i just got these new sperry Boat Shoes and its getting dirty pretty quick. i have tried to use a suede eraser to clean it but it seems to be leaving unwanted scratches. can anyone please tell me how to clean this kind of leather.? its supposed to be some sort of nubuck leather or something like that..
Nubuck leather should be cleaned on a very regular basis using a nubuck cleaning cloth and a napping brush if required.
Use a water based protector like waterstop to help them stay cleaner and make cleaning easier the next time.
Do not use wet products on them as they are very absorbent and will mark easily.

Nubuck is a much finer nap than suede so a suede cleaner will leave scrathes. You can use a 3M Ultrafine sanding sponge ( much more flexible than sand paper and wont crease and leave score marks) It will remove the soiled nap and bring up a fresh one.
Dont use liquid cleaners, they will stain.
Hope this helps
