Caring For Your Ricardo Bestetti Boots and Suede Shoes

At over 1400 Euros, handmade Riccardo Bestetti footwear is often far more expensive than other types of shoes. Even non-custom Bestetti boots and shoes typically cost upwards of 1100 Euros. Either way, this is a large investment for a pair of shoes. However, Bestetti footwear is among the best of the best in terms of style, comfort and durability. Considering that each shoe is exclusively customized to your feet, and considering that the brand embodies Italian luxury and fashion, the prices are quite justified.

Therefore, if you are interested in purchasing a pair of Ricardo Bestetti suede shoes, learning to maintain them is of utmost importance. Suede shoes are particularly prone to staining, which is certainly not desirable after you've paid over a thousand Euros for the pair. Indeed, purchasing a pair of suede boots from a designer label is the easiest part of owning such a quality pair of shoes. The challenge comes from making sure that they are properly maintained.

Cleaning Your Bestetti Suede Shoes

If you want to keep your suede footwear from staining or remove any existing stains on your Ricardo Bestetti boots or shoes, read on to discover a few important cleaning tips.

* Always remember that suede is a delicate material. An effective way to remove dry stains from suede is to first rub the shoes with a bath towel, then rub a pencil eraser over the stains. The gentle abrasion caused by these two methods should remove most stains in most cases.

* Never use abrasive cleaning agents or materials to try to remove stains, as this will damage the delicate suede more than the stain itself.

* When cleaning wet stains from Bestetti suede shoes, first place an absorbent towel over the stain. Never use a stain remover or over-the-counter cleaner, as it may interfere with the cleaning process.

* A suede brush can be useful for cleaning off both dry and wet stains. Brush your shoes lightly, and don't apply too much pressure.

* If the above stain cleaning methods don't work, try dampening a cotton cloth with white vinegar and rub the stains gently. Allow to dry, then check if the stain has been removed.
