Maintaining the comfort and light-weight design that New Balance is known for, the 1400 collection was upgraded with detailed accents to complement the spirit of Holiday season. The New Balance 1400 Holiday Collection includes 3 pairs with updated color combination : green/navy, tan/maroon and black/blue. Any pair would look good with jeans. Knowing New Balance, these shoes would be good for working out as well. I don’t think you should be limited to only wearing the shoes these time around. The look and designs are also versatile for Spring and Summer seasons.

The holiday collection is available at Zappos and pickyourshoes.com for $120.

This Fall 2009 PF Flyers Number 5 collection has 15 different “cloudbreak” seasonal colors. It comes in brown, dark brown, white, tan, light brown, forest green, black, orange, green, dark grey, and navy in leather and gross grain textures.

The darker colors are more appealing to me than the lighter ones. Maybe the Fall spirit is finally getting to me. Well, Fall or Summer, you’ll have a pair of PF Flyers Number 5 for sure. Each pair is a perfect footwear for casual days.

You can find the whole PF Flyers Number 5 collection at Zappos.com and Endless.com. Retail price is about $80.

BEST SUEDE: Made from the reverse, aka flesh, side of calfskin. Kidskin however is mostly used to make dressy shoes thanks to it’s fine nap. To find out if the suede is good quality, examine the shoe by working your hands through it. Check out if the inner linings and soles are made of leather. One more factor is checking if the components were stitched and not cemented. The latter have been known to fall apart which probably won’t make you happy at all.

COLOR: No Pastels. Pick in the line of chocolate, cognac, black for the Winter and light brown or tan for Summer.

STYLE: For versatility, you’d be better off with cap-toe lace ups, chukka boots, or monk-straps. Each suede shoes will work with either navy or gray suits. They won’t look bad with jeans or khakis either.

CARE: Shoe trees to insert when not word would be a good investment to give suede shoes longer life. The shoe tree will absorb sweat as well as help maintain the shoes’ shape. A soft-bristle brush to gently brush the shoes after wearing is recommended. A light stain is inevitable but don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. Just use a soft gum eraser to solve the problem.

The common dread about suede shoes is the rain. Chill. Paper towels could save the day. Stuff the suede shoes with paper towels, then place in a dry place for 24 hours and the suede shoes will come back to life like rain never happened.

The featured suede shoes is Magnanni ‘Birmingham’ Oxford, $325 from Nordstrom.
