Are these dressy enough for a suit?

They work with a soft or casual suit, especially in lighter colors. For a conservative business suit or formal event, a leather-soled cap-toe or plain oxford is the safer choice.

How do they fit compared with other oxfords?

They are listed as standard fit in D width, which is the most common men's width. If you normally take wide or narrow shoes, size with that in mind or try them on before buying.

Can I wear them in rain or snow?

No. Suede absorbs water and shows salt and mud stains. Keep them for dry days and treat them with a suede protector before first wear.

What do I wear them with?

Chinos, dress pants and dark denim are the natural pairings. They also work with a casual suit. Avoid shorts and athletic wear.

How should I care for the suede?

Brush off dust with a suede brush after wearing and apply a protector spray. Store them with shoe trees and keep them away from direct heat.

When is the best time to buy?

Men's dress shoes tend to be discounted during seasonal clearance and around major holiday sales. Check the price history before buying to see whether the current price is below its usual range.
