This is because the leather is very breathable and keeps the feet at a good temperature.

How to clean suede or suede shoes?
You have to keep in mind that, although suede or suede leather are very resistant, they can be susceptible to stains and you have to know how to act.
Dust and mud stains.
Removing mud or dust stains on suede leather is very simple. First, you must wait for the stain to dry before you can remove it. To do this, the only thing you will need is a specific brush for this material. It is very important that you always brush in the same direction. With care you will remove all the dirt with the brushing.
Stains from scratches and trampling.
The first option should always be the special brush that we mentioned before. But if the stain persists, you can remove the stains from the split leather with a suede or suede eraser. You can use a specialized one for it, or make it with the eraser of a lifetime. As if you were going to erase something written, use the rubber on the surface with the chafing, and then brush the shoe again.
Grease or oil stains.
These stains can be the most difficult to remove, but not impossible. The first thing to do, if the stain is still fresh, is to press it with a dry cloth (preferably cotton). This way we will be able to remove a large part of the stain, and excess moisture. Something important is not to rub the stain, because the only thing you will achieve is to spread it. Then you will use talcum powder to absorb what is left, and then you can brush the shoe with gentle movements in the same direction.
If the stain persists, we will have to wet the shoe with water and apply neutral soap. We will rub without much force, and then we will let the footwear dry in the open air, without the sun.
Persistent stains.
If you have tried all of the above and the stains continue, we recommend that you use water with ammonia. With a few simple drops of ammonia reduced in water, and rubbing with a cloth, it will be enough.
Likewise, you will let your shoes dry away from the sun.
Clever! You would already have your shoes like new!
