Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.
Compatibility:
These formal brogues are highly compatible with:
- Tailored trousers
- Suits (business and formal)
- Chinos for smart-casual wear
Care:
To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather brogues:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner or cream regularly (e.g., monthly, or as needed based on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
- Polishing: Use a matching black shoe polish to cover scuffs and restore shine. Apply thinly and buff to a high sheen.
- Protection: Consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
