I just wore my new suade flats to a family party on a forest preserve..bad idea..now my shoes are orangish/brown at the toe part. How can i clean them off? Just put in washer? Scrub them?
DON'T put shoes in the wash- the reinforcements inside will be ruined.
Try first with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - just use it dry, never wet. I find these eraser things take a lot of stuff off a lot of stuff (scuff marks off patent leather, too!).
dont wash - water will ruin them. scrub briskly with a hard bristle brush wire if possible. when you get them looking good spray them with ScotchGaurd and they will be good forever

If that doesn't work, here are more directions:

or you could take them to a dry cleaner and ask how to do it- they could tell you what would be best.
It matters whether they are actually leather, or microsuede fabric - but try the Magic Eraser - it won't hurt them.
Special eraser
