I have a pair of soft suede sandals.. They are made by Pavers .. and wearing them is like walking on air.. BUT.. The colour is not quiet right.. a little bit too dark..
Problem solved.. I put them outside (daily) in the full blistering sunlight..
clever or what.. !!!!! and I'm a woman.. !!
It'll have some impact on the leather too though.
You could end up with some hard suede sandals that aren't quite the right colour. Or soft suede sandals that are falling to bits.
For me comfort trumps all.
Hey klondike.. Sometimes in life we have to take risks.. !!
Well I think it's clever to use the bleaching effects of the sun. Hopefully won't spoil the softness.
It'd have been more clever to ask google first though...

Ah yes, comfort trumps....
My shoes are now much lighter in colour.. The leather is still soft and they have not fallen apart.
well done
Good job then. I wouldn't have risked it though.
I like Pavers too. They have a sale on at the moment Scrumpy.
Tell me about it..!! I missed it.
