FAQs
What does 'G Fit' mean?
'G Fit' refers to a width fitting that is slightly wider than a standard fit, offering more room for comfort, especially for those with broader feet.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While designed for formal occasions, their comfortable construction and lightweight feel make them suitable for daily wear if your profession requires smart footwear.
How should I break in my new Clarks Batcombe Wing brogues?
Wear them around the house for short periods with socks to allow the leather to mold to your feet. Gradually increase the duration of wear. Avoid wearing them for extended periods outdoors until they feel comfortable.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get damp.
What is the heel type on these brogues?
These brogues feature a block heel, providing stability and a classic look.
How do I clean the crepe-effect sole?
The sole can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite correct size.
The 'G' width fitting is designed for a slightly wider foot. If they still feel tight, consider wearing thinner socks or consult a cobbler about stretching options. If they are significantly too small, ensure you have the correct size ordered.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner and buff gently with a soft cloth. This will restore moisture and shine.
Sole is slippery on certain surfaces.
The crepe-effect sole can be less grippy than traditional rubber on wet or highly polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. For improved grip, consider having rubber sole protectors fitted by a cobbler.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape. Stuffing with shoe trees can help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's form.
