    Yes, you can. If you don't have a suede brush, use a clean toothbrush to brush out the nap, or surface of the suede.

    If the boots become especially wet, it is best to let them dry out naturally, away from any heat sources. When they are completely dry, gently brush the surface of the boots with a suede brush in the direction of the fibers.

    Where do I store boots when Its fall and I want to wear them
    Community Answer
    Store them in a closet where they will remain cool and dry, such as a clothing closet or linen closet. Stuff them with newspaper if they are sitting on a shelf so that they retain their shape and don't flop over.

    Riding boots are generally made to be worn in all types of weather and are generally made with a different type of leather than suede. You should not use the same methods to waterproof leather riding boots as you would for suede boots.
