Check the weather beforehand. You're smart like that.

i actually had to take off my shoes before...
but it was just to run inside my house

If it's gona rain quite a bit, then dark leather with dark laces only (you can never seem to get white laces clean again once dirty water spalshes over them!) If it's REALLY gonna piss down, then fuck, I stay at home...I hate the rain!
Fortunately, I have enough pairs to allow for practically all weather conditions.

I'll second that!

check the weather by looking out the window, weighed up with if it looks anything but dry then I won't wear them if I have to go out at lunch or anyhting further than home to the car, car to the office, and back again

I have to say this thread turned out way better then I was expecting by the title however so good work all round

I'm not Southern, I'll have you know.

If you can go out in the rain with suede kicks on and not care you've got to be

1. rich

2. wearing an old pair.

Don't think it matters which part of the country you're in if it pisses it down and you've got suede kicks on, personally.

Rain = kryptonite to suede

Bollocks!

How about 3. - Not a fucking pedant

Rain does not ruin suede unless you plan on walking around in it for a week, a bit of TLC and they'll be good as new!

Trainer pedant.

I fookin am!

I know rain ruins suede, it's happened to me on more than one occasion. It can also cause the material to splodge or colours to run into each other. Had a beautiful pair of blue noike Court Traditions that got bloody huge splash stains on them from the rain! Looked like I'd gone mental with some bleach or something.

The rain is not too bad, it's the mud and dirt that follows the rain I worry about. I don't think a pair of light coloured suede Bad Boys will look too good if worn on a rainy day...

hmmm.. ive never seen the outcome of rain on suede...

what actually happens to the suede?

Bad Boys are suede??

edit: Well I'll be damned. No wonder people find them remotely nice in any way shape or form. I wonder'd what it ws that made people put up with those horrible stripes

This is a contradiction in terms:

"a beautiful pair of blue noike Court Traditions "
