Johnson suede boat shoe by over 300 CAD and the 825 USD original retail of Tod's by roughly 700 CAD, while still using a genuine suede upper — positioning it as the most affordable genuine suede boat shoe from a department-store private label, with a price that suggests curation rather than corner-cutting."},"entry_quotes":{"175_cad_vs_l_l_bean_and_tod_s":[{"url":"https://www.llbean-ca.com/p/mens-casco-bay-boat-mocs/","quote":"CA $109.00"},{"url":"https://shop.simon.com/products/boat-shoes-in-suede","quote":"crafted in soft calfskin suede"},{"url":"https://shop.simon.com/products/boat-shoes-in-suede","quote":"825.00"}],"genuine_suede_at_a_non_designer_price":[{"url":"https://robbreport.com/style/footwear/p-johnson-boat-shoes-review-1234682493/","quote":"Buy Now: $495 AUD"},{"url":"https://shop.simon.com/products/boat-shoes-in-suede","quote":"825.00"}]},"entry_sources":{"175_cad_vs_l_l_bean_and_tod_s":["https://www.llbean-ca.com/p/mens-casco-bay-boat-mocs/","https://shop.simon.com/products/boat-shoes-in-suede"],"genuine_suede_at_a_non_designer_price":["https://robbreport.com/style/footwear/p-johnson-boat-shoes-review-1234682493/","https://shop.simon.com/products/boat-shoes-in-suede"]}},"suede_ageing_and_patina":{"title":"How suede ages and develops character","entries":{"burnished_sheen_vs_colour_shift":"Unlike full-grain vegetable-tanned leather that dramatically deepens in colour, genuine suede ages primarily through surface burnishing—the nap flattens and gains a glossy live-in sheen with wear, resulting in a more subtle evolution of texture and lustre rather than a profound colour change.","directional_patina_on_light_suede":"The natural skin oils deposited during wear and the friction of foot movement will cause sand-coloured suede to darken unevenly at high-contact areas like the collar, vamp, and heel, creating a unique darker patina that maps the wearer's specific gait and handling habits, as opposed to the lightening that occurs on dark suede.","proven_longevity_in_enthusiast_rotations":"Well-cared-for suede footwear can remain exceptionally presentable for decades—a member of the AskAndy clothing forum reported owning a pair of chocolate buck oxfords that 'still look marvelous' after 28 years, with only minimal creasing and a subtle lightening of colour over nearly three decades, indicating the same durable potential for these boat shoes provided they receive regular brushing and proper storage."},"entry_quotes":{"burnished_sheen_vs_colour_shift":[{"url":"https://leather-note.com/leather-patina-explained-how-to-develop/","quote":"Suede / nubuck | Minimal | Ages by wear and sheen, not colour shift"}],"directional_patina_on_light_suede":[{"url":"https://joseluisrocha.com/blog/2022/3/16/how-does-suede-age","quote":"for lighter sand colors and earth tones - the same patina will develop as a darker wear."}],"proven_longevity_in_enthusiast_rotations":[{"url":"https://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/threads/how-do-suede-shoes-age.164855/","quote":"My oldest is a lovely pair for 28-year-old Church oxfords in chocolate buck, and they still look marvelous."},{"url":"https://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/threads/how-do-suede-shoes-age.164855/","quote":"Aside from normal, minimal creasing, the suede of my shoes doesn't look very different from when it was new.
