They need to be waterproofed with special care products before use. They don´t get damaged by snow, only by melted snow.

I would buy a good water repellent no matter the advertising says. That's been my experience to this point.

Not as bad as suede but yes somewhat

I own suede sneakers and they started to darken as soon as I tried to clean them with a damp cloth... I can't get rid of that thing... I want to buy some trappers, but they are made of nubuck and snow is basically water, and I wonder if they will get ruined

Those shoes look good quality and made for winters so it won't get damaged as bad as suede and will be very good if they have water protection. But still they can get damaged in snow because it's not as weather friendly like normal leather
there are some suede shoes also coming out with water protection

It's not naturally waterproof so not unless it's been specially treated.
