how well does it work on suede

Hi, this says it is for smooth leather so I have never tried it on suede. It does a fantastic job on leather. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It is recommended for suede as well, I spray my suede jackets and boots with it, but unlike smooth leather I wouldn't run under the rain in suede, it's far more delicate.

It hasnt darkend my leather. I would think that as long as the leather has a smooth finish it will do good. It will darken something like suede or unfinished leather.

I would say it probably would not work well on leather boots, I would invest in some mink oil or a product specifically designed for leather

Yes, they work great on dress boots and casual boots. I also use them on my dress shoes. No problems with stains on lighter colours. For my winter boots, I recently tried this product instead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZTXPJ6/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It works great, but it does darken the colour on anything not black, and changes the feel of the boots since it's basically applying a layer of silicone. For normal, everyday wear (including in rain), I stick with the product you have asked about.

I use it on my leather including shoes and handbags. This is a really great product and I have been happily using it for years.

Hi, I didn't apply leather finish after dying my shoes. I watched a YouTube video and a lady dyed some rather worn shoes with a gorgeous orangish/rust dye. They turned out fabulously, and she dyed SUEDE shoes! That is what I did, only black and newish shoes. She said hers were suede, and it worked great. The package says not to dye suede, but I did anyway. I am not sorry! The color is fabulous and I just brushed them with a soft brush after they were dry. I am not doing anything else to them - mostly because they look good and they are suede. I would suggest reading the package. I don't remember afterwards applications. Sorry!

Yes, the waterproofing effect works as well on clean, smooth surface leather items. However, if the smoothness comes from a wax coating, the effect and its permanency is much diminished. As for "nu-buck" (sanded outside leather, suede-like in appearance), the stuff is also effective, but be aware of the significant darkening it produces, proportional to the density of application. Try it on a less visible portion of your material (perhaps the edge of the tongue) to gauge whether the color change is acceptable. Good luck.

I believe it would work on any rubber sole. I always clean and degrease the affected area with Acetone first.

Yes it is suede like material but a washcloth and mild soap I think you could clean it fine. I have a pink one and actually after almost two years us only showing a small amount of dirt on one of the magnet spots.

I am using it on white aneline leather. It's working well with no discoloration problems.

They didn't discolor my suede shoes, and they are tan in color. I would recommend this product. It works very well. In fact I will order this item again. I even tested it in the rain, and the water beaded off, like water on a duck. Very high quality product. I rate it 5 stars. No it will no discolor your boots! Coming from a customer that used this product, you will be very pleased. Let it dry over night before you test it out in any rain or snow, so the product can be absorbed in the sheepskin. And spray it outside , in a covered area. You will enjoy this product. Sincerely, a satisfied customer ! They didn't discolor my suede shoes, and they are tan in color.

Yes but it may darken the leather on new boots. Try a spot on the tongue you can't see and let it dry. Can't use on suede or fur. Has to be smooth leather. Great product for leather.

I used it on my wives boots and it worked fine. I also used it on my work boots and it did not work well. I would stick to using this on tennis shoes or boots like you mentioned.

I would assume so. I have used it on cow and deer leather without any problems. I wouldn't think twice about using it on any leather...okay, probably not suede. :)

It says on the can that it is okay for leather and swede but I used it on a fake suede and it worked beautifully. No change in color or texture.

It depends how many coats you apply, how tall your boots are, how big your feet are, and how much per coat. I always apply 2 coats, letting them dry completely in between. I soak the whole boot the first time, and soak the foot area both times. I used it on size 10 knee-high suede boots with fringes, which requires more spraying, and have 1/2 a can left. In general, the way I use it, I would say 1 can is good for 3 pairs of knee-high boots (without fringes).

The product has worked well for my Caiman and Ostrich boots. It was recommended for animal skins by the place I bought my boots and I have been happy using it for the past 8 years for all my shoes and boots.
