Newhouse Specialty 105 Nap Brush

I have several pairs of suede and nubuck shoes and have tried a variety of brushes to clean and refresh the leather surface to keep them looking good. This brush is by far the best I have tried as it's combination of stiff horse hair bristles with fine brass bristles in the center are very effective in removing dirt and lifting the nap of the leather giving it that new store bought look. Use it regularly and your shoes/boots will look nicer and last longer.I advise treating your shoes with a suede waterproofing spray before you wear them and recommend that you brush your shoes/boots before you spray them and again after they have dried.

Don't use this on lighter suede, it will STAIN it! I got this to clean a light colored suede jacket and it ruined it, turning it blue where I used this brush. No doubt it's the brush that has damaged the color, as I then rubbed the brush onto a white towel and that was stained too. Whatever you do, use this on dark suede only or risk making your item look dirtier. Terrible, I am so disappointed. I should have listened to the other reviewer who had the same experience.

Great solid brush to use on any suede products. I use it to clean my premiere designer goods and it works marvelously!

Not sure about this product. When used to brush my white bucks, the brass bristles leave a grey smudge on the buckskin. I would not recommend it for that application. Might be okay for darker suede shoes.

It worked well as a nap brush, however, on my grey suede it left dark marks after brushing. Luckily i was able to use some jason markk to save the shoes, but take this as a warning. I have no problem with dark brown and black shoes however.

Any touch ups to the nap of my car's faux suede (Alcantara in the 300ZX) or deep dusting will be easily handled by this brush. The brush is a high-quality product. I was impressed with the nylon AND brass bristles, both of which arrived in their original pattern, not bent or creased or with some other defect. Additionally, this brush is a great size to work with (fit's the hand well), but it is also small enough that it has found a home under my passenger seat, permanently. My only complaint is that the wooden brush base has corners that keep the corner bristles from finding their mark in tough-to-reach corners of the dash.

very poor quality. it is not even a wire brush. plastic bristles fell out on the first use. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM FROM THISNap Brush #105 VENDOR

Very good functionality. Works well but without a handle it slips out of your hand sometimes when using it.
