Shoes

[Shanus]

We’re through January and have had 2 major snow storms in NC. Of course, with slow clean up, I’ve barely worn all the suede shoes I purchased...snow boots or at least leather shoes/boots.

Now showing suede again for spring? Even though I spray them for protection, has no one heard of spring showers?

Suede shoes are high upkeep and iffy w/ the weather. What’s up with suede everything....even sandals!

I like suede (and nubuck) ... probably more than half of my shoe/boot/sandal collection.

But ... I also have other shoes that I wear when rain is in the forecast (or carry a pair of "rain shoes" in my tote). 

You can ruin leather shoes in the rain as easily as you can ruin suede.

I'm not a fan of suede shoes or boots. I found them more difficult to maintain than smooth leather. That was especially true back north where snow, ice, and salt were such a problem.

I am really not a fan of suede either....

I love suede.  When the weather is bad I wear something else; outside at least.

@ALRATIBA  Love the look of suede myself, but also have older leather shoes for bad weather.

Love the rich color you can get from suede.  They're also softer.  Love mine but mI don't fet them wet.

Finally I see an advantage to living in a drought area.  This winter has been suede-every-day, if that's what you want to wear.  Now if I could just figure out how to keep the dog hair off of my black suede loafers.

Me too! There are many reasons I love the desert. Now I've added another one. Suede all year! It's my material of choice for shoes. Especially sandals. Love the softness and color saturation.
