We all love our leather shoes and boots, especially brown brogues; that much is perfectly clear. Our collective obsession has reached an almost religious fanaticism, but this often leads us to forget leathers more casual but no less sartorial sibling; suede. It is perhaps partly due to the current season that we have pushed the humble suede shoe to the back of our minds but with a suede variant of almost every leather shoe imaginable, it is a hard material to ignore.
I am a big fan of suede. It offers much more than leather in terms of colour and season appropriate comfort and helps to keep outfits on the casual side of formal. However, it still needs a great deal of care – perhaps even more so than leather. The process is simpler but the material more delicate, suede reacts quite unfavourably to many of our more prevalent weather types and if we want to keep our outfits looking sharp, good suede care is essential.
So here is the FashionBeans guide to caring for your (possibly blue) suede shoes. http://bit.ly/1KTGxqt
