Ah suede, you’re so misunderstood. Some say you should be pampered, while others argue you should be deployed strictly at certain times of the year. To all these doubters, I say embrace this leather for its unique qualities and wear with reckless abandon. Learn to love your suede boots and shoes the same way you love your well worn tee’s and jeans: by leaning into the change to the texture and color.

I have a hunch that Colorado’s Truman Boot Co. and Canoe Club both feel the same way, as they collaborated within state lines on this snuff suede boot. And to calm the nerves, the reversed (suede-side out) waxy Rocky Mohawk leather lends a helping hand for those wary of mixing suede with the elements. Further encouraging off-road usage is its Dainite sole, providing durable traction rain or shine, constructed with resoling in mind. Other details include brass eyelets, leather laces and an unstructured perforated cap toe. Both Truman and Canoe Club feel that this is a boot for all occasions and hey, I don’t disagree.

Available for $580 exclusively at Canoe Club.
