Have three pair of red wings, need to know best way to clean and protect them

[gabby11303]

Really dumb question to begin, i'm not sure what type of leather all three are. Dry tanned, suede, roughout leather, oil tanned?

Anyway, looking for the best way to protect them from stains etc. More so the lighter colored ones. What should I put on them before I even wear them? And then what should I use to clean them?

As far as the 1907's go, what would be best to protect and then clean?

Suede = suede protector. Any spray, really. But I prefer just to let them go. You can clean them with a suede eraser and brush as you go instead of putting some synthetic spray on them. Your call.

1907s: use Obenauf's LP or Saphir Renovateur; both are excellent.

Any leather cleaning should be done with Lexol. Great for shoes and car care.

You could also don't wear them.

Thanks

I would let the suede go, but just don't want to get any type of stains.
