To restore dirty suede shoes, first brush the shoes gently with a suede cleaning brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a clean eraser or a special suede eraser, rubbing gently. If they're still dirty, apply a small amount of white vinegar or suede cleaner on a clean cloth, and lightly dab the stained area. Let them dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Finally, brush the shoes again to restore the nap. Avoid using water, as it can stain suede further.
