Ive had a huge problem with my suede shoes. Every pair I have, the color eventually bleeds really bad, on to the laces, socks or the shoe just fades bad. My denims do it a bit too. I want to wear my Adicolor R5s this weekend, but there is a chance of rain. I wont be outside much, but dont want to trash them on the way to the car. Any luck locking the color in? Will several cotes or suede protector work? I assume this will be a problem with the Redmans when I get them too.

Suede protector and prayer is about the best you can do. I've not had the problems you've described, but then I don't wear my suedes that often.

never come across this but you should post a opic so people can see. you should brush your shoes and put a coat of water and stain proof spray wait 3 mins and then do another heavier coat this should prevent further bleeding.

Dont wear suedes when it's gonna rain! Simple really
That or try not to sweat profusely in them.

Mmmmm sweatty

Never had that happen to my suedes and I wear them often. I have had new black socks bleed onto a pair of new white kicks. Always wash black socks first before wearing!

Or just don't wear black or other dark coloured socks with white kicks and vice versa.
