Suede Slouch Boots
Classic style combined with unequaled durability!
Welcome to our website. Here you can find information about suede slouch boots. Since their inception, suede slouch boots have served many purposes and rolls. We can see that in the variety of today’s styles.
Suede boots were originally considered inferior to their leather counterparts for a variety of reasons. The main reason was the unavailability of modern fabric protecting chemicals and cleaning products. Less than one hundred years ago, suede garments and boots were durable yet easily stained. Today’s suede boots are both durable and stain resistant thanks to technological advances making suede as water and stain resistant as finished leather.
While originally designed to serve as both a high, mid range and low cut boot, the suede slouch boot has been transformed from its originally pragmatic only form into something more fashionable. Maintaining the look of the original slouch boot’s appearance has been mastered by today’s designers and manufacturers such as Colin Stuart, Anne Michelle, Steve Madden and Matisse. Below we have more information about the various styles, cuts and heel types currently available in suede slouch boots.
Today’s high slouch boots provide a unique appearance and superior protection from the elements as most versions extend to the knee. Typically this style is made from leather, but one can still find high suede slouch boots anywhere slouch boots are sold. If one is wearing for fashion more than form, the high heeled boot is your best choice. The tapered lines at the foot create a far more feminine appearance than the thick appearance around the ankle caused by a flat soled shoe or boot.
On the topic of sole types, one can find virtually any type of cut matched to any type of sole. The ankle cut, high heel version provides a trendy retro look that has been making a steady comeback. Flat suede slouch boots should be your choice if you need a boot with traction and adequate protection from the elements. There are also options in between such as the wedge sole slouch boot that provides some heel elevation without completely sacrificing traction.
One of the most popular styles of suede slouch boots is the western cut. Arguably the closest relative to original boot design, this style remains a favorite after nearly three hundred years. Today’s styles incorporate a variety of colors, height cuts, heel types and accessories. This style retains all of the utilitarian features without compromising style. They are typically made from thicker cuts of suede to provide more protection from the elements.
Suede slouch boots have played an enduring role in American history for both men and women.
