I have suede wingtip boots (do those count?). Great with corduroys - as well as jeans. And flannel of course!

I have a pair of beautiful light tan (almost beige) suede wingtips by an italian brand called franseschetti and they are my favorites during spring.
They are not an english type heavy wingtip but more of a very very lightweight style that is pretty narrow (no stitching around the sole on the top) and elegant

They go great with jeans and a white shirt for a summer look

Oh they are only those cheap J. Crew boots (NWT 35.00 from fleabay) shown in the various boots/inexpensive shoe threads.

I love them. They go with everything but suits, unless you're trying to dress down the suit to a dressy casual.

blue jeans, gray flannel, maybe even a flannel suit.

I have a pair but never wear them because of my fear that suede at street level in NYC is a filth magnet.

I think suede is one of the few instances where I like broguing on shoes. They seem to play off one another well.

My thoughts are that I need a pair.

I think they look very good with flannel (as mentioned above), sports suits, sports jackets.
