My black suede desert boots look fantastic after two years use, on rotation. They get two days wear a week on average.
After a quick brush down before I leave the house, the suede looks great. They get soaked regularly on my bike, with some newspaper stuff inside they dry well, after a brush down they look good as new. I do not witness the hard-to-maintain suede people talk of.
There are a few examples of successful resoling of desert boots out there on the web. Crepe soles seem to last for quite a while but it's reassuring to see that the uppers can be resoled too.
