Are these shoes suitable for formal business events?

How should I care for the leather?
Clean with a soft cloth, condition regularly with a leather conditioner, and protect with a suitable spray. Use shoe trees for storage.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch the leather gently.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a leather conditioner and/or a matching color shoe cream or polish. Follow the product instructions for application and buffing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
New shoe soles can sometimes be slippery. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface (like concrete or a coarse mat) can improve traction. If the issue persists, consider a professional cobbler for alternative sole options.
Water spots or minor scuffs appear.
For water spots, allow the shoes to dry naturally away from heat and then condition. For minor scuffs, a colored shoe polish or cream can often help mask them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These brogues require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The 'Skipton' brogues are designed for men's footwear and are compatible with a wide range of smart-casual and business attire, including suits, trousers, and chinos.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not overly wet, and allow to air dry.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a dedicated shoe cream or polish that matches the brown color.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against the elements, although excessive moisture should still be avoided.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees made of cedar wood is recommended to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
