Leather-soled shoes can absorb water, and if it absorbs too much, the soles might crack and break. GQ also has a few easy tips on getting rid of existing water stains and reviving your shoes. Not everyone can handle tall boots during rainy days. Just like with any article of clothing, fabrics can easily get wet and feel heavy when it gets wet. Canvas shoes are no exception to this. Although, Bustle does advise that these kinds of shoes can let your feet breathe.

These materials do come in different colors so that category would be a tie and suede will win out in the durability comparison.
Since it is made from leather and canvas from cotton, the suede material will last a lot longer. The general consensus is that suede is better than canvas when it comes to skateboarding. Skateboarders are not so much interested in keeping the shoes clean as they are hoping their shoes will last. That is what suede does better than canvas-- it lasts longer. Canvas has a tendency to rip at the wrong times and quite easily.
That is not a good characteristic to have when you have a heavy skateboarding competition to participate in. While canvas is lighter than suede, that is a property that works against that material making it more vulnerable to the scraping, sliding, and banging of the hard surfaces skateboarders skate on. Then the word is that most canvas shoes are so weak that they do not last even two skateboarding sessions.
But they are a good shoe if you are only going to go cruising and not do a lot of tricks or hard maneuvers. Both fabrics have their place in the skating world. There are some good shoes made from both materials but suede just has the upper edge. The reason for that edge is that suede comes from a tougher, more durable source than canvas does.
Being made from cotton fibers means that canvas has all the negative aspects that are found in those fibers. Those negatives seem to overwhelm the material when made into shoes. While some canvas materials are very thick and tough to tear, those properties do not appear when it is made into shoes. Shoe canvas has to be lighter than other canvas materials due to the purpose of the shoes.
The other canvas materials have more difficult tasks to perform thus they are a lot tougher than shoe canvas. This is the reason skateboarders prefer suede shoes over canvas ones.
The suede option will last longer and hold up under more difficult maneuvers than canvas will. The shoes made and sold by Vans come in both canvas and suede materials. Sometimes they are combined and you get the best of both fabrics in your shoes. Which one you buy will be up to your preference and needs.
Many of their canvas shoes are made for children as kids put a lot of wear and tear on their shoes, getting them dirty, and so on. It is cheaper to replace canvas shoes than suede ones and a lot easier to clean them. But the good thing about this situation is that you get some great shoes to select from. The shoes, no matter what they are made from, do come in some nice colors and designs.
Good leather shoes are known to last for decades. They are that durable, especially when they are well looked after. Suede will come close to lasting as long but it is the weaker of the two materials. Because suede is more fragile than leather is, do not expect them to last or stay in as good a shape as leather will. When it comes to general shoe care, suede shoes are much simpler to maintain than either leather or canvas shoes. This might sound incorrect, taking care of suede has been traditionally contended to be very painful, but that is not true.
Yes, you should avoid wearing suede in really harsh weather, but salt and water stains formed as a result are also easy to remove from suede.
Besides, a dark coloured suede shoe will hide stains better than any other shoe. Note the easier shoe care does not mean no shoe care. Whether it is canvas, leather or suede, you would have regularly care for your shoes to keep them looking good.
Canvas shoes come a close second — cleaning dirty canvas shoes requires you to really get in there with mild soap water and a brush. I think it would be better and safer to use some elbow crease and clean them by hand. Finally, leather shoes require the most care to keep them looking healthy.
Conditioners, creams and polishes need to be regularly applied on leather shoes if you want to maintain them. Fine quality leather shoes are known to last for decades, sometimes even passed down from one generation to the next. Compare that with canvas shoes that are likely to wear out over time, and we know who the clear winner is here. Suede is close to leather in terms of durability, but it is still a little delicate.
Suede handles inclement weather better than leather, though. The break-in period refers to the amount of time it takes for a new pair of shoes to become comfortable on your feet.
It is a topic of much discussion in the shoe community, as different people have different experiences with break-in periods. Generally, new leather shoes will be a bit stiff and fit snug on your feet. This should not be confused with a bad fit : your shoes should always be comfortable from the first day, but they will take some time for you to get used to it. As you wear them more and more, the leather will warm up and mold to the shape of your feet which will then make them very comfortable.
It is this time period that is called the break-in period of a shoe. Leather boots have a longer break-in period than leather shoes due to their overall construction.
However, canvas shoes do not require breaking-in at all. They will always fit and feel the same way they did on the day you first bought them. You need a separate suede brush for brushing the shoes, and also the suede sprays need to be applied evenly from a distance. Your experience with leather care will help you in handling suede and will also make its care easier. They are easy to style, and cleaning canvas shoes involves merely a brush and sometimes soapy water.
In its raw form, leather is basically animal skin. To ensure that it is useful enough to make shoes, this skin needs to go through quite a lot of processing. This increases the cost of construction of a pair of leather or suede shoes, which makes them expensive to buy.
Canvas, on the other hand, is made from hemp fibres and does not require as much processing as leather would. The retail costs of canvas shoes are low for the very same reason. Be it to the office, or a hangout with friends — there is probably some variation or style of leather shoes that is appropriate for the occasion.
