Suede shoes are sartorially succulent. Seasonal shifts send suckers-for-shoes systematically searching for soft suede on sale. Seven of such sought-after shoes shall be seen in succinct style starting summarily:
.
Ralph Lauren Made in the USA Banstead Boat Shoe – $111.75 ($325)
Use the code RLSUM25 for an extra 25% off at checkout to get this price. Free shipping until August 28th as well, so that’s nice. Three colors left including the not super bright “orange” shown. It’s not cheap for a boat shoe, but they are made in the USA and were going for almost three times as much. Similar version in brown, also made in the USA, for $150 over at DSW.
Calvin Klein Deauville Drivers – $61.99 ($98)
Not an easier way to get introduced to the comfortable world of drivers shoes than a pair that ships free and costs sixty bucks. Grey suede is hugely versatile, and the standard driving heel on these isn’t too aggressive. Sold through Zappos and well reviewed. Lots of other color options at other price points. You’ll have to click to see the grey.
Cole Haan Air Colton – $114.00
($228)
Over two hundred is a no, but half off and just north of $100 with free two day shipping and free returns is tempting. Especially in the uber rich looking “Burnt Sugar” color. Almost all sizes left.
Cole Haan Vincenti Cap Toe Boot – $199
($398)
Busier than the Colton, made in Italy, and equipped with Bologna Construction. Leather sole. A splurge for sure.
Magnanni Suede Double Monk – $299 (but $209.30 when an extra 30% off)
Sit settle hold. Three hundred is a lot. And LastCall runs 30% off sales often enough that this one is a wait on it type of shoe. Just in, all sizes are there, and while it’s not likely since they just did a bunch of these, an extra 40% off one item sale would drop them to $179.40. Mezlan has a similar, medallion toe version at DSW for a steep $280.
Ciro Lendini Suede Chukkas – $75.00 ($148)
Big fan of the Yoox carried brand Ciro Lendini and their affordable Italian footwear. Hold out for a sale and plenty of their shoes can be had for dirt cheap just like these. Shipping can take a bit and be expensive, so know that going in. No half sizes available and since Ciro Lendini shoes can run a little trim sometimes, best to size up if you want to take a shot. More colors, like a dark blue, over here for $99.
Johnston & Murphy McPherson Cap Toe – $122.99 ($175)
One of their newer releases (came out this past spring/summer) and made from Italian suede. One of those shoes that’ll really dress up a pair of jeans, but not look wildly out of place. Nice perforations and the shape of the shoe is perfect.
And now, the really NOT on sale pair: Alden for J. Crew Suede- $495.00
Holy.
Supplementary suggestions shan’t sit subconsciously shrouded…
I got the McPhersoncap toe two weeks ago on Amazon for $84. Just looked and that price is still there.
Suede shoes lend themselves to the colored laces trend nicely. I picked up a couple pair of laces from allenedmonds.com. Free shipping and completely changes the look of my suede shoes.
Thanks for the heads up,I plan on acquiring those today …
Superb selection of suede shoes, sir.
I love the alliteration Joe. Nice work.
What color pants would the camel color suede work best with?
Blue or Gray is my bet.
Those Alden suedes are chunky and ugly; I can think of about 100 boots I’d rather have at that price point.
Good price on those Cole Haans though.
Agreed. Perfect way to start my morning.
Any tips for sizing on the McPhersons? Run wide, narrow, etc.?
Those Johnston & Murphy Mcphersons are on Amazon for $85 right now. Zappos was out in my size, and I happened to scroll over my Amazon toolbar and the price came up. Lucky accident.
Don’t forget the suede Lakewood Chukkas from Land’s End (for the light bark color; pebbled leather for black and spice brown colors). On sale now for $59.99 plus an additional extra 30% off only today (8/15/12) = 59.99 – $18 + $3.36 tax = $45.35. If you add a small pair of socks to your cart, you can get free shipping (over $50).
Some good choices here. Those Lendinis are nice. The Rockport Day to Night was on sale on Jackthreads about two weeks ago in navy and sand colored suede, great looking shoe, kind of regretting not pulling the trigger.
Does anyone know how the CK drivers compare to the BR Gibsons?
How are they? Look awesome. Comfortable?
Just got these today from Amazon as well. They are crazy comfortable and as mentioned the shape is great.
This list is just killin’ it, Joe. I’m having a hard time resisting the Ciro Lendini’s.
Question for everyone: I love the look of the different colored laces as shown with some suede shoes. Where do you buy your thin, wax shoelaces? Any favorite online purveyors? Expected costs?
Thanks!
Not on sale and not sure about the quality, but JCPenney has Stafford brand suede drivers in a sand color. A store near me has them so I’m going to check them out in the next few days.

There are some on allen edmond’s site also The Shoe Snob has some on his ebay but they’re in the UK http://r.ebay.com/fP2iod
Just picked up a pair of suede monkstraps by a company called Fratelli from Zappos. Give them a search – they’re made decently (not talking AE or Alden quality here) but for $50, I don’t really care. They look great.
any more suede wingtip boots that would be recommended? the hawking mcgills and the nordstrom ones from last fall have been discontinued and I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for similar
I’m trying to put outfits together for my first sand/light brown suede oxfords I just purchased. Any posts or suggestions would be appreciated :
