Keeping Nice Shoes Alive in Bad Weather

For Whom/What:

Someone who still insists on wearing good leather/suede shoes when the forecast says absolutely not

Budget:

$10-150

Requirements:

Safe for high-quality leather/suede

Actually tested in rain, snow, slush or salty winter streets

products that don't noticeably alter color/texture

Extra Details:

I’m not going to become the person who wears hiking boots every time it rains. But I also don’t enjoy staring at water stains on expensive suede and thinking about my poor life choices. Looking for the shoe-care products people who are genuinely obsessive about their shoes trust—especially anything that protects them before bad weather rather than trying to resurrect them afterward.
