Is it okay to wear suade shoes, not white bucks, in the summer? Or are they strictly for fall and winter?

"Strictly"? No, it's not OK. That is indeed an old "rule." (Flat-earthers ***** all you want, but the rule once existed and was followed.)

Personally, I don't care and don't follow it. I have some light colored suede shoes that I wear in summer. I tend not to wear dark suede, like mink, but then in general I wear light shoes all summer long, except when black is required for some reason or another.

I wear suede in summer; shoes in summer get hot no matter what they're made of. If I wear suede in warm weather, I stick to neutral colors. btw: the tailor's brush I use, works great on suede shoes, too.

I wear suede oxfords with cords and a casual shirt or flannel trousers and a end-on-end shirt. Suede loafers with chinos / polos.
