I've watched several of your videos and few of them I've watched multiple times. This is one of the multiple-view videos. I am in the process of restoring a few high-end handbags, some with suede accents, and with the guidance in this video and the products mentioned, good results are assured. I've seen so many strange approaches to cleaning leather and suede so when I want to know what won't damage my item, I come here. As a funny sidebar, I now look at cleaning/polishing any leather/suede item and think "Hmmm, what would Kirby do?" /laughing Thanks for all you do.
Am thinking about picking up a pair of Carmina suede penny loafers..was on the fence since I've only ever owned calfskin, but this video is giving me the reassurance that I can clean and maintain them.
Thanks for a video. But I must say that was a total overuse of shampoo. Personally, I use it either neat or diluted 1:1 with water. When it's neat the cleaning goes much more dryer. There is still lather but less water. Probably good for very delicate suede. Anyway, for me it's enough about 1oz of shampoo(neat or diluted) on a pair. Looking this video one may suggest a100ml bottle is only good enough for two cleanings))
Hello Mr. Kirby, thank you for this very helpful tutorial. I'll ask you two important questions. After using the super invulner, how should I take care of my shoes? Can I brush my shoes daily? After two or three weeks can I use Renovatur again and brush them daily? Thank you so much for your attention.
Great content ! Will you issue in the future a video about cleaning suede-and-leather shoes? I'm always concerned when cleaning mines and they now need a deep one...
In philly there are some shister shoe repair guys they all tell me they cant get my suede Allen Edmonds really clean, I gotta invest in some of this stuff here.
How do you get rings out of the suede from the Renovateur? The Saphir Omni'Nettoyant Suede Shampoo didn't take them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just bought a new pair of AE Tate Chukka Suede boots. I got the Saphir water proofing spay that you used in this review. I would assume I should put it on the boots before I wear them the 1st time? Do you use the brush after the application of the water proofing has dried or wait a while before using a brush. I have the Saphire Crape Wood Brush to use on the boots. Thanks again for all your great content.
Dear Kirby, I have several pairs of suede /nubuck sneakers which also has leather on it. Can I use the saphir products to spray on top of the shoes which also has leather on it?
@Kirby Allison, does this process also works on Waxed suede shoes? or should I threat those differently? the specific leather I am asking for is Charles F. Stead Waxy Commander
Great Video, I now know how to better take care of my suede shoes. I have a question, I have a pair of blue suede derbys and there is some integration of leather being on the shoes so how do I wash them? Also would using a blow dryer to dry the shoe quickly damage the shoe?
What about shoes that have leather and suede? Any tips for keeping the suede cleaner/waterproofing off of the leather and the leather creams/polish off of the suede? Thanks
Can you tell me please the brand of the dessert boots you are cleaning? they look so beautiful.. Thanks, and thanks for the video, it was the mot useful I´d ever seen about cleaning suede shoes...
Hi Kirby - looking to purchase a pair of suede chukka boots but I can’t seem to find ones that catch my eye. Until I watched this video… Are these custom? Or would you mind sharing a name for a first chukka boot. Thanks a lot.
Thanks! I always wanted to find a great suede shoe care video! Really helpful! I also own a pair of Suede Chukka. Can I use a crepe brush to re-fluff after cleaning? (I bought the crepe brush together with a pair of TImberland original suede yellow boots...I assume I can use the same techniques in this video?)
I have a pair of suede Ugg ankle booties that the blue from the jeans I often wear tucked in or rolled up with then has rubbed off on. Is there a way to get blue dye out of them. It is all around the top of the bootie. It makes me sick as they are my absolute favorite booties!
I’ll be honest, before I came across this channel I didn’t know shoes needed to be maintained... I throw away a pair of leather shoes after each winter. Granted they’re pretty cheap
Hi Kirby can you perform this routine on the material alcantara.. specifically for a car steering wheel? I know it’s a little off topic but I’d be interested to know if it would have the same cleaning effect.. much appreciated if you could reply
kirby i have a newly acquired suede jacket and am wondering how to get a out a certain stain that developed. would these saphir products & method work on jackets as well? would love some feeback!
Kirby, if I use the Brown suede conditioner spray on a black suede shoe that should be fine yes? As I have a brown and a black pair of suede shoes I figured I could get away with just getting the brown conditioner spray?
I'm adding this question as a top-level thread in case someone else is wondering the same. I have been charged with dying a very deep blue, nearly black, pair of Ecco loafers. Because the shoes are so deeply pigmented already, I'm thinking I could properly prepare the shoes [as shown here] and then use Saphir Renovateur Suede & Nubuck Conditioning Spray in black. I don't think I need to go to the point of Saphir Decapant then Saphir Teinture Francaise Dye, however, it's worth a sanity check.
The pigment on the Saphir Renovating Suede & Nubuck sprays are not meant to change the color. The pigment is quite light (similar to a shoe polish) and is meant only to accent or fill-in an already-existing finish. You could try it, but I don't want to guarantee it will deliver the exact results you are looking for because I've never tested it in this application.
That makes sense. With regard to dye, some suede and leather dyes [not acrylic paints] seem to leave a purplish cast. Does the Saphir Teinture Francaise black give a true black finish (assuming correct preparation and application)?
kongmw The Tarrago Nano super effective - I just don't like to use it on my nicer shoes because it is so effective it prevents you from shampooing Suede later on. Saphir Super Invulner just as effective, but not as permanent.
Do these products work on shoes that are made with different colour suede. I have a few pairs of suede Oxford brogue shoes that are made with 2 and sometimes 3 different colours of suede. I call them Gatsby's because they evoke the two tone style of the 20s but I don't know if there is another name for them. The shoes themselves are quite expensive (Purchased in Jermyn Street, London), and so I don't want to mess up caring for them. I also have a pair that are mixed materials with a strong canvas laid over leather and calf leather toe cap and sides. These are in a Derby style. They are two tone as well (Chestnut Brown leather and camel colour canvas. What should I use on them? Any advice and recommendations for products are greatly appreciated.
I really like the Saphir Renovateur Suede Spray and the Super Invulner, and use both after cleaning with the Omni'Nettoyant. I follow up with using the Super Invulner every once in a while. But when do I use the Renovateur again? I wasn't sure when to spray the Renovateur again. Wouldn't spraying the Renovateur over Invulner prevent it from being absorbed into the suede?
I would recommend using the Saphir Renovating Suede & Nubuck Spray periodically. Basically, it is reapplying a light pigment and helping to condition the suede. Definitely after using the Omni'Nettoyant, though. But otherwise, every few months.
What's the difference between the suede cleaning brush and the regular suede brush? According to your site, they are both for cleaning and refreshing the pile.
I have suede and grain calf saddle shoes. Is it bad to treat them as all suede the way you've done here and then simply polish the grained calf afterward? Getting grained calf wet isn't such a big deal; it's not like my other grained calf shoes never get rained on.
I believe the navy pigmented Saphir Renovating Suede and Nubuck Spray was discontinued. I think that's why we don't carry it any more, and haven't for years.
Is there a way to bring back a nap on the toes of suede shoes where they are worn a bit shiny? Thanks! And another topic: you've gotten lots of advice on pronouncing these Saphir brand French words correctly, some of which is kinda ok, and some totally wacky! Just type in the words in Google Translate and hit the "out loud" icon. She does it right! Au revoir et donnez-nous plus de conseils en daim!
I have a question. How to make a leather shoes (light beige open leather) back to life ?The leather is quite hard and realy not as soft as it used to be. thanks
Do you have to use Renovateur spray on new shoes? When is it necessary to nourish suede shoes with Renovateur? Can you do without this product if you keep them clean with a brush and apply Super Invulver spray? And will the Renovateur get through the Super Invulver to 'feed' the suede?
The Super Invulner will not feed the suede since it does not contain any of the almond oil used in the Saphir Renovateur Suede & Nubuck Spray. The Saphir Renovateur Spray does a good job conditioning (it's the only such product available) and help elevate the natural "shine" of suede. It wouldn't hurt to use on a new pair of suede shoes, but might not be totally necessary. As far as how often, I would recommend using it a few times a year. Of course, that depends on wear.

tq for your advise. Beside using some vinegar n water. Can I use Saphir Omni’nettoyant Suede Shampoo to clean my water stains marks shoe. I bought one already.
Christopher K Maybe the issue is that chairs have sponge inside. I’d probably shampoo the chair, then I’d use a damp towel to thoroughly wipe off shampoo, instead of running water on it.
Hi Kirby, Thanks for all the help in your videos. I have a questions regarding the cleaning of difficult stains in suede: What are your thoughts on drycleaning suede / having a dry-cleaner clean suede shoes? Have you ever done research into this area? Thanks in advance! Kevin
Also, you mentioned that the Super Invulner is safe on any leather. Would you recommend using it for normal calf skin dress shoes as part of routine care? If so, would it go over/after the polish and wax? Even with the polish/wax, I am concerned about the shoes getting water stains, so I was wondering if I should apply the Super Invulner on top of the polish/wax. If so, would that change the weekly/bi-weekly maintenance with regular polish/wax? Thank you, love your products!
If you are concerned about water stains, then the Saphir Super Invulner Medaille d'Or would be perfect for your calfskin shoes. And, yes, it is completely safe to use! It would be the last thing you apply. What's great about the Super Invulner is that it will not leave any rings and isn't forever permanent, like something like the Tarrago Nano Protector. One water stops to bead, just reapply.

Dear Kirby,
I work at a small leather shoe boutique that sells products from the likes of Alden, John Lobb, Tricker’s, and Paraboot. We recently received our order of the Invuner from the Kirby Allison store. It arrived quite fast! We appreciate it, however, the packaging paper seemed to have some small cockroaches nesting in it.
Great video, and thank you to your team for the timely delivery.
Cleaned my suede boots tonight. Came out great thanks to your video. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Kirby for the tutorial. I just shampooed my Sanders & Sanders Chukka - Chocolate Suede. They're already looking new.
you poured half the bottle of the shampoo into the water.. isnt that a bit much?
That’s what they want u to do. They want u to use it up faster so u buy more product. This is clearly an ad
Indeed it is. For one pair of shoes, i dont need more than 50ml-100ml water + around 10-20ml of shampoo.
indeed..cleaning doesnt require too much water like soaking..neither nor the shampoo..
Peter I was about to say the same thing. That’s expensive lol
I'd only expect that from someone who poured a bucket of water on their head before filming.
I've watched several of your videos and few of them I've watched multiple times. This is one of the multiple-view videos.

Hi Cori! Thank you!! Please keep us posted on how the restoration project goes and let me know if you have any questions! -Kirby
Thanks. You give me courage to purchase that suede chelsea boots i've been dreaming on but too afraid to take care of.
Am thinking about picking up a pair of Carmina suede penny loafers..was on the fence since I've only ever owned calfskin, but this video is giving me the reassurance that I can clean and maintain them.
Terrific vid - very helpful in an area that many find difficult. One point of critique: the product is Super In -- VUL-- ner, not Inulver or Indulver.
Thanks -- Thanks to your video I used a toilet brush to restore my suede Merrills. They look much much better now.
Good to see TH-cam CEO sharing his way on how to clean suede shoes.
I love how you pronounce French names that's fun :D
Thanks for the great content ;)
Take a shot every time he says omni nettoyant
Michael Moreno, I’m getting drunk now! 😎
He keeps saying NET-TAN-YAHT for NET-TOY-YANT and Super IN-NUL-VER FOR IN-VUL-NER. At least try to pronounce the name of the product correctly.
Shot no 1
Shot no 2
*My shots are actually sips due to my not being a drunkard*

Amazing. Do you do a hair care tutorial too? Because it is 👌
Do you re-brush the suede AFTER applying the sprays? Saphir instructions seem to say so, but I would think that would remove the protection.
Excellent video. Very informative.
You are the finest Man EVER !!!
What if I do not see the difference between before and after of the tutorial you showed here? Can you please do tutorial on black suede? Thank you!
Does the Super Invulner reduce the ‘breathabilty’ of the suede?
what a nice thorough tutorial. Thanks!
How do you get rings out of the suede from the Renovateur? The Saphir Omni'Nettoyant Suede Shampoo didn't take them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Great video but I reckon the cost of all these Sapphir products is more than the price of most suede footwear out there
HI KIRBY -- is it okay to wet nubuck leather in the same way as suede, i.e. shampooing and running under the tap to wash off the suds? THANK YOU!
Just bought a new pair of AE Tate Chukka Suede boots. I got the Saphir water proofing spay that you used in this review. I would assume I should put it on the boots before I wear them the 1st time?

Are crepe brushes more appropriate for nubuck rather than suede? Notice you use a pig bristle brush in place of a crepe brush here.

Hi, Kirby Allison I have a question about for the Saphir Omni'Nettoyant Suede Shampoo can be used for your streetwear shoes and sneakers shoes thanks.
How much time should elapse between the renovateur and super invulner applications? Dry overnight again?
Thanks’
Can you tell me please the brand of the dessert boots you are cleaning? they look so beautiful.. Thanks, and thanks for the video, it was the mot useful I´d ever seen about cleaning suede shoes...
Again, youtube bring me a suede shoe video after a few weeks I bought my first suede pair, now I'm f*cking concern :)
Thanks for the walk through
Hi Kirby - looking to purchase a pair of suede chukka boots but I can’t seem to find ones that catch my eye.

Colin Cheng Absolutely. I actually highly recommend brushing suede after it’s cleaned. The suede nap needs to be brushed to refluff
Thank you for a great video! Did you use neutral or light brown conditioner for these shoes?
You’ve thought me how to care for shoes now it’s my turn to return the favor and teach you how to pronounce saphirs products 😉
What is the brand of chukka boots in the video Kirby? Thanks.
I have a pair of suede Ugg ankle booties that the blue from the jeans I often wear tucked in or rolled up with then has rubbed off on. Is there a way to get blue dye out of them. It is all around the top of the bootie. It makes me sick as they are my absolute favorite booties!
I’ll be honest, before I came across this channel I didn’t know shoes needed to be maintained... I throw away a pair of leather shoes after each winter. Granted they’re pretty cheap
Yer right. I pay £30-£40 on eBay and keep them beautiful for years!!!
What i was always wondering,buying a crepe soles shoes/boots,how do I repair worn heels,for exp?
Thank you very much, so helpful
Am i right in thinking that this process can be applied to cleaning a suede jacket? Thanks in advance
Hi Kirby can you perform this routine on the material alcantara.. specifically for a car steering wheel? I know it’s a little off topic but I’d be interested to know if it would have the same cleaning effect.. much appreciated if you could reply
Will the colour in the conditioner stick into the mid-sole and other white components on the shoes?
kirby i have a newly acquired suede jacket and am wondering how to get a out a certain stain that developed. would these saphir products & method work on jackets as well? would love some feeback!
I know it's been years but could you make a video on how to reset the nap
Will the waterproofing wear off after brushing each time? Do I need to respray everytime after brushing?
Great job were we can find those products?
Kirby, if I use the Brown suede conditioner spray on a black suede shoe that should be fine yes? As I have a brown and a black pair of suede shoes I figured I could get away with just getting the brown conditioner spray?
Thanks!
After conditioning, how long do i have to let the suede dry for before applying the waterproofing spray with these Saphir products?
Any recommendations on how to redye suede? My suede new balance MD1100BK's are the most comfortable dress shoes i own. Want them to be black again.
Hey Kirby, quick question: my car has suede all around the interior. Can I do the same to that? Or you wouldn't recommend? Thanks anyways.
vitor patriota Absolutely! I’d make sure you pick up one of our extra-large daubers, though.
Thnk you
What colour spray conditioner should I use on grey (pale ish grey) suede boots please?
How long is the spray waterproof protector last? Also, how often should I spray the waterproof to my suede shoes?
Yes. Apply the Saphir Super Invulner last. Reapply when water stops to bead.
Does this apply to white bucks as well?
Could you please provide the link to the chukka boots as well? Thank you!
Do you know what the difference is between this product and the Saphir Omnidaim?
The Saphir Omni'Nettoyant is the Medaille d'Or version is a higher concentration than the Saphir Omnidaim.
Thank you!
I'm adding this question as a top-level thread in case someone else is wondering the same. I have been charged with dying a very deep blue, nearly black, pair of Ecco loafers. Because the shoes are so deeply pigmented already, I'm thinking I could properly prepare the shoes [as shown here] and then use Saphir Renovateur Suede & Nubuck Conditioning Spray in black. I don't think I need to go to the point of Saphir Decapant then Saphir Teinture Francaise Dye, however, it's worth a sanity check.
What color are you trying to take them? Black?
Ugh, yes dyeing to black. I was twice interrupted by The Golf Shoe Project, which is a soliloquy of woe for another day. Heh.
The pigment on the Saphir Renovating Suede & Nubuck sprays are not meant to change the color. The pigment is quite light (similar to a shoe polish) and is meant only to accent or fill-in an already-existing finish.

Should be a true black.
Very useful video! Thanks for making this!
I'll have to give the super invulner a shot once I'm done with my can of nano protector
kongmw The Tarrago Nano super effective - I just don't like to use it on my nicer shoes because it is so effective it prevents you from shampooing Suede later on. Saphir Super Invulner just as effective, but not as permanent.

Dear Hanger Project Team, I wanted to ask you, how often should I apply the super invulner to insure my shoes stay protected? Thanks
anton bach Reapply once water stops beading. How often depends on use.
What's the difference between the suede cleaning brush and the regular suede brush? According to your site, they are both for cleaning and refreshing the pile.
Same products.
Is there like a camel\coffee color available Thanks Sir
thanks for the awesome videos. I was wondering what would you recommend for shoes with mixed leathers, for example calf leather and suede?
On mixed-material shoes, you have to treat each leather differently. Gets difficult!
The Hanger Project how would you avoid getting the spray for the suede into the calfskin?
If it's the Super Invulner, it won't matter. Will protect calf just the same. I'd probably not use any pigmented spray on suede/calf shoes.
I have suede and grain calf saddle shoes. Is it bad to treat them as all suede the way you've done here and then simply polish the grained calf afterward? Getting grained calf wet isn't such a big deal; it's not like my other grained calf shoes never get rained on.
The conditioning is also available in a navy pigment, though I'm don't that it's carried at the Hanger Project
I believe the navy pigmented Saphir Renovating Suede and Nubuck Spray was discontinued. I think that's why we don't carry it any more, and haven't for years.
Is it fine to use a neutral on a pair of navy nubucks?
Can u use this on nubuck and suede combat boots?
How long did you wait after conditioning the shoe before applying the waterproofing spray?
Tree It needs to be fully dry.
Does this work for velvet?
Is there a way to bring back a nap on the toes of suede shoes where they are worn a bit shiny? Thanks!

thanks
Moisturize it. Search up what products are best to do that
Kirby is not in the mood while filming this video. I can feel it. Lol
And how often do you clean suede/nubuck shoes this way?
Only when they look like they need it.
Do you have to use Renovateur spray on new shoes? When is it necessary to nourish suede shoes with Renovateur? Can you do without this product if you keep them clean with a brush and apply Super Invulver spray? And will the Renovateur get through the Super Invulver to 'feed' the suede?

Is sheepskin the same as suede? I have a pair sheepskin slippers that I really need to clean
Screwtape207 The Saphir Omni’Nettoyant can be used to clean almost any material, so it would work on your sheepskin also.
Do you bill ur clients for suede cleaning time?
What if you're trying to clean a pair of suede dress shoes with a leather sole? I'm not comfortable running leather soles under the faucet.
There is no reason you can't run a leather sole under the faucet. Especially if you immediately dry off any excess water.

Hi Kirby,
Thanks for all the help in your videos. I have a questions regarding the cleaning of difficult stains in suede: What are your thoughts on drycleaning suede / having a dry-cleaner clean suede shoes? Have you ever done research into this area?
Thanks in advance!

I've never heard of dry cleaning shoes... I'd be concerned about the tumbling. You can do an incredible job with the Saphir Omni'Nettoyant.
Also, you mentioned that the Super Invulner is safe on any leather. Would you recommend using it for normal calf skin dress shoes as part of routine care? If so, would it go over/after the polish and wax? Even with the polish/wax, I am concerned about the shoes getting water stains, so I was wondering if I should apply the Super Invulner on top of the polish/wax. If so, would that change the weekly/bi-weekly maintenance with regular polish/wax? Thank you, love your products!
If you are concerned about water stains, then the Saphir Super Invulner Medaille d'Or would be perfect for your calfskin shoes. And, yes, it is completely safe to use! It would be the last thing you apply.
What's great about the Super Invulner is that it will not leave any rings and isn't forever permanent, like something like the Tarrago Nano Protector. One water stops to bead, just reapply.
