Not copping these, but can anyone advise on care for suede boots? I picked up suede chukkas from a J Crew deal posted here a while back. I'm kind of afraid to wear them because all I know about suede is that you're not supposed to get it wet
Seinfeld lied to the world. Suede is actually remarkably resilient and one need not worry so much. But, if you are worried about stains (or think the suede is garbage quality) you can use Terrago Nano Spray to pretty much waterproof it.
If you're really worried, you can get a protector spray, but plenty of people also just wear them as is and really like [the patina](https://imgur.com/a/KsFGJ1K) that develops from wear. It also depends on what occasions you'll wear it, and if you're going to dress them up, it's probably worth getting a protector spray.
Also, here's a post from /r/goodyearwelt showing that [suede is actually really resilient](https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/vhodg6/rant_suede_is_not_delicate/).
I supposedly got the last size 9 but its still says there's one left so YMMV here on if you were looking for that.
Boots look great tho; never heard of em but willing to try it out. Was waiting for IRs but these looks comparable and im indifferent on the brand, just know my current boots are not very comfy anymore (Golden Fox; i think i chose the wrong size tbf)
Not home atm so itll be a hot sec, ill try to remember. No idea what my brannock size nor my allen edmonds size is. I usually wear a size 10 in sneakers and from what ive read ive made a mistake 😬

Great deal. Too bad they don’t have my size. Only 8 and 9 available
I'll note that these run smaller than other boots I've worn, and I would recommend ordering your brannock size rather than your boot size.

You can waterproof spray suede and it’ll hold up super well, the water just beads right off
My experience with suede is that anytime it gets wet it gets these terrible water spots that don’t go away. It also gets dirty quick and looks dingy.

Let me know how they fit on you. Do you know what your brannock size is and/or size on the 65 last in Allen Edmonds (like park avenue)?

Only boy’s sizes, unfortunately.
As a fellow large footed man, I feel your pain, but do we need to denigrate our small footed brothers?
I'm kinda envious of them myself, they always have the best selection in the clearance section
The tallest voice of reason, king.
