Black Suede Sneakers

During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale earlier this year, I bought these Vince Suede Sneakers in black. I wear a lot of black in the fall and winter, and I thought these would be a perfect cold-weather alternative to the black Allbirds Tree Runners I wear almost every day. My suede sneakers are also available at Zappos, DSW, and Bloomingdale’s. If you don’t find them on sale (I paid under $150 for them), click the heart below the image of these sneakers for a sale alert. You’ll also find older colors of this style on Nordstrom Rack.

I love the tan sole, but there are a few suede styles with white soles too:

Other Popular Colors For Suede Sneakers

If black isn’t your color, you’ll find plenty of options in brown, burgundy, gray, olive, and other popular fall/winter colors. Consider the casual pieces in your closet and pair them with darker colors. Lighter suede is beautiful but difficult to keep clean! For a pop of color, try red!

What Styles Of Suede Sneakers Are Trending?

What I’m seeing most this year is low-profile sneakers (cut low at the ankles) with minimal midsoles. Most have a logo or design on the side in a contrasting color. Soles are natural rubber (gum-soled), white, or cream, or they may match the shoe color.

I’ve also seen quite a few sneaker-mules; slip-ons with faux laces.

Which Sneakers Are Out Of Style?

This year, I’m not seeing the chunky Dad sneakers and high platform sneakers that we saw a few years ago. You’ll still see running shoes with heavy soles, but as fashion sneakers, these are looking dated. Opt for low-profile, retro, low-heel sneakers instead.

How To Wear Suede Sneakers

Suede sneakers are very versatile, as they are both casual and sophisticated. Wear them with jeans and stretchy pants, but also try midi skirts and casual dresses.

How To Care For Suede Sneakers

Suede’s texture makes it a little more susceptible to dirt and stains, so I usually wear my suede shoes and boots on dry days. I still spray them with a waterproof spray (mine is this one), just in case, and I brush them when I come in to remove any surface dirt. Always test your cleaner in a small area to make sure that it doesn’t stain or damage your shoes.
