The story I posted with my latest look is true... I walked into a stream and now the right shoe of my brand new pair that I've only worn once is completely... just effed up... Covered in dirt/mud and soaked through...

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to clean the suede and leather cuz... I really like these shoes ]:

Suede can be cleaned with a wire brush of some sort I believe.

and the leather laces. If you take them out of the shoe and wipe then with a slightly damp cloth I am pretty sure they'll be fine.

Good luck, I always cry over my lovely shoes not surviving me..

I'd stay away from wire, if I were you. If I'm not compeletely mistaken you might damage your shoe permanently...

Try and find this, it's what I have and it works brilliantly. Gets better as you use it!

I know that the brand Clarks sells some really trustworthy suede cleaner.

I know that's not exactly your problem, but it's saved my beloved suede pumps :))
if you should ever find a grease spot on suede, put some baby powder on it and let it like that for a couple of hours. Then brush it off.
Sorry, I just had to share that :P
