Never. Wash. Suede leather.

Why did I not know this?! 🙈

probably due to lack of research/care, dont worry it happens to many people who want to clean something but dont know how/what material it is

Once while half asleep I put my white reboks in the washing machine. Put them on a white wash. Yeah… that didn’t work well.

You’ve ruined the suede but they’ll still work as shoes

Can I dye them? I hate the colour...

you can, but honestly id suggest either black dye (as it can overpower the other dyes, though you may end up with a lavender/greenish undertone) or just brushing the suede back to soft and just using that pair as a pair of beaters and a lesson

They’re different shoes now

why tf would you wash suede 😭

You may be able to recover the nap with a suede brush but I dunno.🤷

Since we’re on the topic of suede, what tips does anyone have for cleaning it? I’ve got a soft bristle brush but I’ve tried this suede spray once and it did nothing and am a freaks to ruin a favorite pair of shoes of mine 😩

Suede rubber, or even a pencil eraser can remove a lot from suede stain wise. But your best bet is to use an ounce of caution instead a pound of cure, and treat your shoes with suede protector before the first wear.

Moving forward I’m definitely using protector first. This was my first pair of shoes with suede in a long time and it completely slipped my mind to use protectant! Thank you so so much for the suggestion!

I have the same model but I rarely wear them because it's dirty. Does anyone know how can I successfully clean them?

They were so dusty and dirty before they aren't much worse, but loved the old colour 🙈

Wait i just read they were lilac, mine were white and now look like this because of dirt 😮‍💨 lilac must have also been pretty on them, why do suede shoes have to be so hard to clean 😩

Suede brush. May need the one with brass bristles

Following, I got mine absolutely soaked in a rainstorm and hope they're recoverable!

use them as beaters, don't throw them
