I thought there is no more hope. With rain and snow that hits London early this year, there's no way to avoid from water drops being splashed to the shoes that I wore. And wearing suede, the effect is even heightened coz water marks really show tremendously. Like on my Jimmy Choo boots. Water marks ruins the whole look, though I keep on wearing the boots despite the stains all over. (Kinda deconstructed look, lol!)
Until last weekend, upon having my quick tour at Covent Garden I went into Aldo shoe store. And being 'introduced' to this brush by the sales assistant. It's the suede and nubuck brush. My lifesaver of the day. Without thinking much, I bought it and tried it on a couple of suede shoes that I have. (I'm really into suede right now :D)
My verdict? I just can't believe how 'magical' this little brush is. At first I was quite sceptical whether my Jimmy boots could be saved coz just by looking at it I thought there is no way for the water marks to disappear. But voila! The pix below says it all. On the left is the one after brushing, on the right is prior brushing. Awesome.
After completion - they look like new! Just like the first time I brought it home. I just can't believe my eyes when I saw the results. (No, there's no camera trick here :D)
And to further protect the suede, the sales asisstant recommends me to use the special spray for leather and suede. So that whenever there's splash of water to it, it won't leave stains. Does it work? I tried it on the boots that I've just 'cleaned' and spray this thing on, and then splash some water to it. Yeah, water do leave the mark - but listen to this, in less than 5 minutes, there's no stains! Whaa...? For real? Yes. No joke. And I love those products. Cheap but work magic. =)
