned. They can, indeed. If you are the type of person who is too afraid to take your shoes out of the box, if you feel like giving them some special attention, or if you’ve just had an accident and think it’s all over, and your suede shoes are ready to be thrown away, don’t worry: it’s not like that. Here’s how to clean your suede shoes from any stain.
