How practical are these?

e_doli · Dooney & Bourke

i think they would get dirty pretty easily. do they make a scotchguard for suede?

dot · Marc Jacobs

i think they are pretty but if you do alot of walking in them i dont' know how practical they would be. :(

that's the tragic reality of most beautiful shoes.

Depends on where you are . . . snowy/rainy areas probably wouldn't work. But if you're in warmer climates, just spray them with the suede protector and it should be fine. I have a lot of suede tennis shoes and after I spray them, they last a long time without problems.

I think they'd be fine as long as you don't wear them in the rain.

get them weather protected (a cobbler will do it for you) and try to avoid wearing them with dark jeans since those will bleed onto the top of the boots. they're very pretty.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

they are pretty...but I would prob destroy them in about 3 wearings

Karina · Chanel

i would get them if they were really cheap ...

Thanks guys! I'm still torn...for some reason I'm always completely drawn to suede and then I manage to ruin it really quickly. But I just love them so much. They're $79. Should I do it?

I think you should get them if you think you can get at least five or six wears out of them. That makes for a a kind of high cost/wear ratio but since you really love them I think it's probably worth it. Just buy a good suede protector and don't wear them if it's even a little wet outside.

Honestly if they fit well I wouldn't be able to not get them. But they're my personal style anyway. I would totally buy them for that price. I have three pairs like that already, one of which is in camel and I've never had a problem with them.

I love them....if you really want them, get them and make sure you get them weather protected...also try not to wear them inwet weather...love the color

Prissy · Dooney & Bourke

I would say pass.
