Gents,
Any tips for rescuing/renovating water damaged shoes? My aircon leaked condensate over a pair of tan brogues, the die has leached and the shoes are stained/tide marked.
Can I do this at home or easier to take to the cobbler?
As above, white vinegar may work/help, though usually recommended for removing road salt before cleaning with soap and water.Any tips for rescuing/renovating water damaged shoes? My aircon leaked condensate over a pair of tan brogues, the die has leached and the shoes are stained/tide marked.

Another alternative, which may depend somewhat on the value you place on your shoes, is the Jaunty Flaneur located at 1st Floor, 13 Savile Row (Sharing shop space with tailors Cad & the Dandy).
They are expert on shoe finishing and recolouring. They will soon tell you what, if anything, can be done.

A trip to Jermyn Street today resulted in no purchases I’m afraid but thoughts turned to Goaty Bill when I saw these beauties in Barkers
I love the Jeffrey West style but alas they are too narrow for me but there shop in Burlington Arcade is worth a visit
I haven't worn Fred West shoes since the 90s. I didn't find them super comfortable.I love the Jeffrey West style but alas they are too narrow for me but there shop in Burlington Arcade is worth a visit
I gather from someone in the trade that they are very often bought by the older gent these days.
