LOL I'm sorry they didn't work for you. I also have bad feet that are very picky about shoes. So when I find comfy ones I hate to let them go. I'll probably end up with a Converse type pair as well. I can wear those or boots when the weather is mucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352837 Fri, 20 May 2011 00:32:54 +0000 Aziraphale 352837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on how much you're going to care if the toes get shiny. I own some suede boots that are meant to look rugged, so I wear them in all kinds of weather except pouring rain and I don't mind if they get a bit worn-looking. The toes take the hardest beating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352832 Fri, 20 May 2011 00:27:23 +0000 biscuitsmom 352832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive found that using a brush helps keep that newish look...of course using a 'made for suede' cleaner every month or so makes a big difference too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352739 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:48:12 +0000 bella 352739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only reservation is that with regular wear, suede starts looking old and used fairly quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352730 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:36:35 +0000 Cilleena 352730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brenda, I tell you, we buy so many of the same things, it cracks me up. I'm glad you think these are comfy, they didn't work for me. My feet must be horrible...they are sneakers for heaven's sake. Anyway, for your question, I think these are fine in suede, they seem like the all-weather type of suede, not really delicate at all. But, I would spray them with water repellant anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352719 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:24:04 +0000 biscuitsmom 352719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are many different water and dirt repellants for suede, so it shouldnt be a problem...you can always spot-test a area to make sure its working. Otherwise, save it for dry days! I would dry-brush them every few days to keep them in the best looking condition....very cute shoes! Hope they work for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-suede-a-deal-breaker#post-352717 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:20:48 +0000 qfbrenda 352717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a pair of Born Kais:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-kai-charcoal" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-kai-charcoal</a></p> <p>They are so comfy, and I think they are cute. My only hesitation is that they are suede. I couldn't tell from the pics that they were suede so that was a surprise. </p> <p>We have such wet weather... would it be possible to spray them really well with shoe spray and have them last a while? Or maybe wear them mostly when it's dry? I would hate to give up such comfy shoes. </p>
