FAQs

What type of leather is used for the Clarence shoe?

The Base London Clarence shoe is crafted from smooth, premium leather, chosen for its refined appearance and durability.

How do I clean my Clarence brogue shoes?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner periodically and use a matching shoe polish for scuffs and shine.

Is the Ortholite insole removable?

While the Ortholite insole is designed for permanent comfort, its construction generally allows for limited flexibility. However, it is not intended to be removed for replacement.

What occasions are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are ideal for smart-casual occasions, suitable for business casual settings, social gatherings, and everyday stylish wear. They are not intended for highly formal events.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are made from leather and are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance, it is advisable to protect them with a suitable leather protector spray for use in wet conditions.

What other colors are available in the Clarence series?

The Clarence series is available in classic Black and Tan, as well as Blue (in both leather and suede options), depending on the specific model and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a quality leather conditioner generously and allow it to soak in. Repeat if necessary. Ensure you are conditioning regularly.

Scuff marks are visible

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a matching color shoe polish and apply with a soft cloth, then buff to a shine.

Insole feels uncomfortable after initial wear

The Ortholite insole may need a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

New soles can sometimes be slippery. Wear them in different conditions or consider a gentle scuffing of the sole on a rough surface to improve grip.
