Unpack: Carefully remove your new Frank Wright Giles Brogues from their packaging.
Lace Adjustment: Loosen the laces before inserting your foot. Once your foot is comfortably in, tighten the laces to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or keeping them too loose, which can cause rubbing.
Initial Wear: It's advisable to wear leather shoes for shorter periods (1-2 hours) during the first few wears. This allows the leather to naturally stretch and conform to the unique shape of your feet, minimizing initial stiffness.
These brogues are highly versatile and complement a wide range of outfits:
Formal Wear: Perfectly pairs with tailored suits, blazers, and dress trousers for business or formal events.
Smart Casual: Excellent with chinos, dark-wash denim, smart shirts, and sweaters for sophisticated everyday looks.
Professional Attire: An ideal choice for office environments and business casual settings, adding a touch of elegance to your work wardrobe.
Maintaining your leather brogues will ensure their longevity and keep them looking their best:
Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe off any dust or dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn grime, use a specialized leather cleaner.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on frequency of wear, to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and avoid cracking.
Polishing: Use a neutral or tan-colored shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, allow to dry, then buff vigorously with a clean brush or cloth for a brilliant finish.
Storage: Store your brogues in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to help maintain their shape, absorb moisture, and minimize creasing.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance resistance against water and stains, particularly if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions.
