suede boots: would they get wrecked upon first wear?

Claudia · Gucci

I have two pairs of suede shoes and they have held up well. I wear one pair almost every weekend. I just never wear them in the rain.

I love the look of suede boots!! They don't get as dirty as you think, mine are tan and they did get a tad dirty, but I have had them for years. I also have brown and they look good as new. I think black and brown are good if you don't want to see any dirt or marks. Tan or anything else light would probably be harder to keep clean.

I have quite a few pair of suede shoes and some suede boots. I've never really had a problem.

Hedvig · Coach

I have a pair of dark brown suede boots I wore all the time last winter and they still look like new. I did spray them with a water and stain protector before I started wearing them.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I have lots of suede shoes/boots from light pink to dark brown and I always spray them with a water/stain protector before wearing them. Then I wear them whenever I want, no matter what weather and I've never had a problem. I love the texture of suede.

What FP said. I don't have boots, but have at least 3 pair of suede heels. I spray all shoes, suede or not, with water-resistant spray before they're ever worn. And I wear my shoes for *years*. I think my olive suedes are the oldest (3+ years) and they look pretty darned pristine. :)
