These Uggs are NOT suede, the outer material is leather making them easier to take care of when dealing with cold, wet winters. The cargo pocket is a cute and functional detail. I used to be able to fit my cell phone in the cargo pocket when it was a shorter model. Normal wear, but in great condition for its age. These were sold over ten years ago. I would keep them but I am moving to a warmer climate where I will not need them anymore.
