FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Bushwick series generally follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 9, the size 9 should provide a comfortable fit once broken in.
Can I replace the soles?
Yes. The Goodyear Welt construction is specifically designed to allow for the soles to be removed and replaced by a professional cobbler.
What is the benefit of the commando tread?
Commando soles provide significantly better grip and durability than standard leather soles, making them safer and more practical for outdoor use.
How do I care for the leather lining?
Keep the interior dry. If your feet sweat, ensure you use cedar shoe trees to wick away moisture and maintain the integrity of the buffalo leather.
Are these suitable for formal wear?
Yes, the wing-tip design is a classic choice for business and formal settings, though the commando sole gives them a slightly more robust aesthetic than a standard tuxedo shoe.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after first wear
This is normal for new Goodyear welted shoes. Continue wearing them for short intervals or use a leather conditioning cream to speed up the softening process.
Soles are showing wear
Because of the Goodyear Welt construction, you can take these to a professional cobbler to have the commando soles replaced, extending the life of the upper.
Creasing at the vamp
Use cedar shoe trees immediately after taking off the shoes to minimize deep creases and keep the leather supple.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bushwick Brogues last for years, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a soft, dry cloth. Use a leather-specific cream or conditioner to keep the material hydrated and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb moisture.
- Weatherproofing: If exposed to heavy rain, wipe dry immediately and let them air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from hardening.
