DUKE DESSERT BOOT

The suede is so soft right out of the box, no break-in blisters at all. I got caught in a drizzle walking to dinner and the water just beaded up and rolled off, which I honestly didn't expect from suede. The pointed toe gives them a bit of polish for nights out too.

Wore these through a rainy weekend and the suede still looks brand new, which I honestly didn't expect from water-resistant leather. The pointed toe gives them a dressier edge than my old round-toe boots.

Wore these through a wet weekend in the city and my feet stayed dry, which I honestly wasn't expecting from suede. The Italian suede is soft right out of the box, no break-in needed.
