It might help but likely not remove it completely. There are suede shampoos you can try like from Saphir.

Believe it or not, some folks value that stained look.

Good morning,
my new beautiful kudus just arrived.

As first-time kudu owner I would like to ask if that squeaking is normal? Mainly from the vamp.

Thanks

Beautiful boots, I wish I’d gone for that colour over sign. I’ve had two pairs and neither squeaked.

Can you share care routine for kudu. What do you apply to condition kudu.

To be honest, I’ve not given them any care yet as they don’t appear to need it. I imagine I’ll just use some conditioner- renovateur or VSC.

Other option of course is to apply neutral wax with a sponge and then buff it off 5 seconds later as per Tricker’s recommendation.

I once applied renovateur to chocolate waxy kudu leather, which turned so dark almost black. Now I use black polish. Even though I spoiled the uppers, itz a special one - my first pair of Trickers.

As advised by Saphir themselves, kudu leather, due to it's origin and naturally distressed and oily look, to care for them would be to use a small amount of Saphir 'Renovateur' and buff gently with a very soft brush.
The cream is neutral, soft (but very nourishing) so won't alter the colour of the leather nor the naturally distressed look.

Isn't it best to use 'Oiled Leather Care' from Saphir for waxy leathers? It's a lighter, slightly more viscose product that I'd use on my waxy reverse suede and pull up leathers of my Tricker's.

Otherwise I'd use leather lotion which is even less intrusive. The mink oil in Renovateur is rather heavy stuff, only great for medium to darker smooth leathers I'd say.

Oiled leather cream from Saphir has 2 variants, one with wax content(first pic below) and a second with no/less wax content. The second one is a lighter version and doesn't change the colour at all.
I have used the second one Saphir Cuirs gras on cxl and predator leather. I feel the second one should be good for kudu as well.

I love it in some lights, but sometimes it’s a little too red for my taste
