I wanted to take mine out for a spin today, but couldn’t bear their maiden voyage being in such horrendous weather.

You could have done like bemk and just carried them.

And here they are: Skyes in Navy Suede, I really like suede!
Of course I will choose other trousers for the real first wear...

Hi @shoeinvestor
How are you enjoying the Navy suede Skye’s? Do you have any more photos of them with other trousers?

I’ve got the last pair in my size on hold with the Dutch store at the moment and just deciding whether to go for it.

Any feedback much appreciated!

Thanks
Tim

Is that Navy or Ocean Suede? I ask because I'm getting ready to place a MTO for a pair of ocean suede Boston loafers. I live in an area that is warm and gets very little rain, I find that suede is really easy to take care of, and the vamp does not crease as much. The saphir suede spray that has almond oil and a bit if blue pigment in it makes them look new again - it's just an amazing product. I have quite a few pairs of blue suede shoes - I think the shade of blue you have with these would look great with very light wash blue jeans. I have the following pair of jeans, I wear them with suede that are similar to what you have on, as well as dark blue Pembroke's that I pair with light blue laces....

Zwartjes list them as Navy Suede. However, they are somewhat lighter in colour than my C&J Hyle in Navy Suede. I would not rely too much on colour consistency. For example, I have a pair of Camberleys in Tobacco Suede which have the exact same colour as all my Snuff Suede C&Js.

Sorry, due to my somewhat larger rotation, I have worn them only thrice so far and I really like them. I only took the following photos with another pair of trousers. But I also wear them with muted red twill trousers.
