Sure. If you don’t like your shoes. Rain and stain don’t do shit for road salt.

Yolo just wear it. As long as u dont step in puddles or snow with salt(not sure if yall use salt for snow there) i would just do it

It depends on how you want your shoes to look. I have actual high end boots and shoes made of suede and roughout that I put through rivers and puddles and mud and snow and they just shrug it off. However this adds to patina. If I want my sneaker-quality suede to look new then I’d keep them dry and sheltered

Can? Yes. It’s a free world.

Should you? Not if you want them to last.
