I saw an ad for these and one of the claims was that they are waterproof. It's hard to believe because they are suede and no other ad claims they are waterproof either. Does anyone know if they really are? Even if they were water resistent that would be good enough.

The Teva Mountain Scuff utilizes Suede material which is really soft to the touch and incredibly breathable as far as leathers go but it also tends to absorb water more than harder leathers like full grain leathers. You hit the nail on the head when you said "water resistant", as these will be ok in day to day use even it wet weather or rain but not trudging through streams or mud. On the upside, you can always apply a leather waterproofing over and over again.
