Suede Shoes

Suede is leather with napped surface. The under skins of animals like lambs, goats, pigs and deer are used to make this type of leather. What makes suede different from other types of leather is that it is not durable because it does not use the tough exterior of the animal skins. And quite unlike other varieties of leather, as it uses the under skins of the animals, it is delicate and feels much softer.

It is because of its softer feel that Suede is used for making shoes, upholstery, bags and other accessories and what not. As Suede looks great and feels greater when compared with leather, anyone will desire quite naturally to own a pair of Suede shoes.

Though your feet will look great and feel even greater in a pair of Suede shoes, these shoes are quite delicate, and extra care needs to be taken to protect them against any possible damage. Do not polish them. Rather you will have to opt for preventive care. When you wear your new pair of Suede shoes, apply water and stain repellent. Repeat the practice frequently so that the pair of shoes lasts longer.

Brush your Suede shoes regularly. But do not use an ordinary brush. Use a Suede brush. Also buy a good Suede cleaner to remove a stain if there is any on your Suede shoes. It is better to test the cleaner on a small area first in order to ensure that it does not damage your shoes. If the stain is too deep, use Suede rubber over the surface of the stain to wipe it off your great looking pair of shoes. If all this does not help and the stain proves to be more obstinate than what you had imagined, visit a shoe repair shop.
