Now that winter is in full swing, it’s time to up your cold-weather shoe game, which may mean investing in a pair of the best suede boots out there. From rugged lug-sole ankle boots to sleek, heeled black knee-high boots, we’ve covered all the bases.
When it comes to suede, there tend to be two camps; those who can’t resist the material’s soft, buttery texture and those who grimace at the thought of maintaining the fussy fabric. While yes, suede scuffs and stains more easily than other materials, there are plenty of tools and tricks that make maintenance a breeze.
For any matted areas or scuffs, a suede brush is a perfect tool to buff them away. You can conquer dirt and small stains with a suede eraser. Brands even make suede shampoos and conditioners if you are looking for a deeper clean, which you can follow with spray-on water repellent for maximum protection. And if it so happens that you skipped the spray and your shoes get wet, dab a microfiber cloth or paper towel over the spill to soak the water right up and leave your boots as good as new.
All in all, with the proper care, suede boots for women are a timeless investment that you will be able to revisit every year. Scroll on to shop our favorites for this winter.
