It completely saved my husband’s leather Ecco shoes. I absolutely love the stuff. Be GENEROUS with your sprays. We recommend spray, wait 30 min, spray again, wait over night to our customers. Repeat every month or 2. (Vans Rideau- Ottawa, Ontario)

So I just got my first pair of Vans yesterday, they're the Nintendo SK8-Hi Reissue Controller ones. I don't skate, just liked how they looked and felt. It's my first pair of shoes over $40 (ended up costing over $80) and thus I want them to last forever. I was persuaded to buy a can of Water and Stain Shield at the register, but now I'm worried about applying them. The website says that the shoes are canvas and suede, I don't know much about fabrics but I do notice that part of the shoes have this really nice fuzzy finish that I don't want to ruin. Will the spray harden the shoes' surface in order to render them waterproof, or something like that? On that note, what if they get wet without the spray on? Can you wash these shoes (I'm used to throwing my shoes in the washing machine if they get dirty)? What is some basic maintenance I should know?

Tl;dr: Bought the Nintendo SK8-His. Because of how expensive and limited edition they were, I want them to last forever. Should I apply the spray?

Otherwise, does anyone have any recommendations for a good water and stain shield? It’s been raining a lot where I’m at and the majority of my shoes have suede

I usually use scotch guard

Boot cleaner kit from walmart. Cheaper, more for what you buy and works like a charm.

I’ve never bothered personally, doesn’t seem to really mess em up.

Kiwi mink oil and instant shine sponge for my leather high tops

I used the reshovener. It’s amazing

I put the shield on two of my new pairs and I’ve been wearing them for 2 weeks now and they’re doing great, but I’ve been to lazy to put them on my other pairs yet. Does it make that big of a difference or al I fine not using it? (I have the cleaner kit and will probably clean them once a month)

Is it safe to spray on all Vans? I know it says not to spray on certain things but how do you know what your shoes are made of?

I use them on all of my Vans, no matter the material. So far no problem.
