Essential Tips for Caring for Suede Shoes

Suede shoes exude a softer, more casual appeal than their polished leather counterparts. However, proper care is essential to maintain their look and longevity. This guide covers everything you need to know to keep your suede shoes looking fresh.

Suede has a unique texture that sets it apart. Its natural look is beloved by fashion enthusiasts, yet its porous nature means it requires special attention. At Oswin Hyde, our range of suede shoes is designed with quality in mind, and maintaining them properly ensures that they remain a staple in your wardrobe.

Begin by brushing your suede shoes gently with a suede brush to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause stains or damage the texture. For tougher stains, consider using a suede cleaner or a soft eraser designed specifically for suede. Once cleaned, apply a water- and stain-repellent spray to protect the surface. This treatment can extend the life of your shoes and preserve their soft texture.

In addition to cleaning, proper storage is key. Keep your suede shoes in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain their shape. If your shoes do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regular maintenance routines and gentle care will keep your suede shoes looking their best season after season.

With the right care, your suede shoes can continue to provide both comfort and style. Explore our collection at Oswin Hyde and follow these tips to ensure your suede remains as elegant and distinctive as the day you bought them.
