Just want to clarify folks. These sprays are only for everyday wear. By no means do you want to take your nice suede shoes and go trekking through rivers and alpine mountains after spraying them with a water repellent. It’s important to spray them in order to protect them from everyday wear (rain, oils, dirt, etc).
Trenton & Heath Hi please tell me can I use these products on my suede jacket.
I love your style. Humble but stylish.
When you reapply the waterproofed, do you recondition them also? Do you need to use suede cleaner first?
Why do people want suede shoes?
Is this spray safe to use on light colored boots?
Thx again fellas y’all are a life saver! Just got my Dad’s grey suede Chelsea boots out of the box was curious how to clean/shine them and with out fail y’all got several videos! Going to be turning heads and breaking hearts at this wedding I am attending for sure! 😆
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful . Also thank you for the links , it saves me time and frustration !
Action starts at 4:46 you're welcome.
Just seen your video and you gained a follower!! Keep adding adding value 🔥
Yall are just straight up Gs. Best content ever.
Hey Trenton & Heath. Perfect timing on this video! I was just thinking about investing in some suede boots soon
Justin Gonzales Good deal! Glad it helped. 👍🏻
Thanks! Much needed info!
super helpful! thank you for this!
So informative! I just wish I had discovered this channel years ago. Thank you so much!
I'm just getting here now, so you're two years ahead of me! Lol.
Great tips!
Thank you!
Hey Trenton & Heath, great tutorial. Thank you! Do you have a video on how you are supposed to care for Terracotta-style leather boots? (Wax, products, etc?).
Always enjoy your content 👍
Thank you very much! We’re glad to hear it.
Good advise!! thanks. I've subscribed with notifications.
You just saved my new arborist $600 boots from a Friday first wear. It’ll be Monday now, and thanks a million
Just what I needed!
Good deal! It definitely makes a big difference.
I could have saved a few pairs of suede shoes that I tossed out for not waterproofing them. It was more the stains than regular water than ruined them. Lesson learned, thanks for that.
Even neglected suede footwear with stains can be cleaned, conditioned, and waterproofed. No need to throw them away !
Thank you i was going to buy some off white and this vid helped allot
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for this! Going to buy those suede flats now and those sprays of course. 💓 Can I also use this for handbags?
I wouldn't throw away my Uggs boots if I knew that. I came here for my Suede shoes for Spring. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! Love y’all content so helpful!
Great vid!!
Protect your investment 👍🏼👍🏼
Good video, but I couldn't get over the fact that your apron strap was folded
I now can’t stop looking at it...
You bastard, now I can’t see anything else lol.
Ahahaha it’s killing me !
Very informative, thanks
Priceless knowledge
Very well done sir
This works. I just treated two new pairs of suede AE Nomads with Renovateur, and today, Super Invulner, and they passed the water test. First I tried droplets, and they beaded up. Then I poured water over an area, and it just poured off. Amazing! These products are not cheap, but they work. Follow-up question: My beautiful new white Nomad bucks do show signs that the white dye or pigment will eventually wear thin. What product do you recommend when it’s time to renew them? I was thinking the sort of sneaker whitener sold by Kiwi and other brands. Or do you have a different idea? Thank you.
Starting to make me mad now . Been through every one of their videos and there's nothing, absolutely nothing, wrong with any of them! Nothing but good useful information from two guys looking out for their customers and viewers. It's getting to be pretty obvious they're working as hard on their videos as they are in the shop providing quality workmanship. This particular video comes in real handy this time of year. Thanks guys.
thepowderriverfarrier Definitely appreciate that!! We don’t have the most “entertaining” videos on TH-cam, but we definitely try our best to provide informative videos to help our fellow ladies and gents out.
Yeah it really pisses me off how these guys have good content.
Thanks to them for giving me the info I need.
Great timing. Just had some suede shoes made in Spain. Heading to England next week where it might have high humidity I am told.
Very nice! Enjoy!
Rain in England?!? Huh? 🤣
This site rocks!!!
Hi, thanks for uploading, super informative! Would the water repellent spray work well on suede sneakers as well as shoes? And is it suitable for all colors of suede, or only certain types?
Got a pair of suede Chelsea’s the other day. I have to admit I’ve worn them before waterproofing them. I do have some waterproofing spray coming in the mail though.
Theodore Skrodzki Good deal! Better late than never. 😉
Hey Trenton, did you spray the conditioner first the the waterproofing on your tutorial? I have some Vans canves tennis shoes can you do a tutorial on how I can keep them clean & stay white? Thank you so much. Have a great day
Great informative video. What wax did you use on the heel block and the welt?
Would the invulner spray work on sneakers/Jordan’s? Seems like a better alternative to the sneaker sprays that fog dark leather
Would like to see you renovate a pair of beat up suede shoes/boots!
The Amateur Listener same here. How about giraffe skin too?
Hello! I really enjoy watching you guys at work. Can you please help me? What is the best care for buffalo leather? Thank you and greetings from Germany
Great video. I have new oiled nubuck boots. Would you use the renovateur on oiled nubuck before waterproofing ? Boots are for city use not hiking
I have Thursday explorers in dark olive suede would love a video on them.
I have a weird question, can you remove the dye from suede shoes? I got a great deal on 1000 mile boots with a camo print that I am not a big fan of, so I am planing to dye them brown. I am worried if I do not remove or lighten the camo print it might show through when I dye them brown. I have a test piece of the leather and was gonna try using acetone, then dye, brush them smooth, and then a conditioner. Also is it possible to burnish or smooth suede with wax or gum trag? Love the videos! Thank You!
Thank you for this very informative video. I just received a Pair of Toms light pink suede booties. BC they are so light colored, is everything you explained the same???? . Do I need to adjust the spray further away. I’m scared BC I don’t want to ruin the color with droplet stains. Also should I spray then one let it dry and then do it again. I was told by the store to apply protector 1 time, wait 24 hrs. And spray a 2 nd time. Also what do you mean by the wax? Is that the wax for smooth leather to apply to the heel and around the part that goes all around the bootie. Sorry for so many ?????? Thank you in advance. Very helpful guys. ❣️
Thanks for the recommendation, just got some pretty powder blue suede Pumas and I want to keep them nice
Wow ! Sounds like they’re Gorgeous ! 😍😍😍 Love Pumas
@@mariahcantu7668 Yeah I love their suede shoes
I assume the conditioner has no negative effects on the suede although it doesn't seem unreasonable to avoid saturation. Maybe too much humidity rots the leather? What about these waterproofing sprays? Is sealing the leather going to make the shoe not breathable?
Just got some new winter boots with Nubuck, and bought a waterproof spray too, so this is very handy information, thank you. Will try to take good care of them for more than the first 5 months :P Got some leather mittens too, so need to take care of those too so they last.
I have some older sued/Nubuck shoes too that haven't been taken care of. Is there a preferred way of cleaning them before treating them like you mention in this video?
Hi and thanks for the video. I wear hiking boots (Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX) every day, I work in a jungle in Panama where it rains 7 months a year. What waterproofing method can you recommend me? Thanks in advance from a Venezuelan viewer!
Great video! Does it work if I only use the super invulner and did not condition them suede beforehand?
Hi. I’m making a bag out of suede and watched a few of your suede videos. Would you recommend waxing a suede purse? I’m using light suede and don’t want the bottom to get dirty. Any reason not to treat a purse the same way as a shoe? Thanks for your awesome videos! 🙏🙏
Hi, I have a pair of Pajar fur boots, that actually gave a light fur over the Suede on the outside of the boot Csn I spray the fur with the protector and conditioner thst you are using. These Pajar boots are made in Italy and they are using all the Glamorous Furs and whatnot . Thanks.
Can you please write exact names of what you apply first and second on shoes? Thank you 🙏
👍Great! Thank you. 💞
Great video. Quick question - since I want to keep reconditioning the boots every few months (wear several times a week) - does the waterproofing spray stop the conditioner spray from penetrating?
I make holsters and use Resolene to seal in the color and provide protection to the leather. Ever try it on shoes?
How would you advise "uncurling" the shoes sole? My boot toes curl up because i wasnt using a tree. Thanks in advance!
Always test things on Pete's shoes!
Who’s Pete?
Can you do a review on Charles Tyrwhitt Goodyear welt shoes/boots? Also Oliver Cabell boots?
How about reapplication? Frequency and preparation
And when cleaning dirt off with a brush or eraser will that not remove the protective spray? Should reapplication happen after a thorough brush?
How about cleaning sticky particles that haven't rolled off the shoe completely-a little water?
Thank you!
Exactly. Methods they suggest are used mostly by fashion oriented people who prioritize look of specific leather texture over utility which by itself is perfectly ok, but it's early trap for people who just started to take care of their boots to make them last longer and don't know any better. Felt in it myself. Waterproofers in aerozols wear down with pretty much any mechanical contact leather takes, putting one leg on the other, walking through grass/leaves, leaning boot against any surface - it stays almost only on the outside. So no outdoor work to be done, no camping, no trekking, walking with dog, this and any simmiliar activity will provide enough natural scraping to wear down the layer over time and water will sink right through the entire thickness.
It's either accepting heavy coating with grease or wax based products and embracing changed look, or accepting that untreat open pore leathers will just absorbe water like sponge and any dirt coming with it too.
So I just bought a pair of suade tecovas , ? So I say the video where you add the rubber flap at the toe to mid , I kinda want to sent my boots to you guys and maybe darken them ? Shot in the dark , either way you have turned me on to the understanding of good shoes.
Thanks. Jimi
Nice informative video . I have some ASICS suede shoes . After cleaning them with water and soap, I brush them , instead of mink oil can I use baby oil ? Then brush again to spread it and then use wax paste for cars ? 😁 or I will mess them ?
Hello,
I've been wondering for a long time whether the suede leather doesn't become brittle and dry and hard if it's only ever treated with sprays.
Doesn't suede need grease and wax at some point?
I realize that this will change the look of the leather.
Greetings Robby
No mention of what wax you are using in the 'listen products' in the description. Can we please share this as I don't want to ruin my beige suede shoes with something glossy if glossy is not the answer. thanks
Thank you for this I am thinking about buying a Air Jordan shoe with mostly suede
Kenneth Martinez You’re welcome! Thank you for watching.
travis scott 1s?
On some sites, the description of the Saphir Renovateur Spray also says it waterproofs suede? Can you comment on how true that is? Thanks
Hey man, quick question, what do I clean them with? I made a mistake to take them out on a rainy day without spraying them first, is there any kind of cleaner you recommend for nubuck before applying the spray? So the stains don't stick?
Will this be applicable on the footbed of birkenstocks? because your foot will be constantly rubbing on the suede anyway so any waterproofing spray would just rub off immediately. Do you have any care tips for suede when they're used as footbed?
This is probably a silly question, when do customers bring their shoes in the shop? What issues can be addressed? Is it just to fix soles, stains, etc?
Did this to my Geox U Dublin A suede boots before wearing them. I used Jason Markk Repel. A lot cheaper than the product featured, pump sprayer and no nasty smells.
First day I wore them, the weather forecast lied to me and I monsooned. Can't tell you how relieved I was after seeing the water just roll off the boots.
does the invulner spray last forever until you use it in harsh weather then you reapply?
Interesting video, I have a new Ostrich leather watch strap.
It is pure ostrich leather, and doesn't look as if it is treated / protected in any way. I am concerned about it marking, could I use this kind of spray protector on the strap or would it damage it?
Great video! Quick question - is it OK to brush up nubuck (or suede) after applying water repellent? Or will it remove the repellent?
Are those apoint shoes any good? Do you have a review on them? I've been looking at a pair and I'm torn
Hi.. How would you compare and/or rate Scotchguard brand spray for protecting brand new boots? I just purchased ( buy have not used Wolverine mens Legend work boots ( already claimed by the manufacturer as waterproof, but I will be using them for interior remodeling, painting , etc.) I know that Scotchguard is used to protect vehicle interior fabrics. Are the products you demonstrated better than or different than Scotchguard? Thanks! Great video info!
Hey @Trenton , do you have a way to stretch a suede boots at home ?
I have this suede boot as birthday gift but don’t wanna damage it using water ?
Almost every video or article in the internet about conditioning/waterproofing suedes with oils or waxes I have found altered the color a shade or two darker and changed the look and finish of the suede to a more smooth leather like..
Are there any workaround to this issue?
I like my matte finish camel tan suede chelsea boots as it is and don't want to ruin the color or the texture while protecting it from dirt and water.
Experts are warmly welcomed to drop a few tips here.
You used a darker suede shoe, with lighter colors, will that spray permanently darken the color of the suede? I would hate to buy a cream colored suede shoe and have it wind up being darker brown in an attempt to protect is from water. Thanks.
Nice video, could you able to do a video how to clean suede shoes?
M G Absolutely! Coming soon.
Is there any way to undo/remove the waterproofing? I sprayed it on my sandals with suede upper/lining and leather insole, and now it's too stiff and cuts into my feet.
What is it (specific ingredients) about the Saphir brand that make you recommend it over any other suede protector? Besides the nice packaging, what sets it apart from the rest?
What do you think of Bickmore's Gard-More waterproofing spray?
When you say wax on the welt area, what kind of wax are you talking about? Just regular Shoe Polish Wax? Like a Neutral color? I was looking for the wax in your links below except I didn't see anything. Thanks for your response.
Has your shop ever refurbished anything like Sperry Topsiders? Is it possible with rubber soles?
Hi-would you use this waterproofer on a pair of colored suede sneakers as well?
I’m looking to get a pair of shoes that combines canvas and suede. Is it okay if these get on the canvas part? I want to make sure I know how to care for them before I get them.
Is it possible to overspray shoes?
I know I tend to go a little heavy on the two coats but I’m wearing leather/suede sneakers..
What wax would you recommend for the leather soled shoe to put around the edges?
I have a pair of allen edmonds 6513 nomad chelsea boots in nubuck. The website says its a waterproofed nubuck, is it still recommended to do this procedure to my shoes?
What kind of wax are you using? Just ordered the sprays.
I have a suede jacket, can I use the same products on that, too? Otherwise great and informative videos, keep them up!
Yup
Can I still spray the waterproofing on my nubuck sketchers after wearing them a month?
hi, I have a pair of green derby’s… the suede fibre has become strangely long and loose due to regular brushing and cleaning over time… i clean my shoes properly and use suede spatter spray which makes them look new but couple of days wearing brings out the fabric again and the shoes looks pretty bad with shade spots due to long strands… kindly suggest if the same can be fixed… thanks…
I made a mistake and sprayed one of my nubuck shoes with a Nylon protectant spray. What should I do?
this is just an ad for saphir products. Bickmore clan represent
What about using products like Sno Seal or Mink Oil paste?
Does the same wisdom hold true for any suede/nubuck product like purses/handbags, and jackets? Will these products work well on lambskin products which are the worst for dye transfers from darker leather, clothes especially dark denim and jeans?
I just bought an expensive pair of brown suede boots.
I want to Waterproof and protect them. Do I need 2 different types of spray.
I just ordered
Saphir Medaille d'Or Suede Renovator - Neutral
Do I need another spray, also?
Could you make a video on how to wax suede shoes.
my question is that after the waterproof spray, will brush damage the waterproof film
Stared at the twisted shoulder strap the entire video
Would this treatment also work for Timberland original boots?
But on the website where I'm buying them from, it says the Renovateur is waterproof aswell, so why should we apply both that one and Super Invulner after it?
P.S. Can I put both sprays on regular leather aswell or it's suede only?
