I bought some really cute all suade Pumas and they have some little stains on them now and I am sure how to go about and clean them without ruining them and making the stain more visible. Any suggestions?

Suede is a lovely material - warm, soft and cuddly. Too bad it's such a terrible beast to clean. In general, have suede garments professionally cleaned. This can be costly but the most effective way to ensure the safety of your fabric. If you must clean your own, follow these guidelines.
STEP 1: Rub suede gently with a bath towel to restore some of its nap.
STEP 2: Remove dry stains and marks from suede by gently rubbing a pencil eraser on the affected area. For wet stains lay a papertowel on top of stain to absorb most of the liquid. Do not apply any kind of stain remover or other products, especially if you want to have it professionally cleaned. This can interfere with the cleaning process.
STEP 3: Brush with a suede brush.
STEP 4: Apply a small amount of white vinegar to a lightly dampened cloth as a last resort for cleaning suede shoes.

I never use anything damp on suede. A good suede brush or bar (available at most shoe or department stores) usually takes care of everything. Just use the brush or bar to brush any of your suede. Even gets out little stains.

A damp cloth is the best bet for Suede shoes. I have some and I used a mod warm damp cloth, not soaking, and it takes care of the stains.

Wipe them with a damp cloth. I took pen out of my friends suade ones.
