FAQs

What type of leather is used for the upper?

The upper is made from premium navy calf leather, which is antique finished at the toe and heel.

Is the sole made of leather?

No, the sole is a super lightweight and durable Finproject Extralight EVA sole, topped with a leather-stitched rand.

How should I clean these brogues?

Wipe with a damp cloth and use a navy leather conditioner or polish to maintain the leather. Allow to air dry naturally if wet.

Are these suitable for formal events?

These are best described as smart-casual or casual. While stylish, they may not be formal enough for black-tie events. They are ideal for business-casual settings.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it's recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather if you anticipate encountering wet conditions.

What does 'brogue punch detail' mean?

Brogueing refers to the decorative perforations or 'punch' details along the seams of the shoe, a traditional shoemaking technique.

What is the benefit of the Extralight sole?

The Finproject Extralight EVA sole makes the shoe significantly lighter than traditional dress shoes, enhancing comfort for extended wear without sacrificing durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Creasing on the leather.

Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

The Finproject Extralight EVA sole offers good grip, but like all footwear, may be slippery on very smooth or wet surfaces. Consider a protective sole spray or visit a cobbler if persistent slippage is an issue.

Colour fading or scuff marks.

Use a navy leather polish or cream to restore colour and cover scuff marks. For deeper scratches, a professional shoe repair service may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure they fit comfortably before wearing them for extended periods. Adjust the laces for a secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males. These shoes are best suited for smart-casual and casual wear. They pair well with trousers, chinos, and dark jeans.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after cleaning, to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. Use a cream or wax polish specific to navy leather for colour restoration and protection.
  3. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or their original box. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
