They are compatible with business casual, smart casual, and semi-formal attire, making them a staple for various wardrobe needs.
Maintaining the quality and appearance of your leather brogues is simple with these steps:
Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality leather protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the shoes with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner, then wipe dry.
Conditioning: Every 1-3 months (or as needed, depending on wear and climate), apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and maintain its natural sheen.
Polishing: Use a blue or neutral shoe polish to cover minor scuffs and restore shine. Apply with a soft cloth, let dry, then buff to a shine with a shoe brush.
Storage: When not in use, store your brogues in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and maintain the shoe's original shape.
Drying Wet Shoes: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather.
