FAQs
How do I protect my suede shoes from rain?
While suede is sensitive to water, you can significantly improve its resistance by applying a waterproof suede protector spray regularly. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles for optimal longevity.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can severely damage the material and construction. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede cleaning.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Tower London Apache shoes generally run true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit, keeping in mind suede will stretch slightly with wear.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and to prevent moisture build-up, it's recommended to wear socks made from breathable materials like cotton or wool. No-show socks can also be worn for a more casual look.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Suede has some natural give and will mold to your foot over time. If you have particularly wide feet, you might find them snug initially, but they should stretch for a more comfortable fit with wear. Consider consulting a size guide or trying them on if possible.
How often should I clean my suede shoes?
The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For regular use, a light brushing after each wear is good. A deeper clean with a suede eraser or cleaner can be done every few weeks or as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush in a single direction to restore the nap and natural texture.
Water spots or stains on suede
If fresh, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser to gently rub the spot, then brush. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, applied sparingly according to instructions.
Shoes feel tight initially
Suede is a soft material that will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with wear. You can also wear them with thick socks around the house for short periods to help break them in gently.
Sole makes a squeaking sound
This can sometimes happen with new crepe soles on certain surfaces. Try applying a thin layer of talcum powder or cornstarch to the bottom of the sole, or scuffing them gently on a rough surface to break them in.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your suede shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Protection: Before first wear and regularly thereafter, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to repel water and stains.
- Cleaning:
- For dry dirt or mud, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush off with a dedicated suede brush. Always brush in one direction.
- For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution following the product instructions.
- Avoid using water directly on suede, as it can cause staining or alter the texture.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
