suede boots

Soft leather footwear

Boots made from suede—leather with a soft, napped finish created by buffing the inner surface of the hide.

The texture gives them a casual elegance but makes them vulnerable to water and stains: I ruined my suede boots walking through the rain.

They require more care than smooth leather boots.
