I really like those. Perhaps the best looking suede boots out there. How often do they come up in your rotation?
These are mainly wet weather/snow boots to me, so how often I wear them depends on the weather. Sometimes I don’t wear them for a couple of weeks but then I might wear them twice the same week.
I really like suede boots for wet weather, I’m considering getting one (or eventually both...) of these two Alden boots:

I also like suede for wet weather unless there is salt on the ground.

What product(s) do you use to weatherproof your suede?

I bought a pair of handgrade shoes, and noticed the eyelets on the underside don't have any metal rivets. All my other shoes do. Is this something to be concerned about?

I’ve never done anything to my rough out. Seems pretty impervious.

Not at all. In some respects it’s a quality marker in that the leather doesn’t require metal reinforcement. FWIW G&G AND Vass also don’t feature metal eyelet reinforcement.
