So I've been by Tony's now 2 times. 1st time to shine shoes and now the latest to try and salvage my suede shoes. Well, when I came in he didn't sound to optimistic. Said that it looked like oil of some kind had stained them. He said he wasn't sure he could get it out. Well I urged him anyway since I didn't want to toss them out. He said he would do his best...and well sure enough, he came through with flying colors! The shoes look almost brand new! He also super waterproofed them so that they don't get damaged going further hopefully.
If you are in the same boat I was, and need shoes fixed, definitely give Tony a visit!
