Just an idea....I'd try brushing dry baking soda into the suede with a soft tooth brush, then mix a water/soda paste and scrub it in. If the stains are petroleum based, it may lift them. I remove salt stains from shoes with white vinegar. It may not hurt to scrub white (don't know if cider vinegar would stain the white material) vinegar into the suede after the baking soda. Good luck!

I found this online http://www.ehow.com/how_7212278_clean-white-suede.html Once you get them clean, I recommend spraying them liberally with Scotch Guard to prevent future stains.

You can also try Hydrogen Peroxide.

No just use fine sand paper, works like a charm. Especially on suede sandals where the soles are suede.

Could try a white art eraser gently. Small circular motion.

Depends on what the stain is... If it is grease based your going to need something to disolve the grease. I use a mixture of dawn detergent baking soda and peroxide to remove just about any stain on anything. Often with suede, scraping them with a serrated edge knife will remove just about anything. Good luck

Could it be mold? Kind of looks like leather mold, just my opinion.

I had some boot almost exactly like yours. I stepped into mud and thought they were ruined I put them into the washer and they came out looking almost brand new I put crumple up paper in them and let them air dry and they look great and the suede was fine.

yes mine had the white fur at the top, nylon upper and suede boot around the shoe part and they came out great I thought they were ruined but they came out looking like new. I used warm water NO fabric softener and then air dried. I did stuff paper towels and into the toes and paper towel cardboard rolls in the upper part to keep them open so they would dry better. Good Luck!!

I wash sneakers in my washer, I always put a couple of white towels in to "scrub" them with.
