Hello all. I'm mid-thirties and pretty hopeless when it comes to clothing. I've been trying to build up a new set of clothing, casual at first.
I purchased some Gucci brown suede shoes, style number 162605. I plan to wear jeans and cords with these. Suede wasn't my first choice but there was a limited selection available in my size and I think these do look quite nice.
I live in Ireland and am wondering what I should do about the soles being slippery? I plan to where these out to pubs, etc and am worried about slipping when the ground is wet. These are my first shoes with leather soles.
The sales person suggested that I get some rubber strips(?) put on the bottom. The other option he suggested was to scrape them up on rough ground (he does this with his own) but said that having rubber put on the bottom would be better.
I've been reading the posts on this site and realize that this is a bit basic for the calibre of information here. But these shoes were expensive for me and I wouldn't want to 'dork them up' if putting rubber on the bottom is a big no no. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
