FAQs

Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if worn often or in harsh conditions.
Can I use any leather cleaner?
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for leather shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals.
How do I clean the brogue detailing?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt from the brogue detailing, followed by a damp cloth.
What should I do if my shoes get wet?
Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture.
Are the soles replaceable?

How do I prevent creasing?
Use shoe trees when storing the shoes to help maintain their shape and minimize creasing.

Troubleshooting
Leather is scuffed or scratched.
Use a leather cleaner and a matching color polish to buff out the scratches. Apply leather conditioner afterward.
Shoes feel too stiff and uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods and gradually increase wear time to break in the leather. Use leather softeners if necessary.
Sole is wearing down unevenly.
Inspect your gait and seek professional advice if necessary. Replace the soles when worn beyond repair.
Yellow stitching is fading.
Use a specialized yellow wax or polish designed for leather stitching to restore color.
