Suede shoes

Would you risk it with a wedding that will involve quite a lot of time outdoors on grass?

    If it is not wet then you sould be ok, you can spray them with suede protector spray before hand

    I wouldn’t risk it tbh - but the decision is yours. I’ve never used suede protector spray, but if it’s good I suppose you could treat them beforehand and it won’t matter either way then.

    Thanks. I am thinking it won't be worth it. Found some absolute beauties but I would hate to ruin them. They do come in a faux leather version too which is almost as nice.

    I wouldn't risk it either to be honest, I used to love suede shoes and had a few pairs including some highly fashionable mules back in the day! But haven't worn them for a while after a bad experience with damp grass!

    Thank you for sharing your experience, good to know. I think I'll go for the faux lather version

    I'd definitely try to protect them with something, but really it depends on the colour of the shoes.

    I've bought faux-suede for my bridesmaids, and honestly it never even occurred to me that it might be an issue - we're getting married in October and are hoping to be outside if possible...

    Now gonna have to go find out if faux-suede needs a protector... lol.

    Unless you're seriously planning on wearing these shoes after your wedding day, I'd be tempted to risk it! 3rd September is still likely to be dry so I think it would be quite unlucky to get a rainy day. If your thinking these shoes will be a wardrobe staple going forward, then maybe still get them anyway, but definitely a cheap pair of back up wet weather shoes just in case.
