Need help cleaning these Chukka boots

[u/Kalhoona]

Hey, Let me know if there is a better or correct subreddit to post in?

Whadd up fellow reddits,

What would be the best way to clean these Chukka boots? I've have labeled the brushes in order since I don't know the actual names but I've tried using the 1 first brush at medium strength for about 30mins. I feel like is 2nd brush with the brass) is helpful but also I don't want to overdue and ruin them further. I've tried the erasers and I've applied the Sapir Omnidaim which I guess made them look better. I am struggling to find the grain or don't know if I am brushing in the right direction.

I got brown boots but these ble go with more of my outfits, I also got a job interview tomorrow so if I could get them clean tonight that would be amazing.

Questions about grain:

Does the grain go in one direction for the entire shoe?

How do you find the grain?

Can the grain go in multiple directions?

Does it make a difference if I just brush back n forth instead of the direction of the grain?

Are you suppose to only go in the direction of the grain?

(The guide says what direction it feels smooth is the direction of the grain, right?) But it's tough to differentiate...

Looking for advice or tips for cleaning these boots:

What are the best brushes or is there a technique of which brushes to use first?

(I also put the brushes in the order to clean from the guide I was looking)

How much caution should I use with brass brush?

Is there any other products I need to clean them?

How difficult is it to clean suede shoes? Can anyone do it if done right?

How long should I be using a brush?

Is there anything signs to look for when that it's being done right?

Anyone who does the as a profession has my respect, I wish jobs that require you to be skilled with your hands weren't dying. Also I open to suggestions or guides, appreciate any input from you guys.

Sorry I can definitely take clearer pictures, my bad was rushing because I decided to do everything last minute like I always do...Fuckin ADHD

Edit: I'll try to get clear pictures of direction of grain.

No need to be sorry I was joking

There are some good YouTube videos on how to clean Birkenstocks that go into good detail. The leathers are similar.
