1. Suede

For cleaning suede boots, HowToCleanStuff explains that you'll need a mild detergent, a soft cloth, a toothbrush, and cold water. Mix a little detergent in a bowl of cold water, then tip the cloth in. Blot the stains with the cloth (avoid rubbing to remove color), and repeat as necessary. Once the boot is dry, bring back the original texture by brushing lightly with the toothbrush.

As for rubber-based boots, Jezebel suggests simply rubbing the boots down with a soft rag coated in olive oil! Buff away the oil with another clean rag and that's it.
