refurbishing black suede boots

6 replies

I have a lovely pair of Russell & Bromley classic black suede riding boots. They still have plenty of wear left in them but are looking a bit faded now - is there any way of refurbishing the colour to smarten them up a bit?

Anyone tried this or know how to do it or a place where it can be done. Otherwise looking at £300 for a replacement pair ...

Suede brush?

I used suede and nubuck reviver spray.

If that doesn't spruce them up enough then you can use suede shoe dye.

The best is Fiebings.

Dylon do some but it's not as good. And you will need quite a lot for knee boots.

You used to be able to get a suede spray that had colour in it. I have used one before on black suede. Not sure if you can still get it?

Just looked on Amaaon and they have some on there.

Have you tried brushing them under steam? Boil a kettle or use a steamer and brush with a stuff old toothbrush under the steam
