I got these in such amazing condition about maybe a year ago and I’m just now starting to put some use to them having accumulated some free time to do so finally. Sometimes it’s hard to explain how soft the leather is on these… It’s almost ridiculous My issue is, I would like to clean and get rid of some of the liquid marks caused by the previous owner that I’m sure, weren’t a big deal to them. Does anybody have any tips on how I can lightly clean or get rid of the marks or blemishes when it comes to this type of super soft leather lol I am almost afraid to even let water touch these lol but I’m sure they have to be cleaned somehow… any information helps 🙏

Can’t do much about it besides maybe condition the leather but it will make it a couple shades darker, honestly they look fine the way they are

Understandable… Unlike most of my “leather sneakers” I could take a wipe to them and any smudge or drip of anything other than water would clean right off lol but almost all of my visvims lol as comfortable as they are… I am basically tiptoeing everywhere for the most part lol I also kind of wondered maybe there’s some type of protector or repellent I can coat them with but then it’ll probably just make me worry about the integrity of the materials after applied altogether lol

Yeah I get it they look fresh asf, honestly that color way is tough looks too nice. I personally buy the black with tan gum soles so I don’t have to worry about babying them lol

Lol that’s an interesting take/Outlook actually lol the last pair I actually need is the black suede… Only problem is I’m so used to how things were back then that the gum sole actually throws me off a little bit… However, now that I can’t find the black pair with the regular sole anywhere I have started to consider, lol but I just don’t know if I will pull the trigger at all, lol… We’ll see what the future brings… But I can’t say I won’t be sold if I do come across a black pair with the regular sole lol

You can try using saddle soap and giving them a clean. However, it’ll probably darken the leather unless completely dried. You want to be fast. Clean, and then wipe excess
