Suede is NOT delicate
https://burk.blog/posts/suede-rant/
An post I wrote about how suede really isn’t delicate. I’m not entirely sure how this myth got started but any split or full grain suede will be fine if it gets wet with proper care.
No I don’t use nano protector sprays at all.
Suede is NOT Delicate
Myth: suede is delicate.
I don’t know how the myth got started, it’s entirely false. Real suede is an incredibly durable leather. It doesn’t show surface scratches or stains very much. It can get literally soaked and bounce right back. It’s incredibly easy to care for; it’s receptive to neglect and papering.

This could be how the myth got started

The FtFs on the left are pushing 7 years old at this point I think
how do i get an oil stain out? i’ve had one on my shoe that i couldn’t get out with corn starch
Try some dawn dish soap. I put it in warm water and then apply with a toothbrush
okay sick, i’m scared or color loss but i’ll give it a go
Just like a drop in ~1-2 cups of water. In the article I posted I just brushed the entire shoe with the soapy water but idk what leather/dye is used on those shoes so you might need to be careful about color loss
