Suede Shoes for Fall

There is something about suede that I find absolutely irresistable.  I love touching it.  I love the way it holds color.  I love the way it looks.  I have also heard many of you complain about water damage, so you have completely given up on wearing suede.  That’s understandable.  But, since I live in an area that gets 6 inches of rain a year, that isn’t an issue.  (I know it’s annoying to hear me chirp about our mild winters, but we also hit 113 degrees today, so I get what I deserve.)

Yesterday I was able to go to the local Nordstroms and nearly died.  They had about 30 pairs of suede shoes that I wanted to take home with me.  I did buy a couple of pairs, but  will have to wait to wear them because we won’t see autumn until mid- November.

Let’s see some suede shoes.   All these shoes are from Nordstroms.  Maybe you can guess which shoes I purchased. 

Kors Parker Wedge Pump. $150.

The back of the Parkers.    

 Do you love that zipper?  It isn’t a working zipper, but it seems to work with this 4 inch heel.

Calvin Klein Scarlet $110.  The nice thing about this shoe is that when you look at the heel to toe ratio it is only a 3 inch heel.  A perfect professional pump with a chunky heel that offers quite a bit of stability. 

Dolce Vita Holt  $159  I will admit,  I would probably never wear a heel like this.

Sam Edelman Torin Boot $224  This boot sparkled so much under the halogen lights the studs looked like crystals.  It was striking.  It also looks like something Chloe Sevigny would wear.  

Jeffrey Campbell Reagle  $104  for those who have had it with sky high shoes, and need to give their feet a rest.

Sergio Rossi Peep toe  $695

These are just a few of the suede samples that were available.  The people in the shoe department gave me the evil eye because I kept touching their shoes.  I think they were glad when I finally left.
