Suede Leather

What’s the difference between ballroom shoes with suede and leather soles?
What’s the difference between a ballroom shoe with black suede sole and one with white leather soles? I was thinking the suede has good traction, but since it accumulates dirt easily, the one with white leather soles would have better traction (until brushed off) in the end, even though it seems slippery at first, since it doesn’t accumulate dirt as easily (they just slip right off).
The difference is suede will give you proper traction and the other won’t. You wanna get the ones with suede sole, unless it is your intention to dance on particularly dirty floors. Suede is easily cleaned with a wire brush to restore it. Suede is the best material to give you proper traction for ballroom dancing. A pair of suede-soled shoes lasts me about a year, and the sole is NOT the part that wears out first. My partner wears his suede-soled shoes even longer, probably like 2-3 years. They really do last with proper care.

Suede $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Suede is a type of leather with a napped finish. However, it can also refer to a similar napped or brushed finish on many kinds of fabrics. The term comes from the French gants de Sude, which literally means gloves of Sweden. Suede leather is made from the under side of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, pig, calf and deer are commonly used. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded but due to the fiber nature have a shaggy nap. Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, suede is less durable but softer than standard ( fullgrain ) leather. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses; suede was originally used for womens gloves.
