1. Remove Dust and Dirt:
Use a dedicated horsehair brush to eliminate dirt and dust from your shoes; avoid using the same brush for polishing your calf shoes.
2. Restoring The Nap:
Use a crepe rubber suede brush to restore and draw out the nap. Apply gentle pressure, allowing the crepe to naturally grip the nap. Suede is highly durable against the elements, so steps one and two should suffice for your weekly regimen.
Though suede shoes require regular brushing to restore the nap and remove any dirt or debris, excessive brushing can lead to the flattening of the suede fibers. Finding the right balance is crucial for keeping suede shoes in optimal condition.
Aditional tips
Shoe Trees
Wooden shoe trees aid in evenly distributing brushing strokes, ensuring that the entire shoe receives a thorough brush.
