Occasions: Suitable for events like dinners, parties, or semi-formal gatherings.
Proper care is crucial for extending the life and maintaining the appearance of your leather brogues:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months (or more frequently if worn often) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and buff gently.
Polishing: For a polished shine, apply a shoe polish that matches the blue leather color. Use a soft brush or cloth to apply, then buff with a clean brush or cloth.
Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry them away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage leather.
Storage: When not in use, store your brogues in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing creases.
