Thanks, ladies! I'm still unsure if I'll get them, but it helps to have some feedback.
CC, they're Lilly Pulitzer and currently on sale at Zappos. They don't look at all like I'd expect Lilly Pulitzer boots to look -- I think of that line as ultra-preppy, and these a bit hippie-ish.
Ditto to everything said, but suede or anything that remotely looks like suede scares me. I KNOW there are sprays and the like but I'm always paranoid that something bad will happen.
