Are these shoes suitable for formal business wear?

How should I clean my leather brogues?

What is the sole made of?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after first wear.
Leather shoes often require a 'breaking-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler if discomfort persists.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, use a matching-colored shoe polish and buff gently.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
The synthetic sole may offer less grip in wet or highly polished conditions. Consider having a professional cobbler add rubber inserts or a grip sole for enhanced traction if this is a frequent concern.
