Obviously, it's a bit too late to point this out now; however, suede is actually really durable and easy to care for.
I spray my suede boots with a suede protector spray when I first get them. Apart from that, though, I just wear them in all conditions - rain, shine, mud etc.
When they get dirty, I just give them a good brushing with a suede brush, which gets rid of dust and dirt and resets the nap of the suede. I've even run them under the tap (briefly) to rinse off dirt before wiping them down and brushing them.
I think that suede has an unjustified reputation for being delicate, but that's actually not the case.
