FAQs
What makes the Ortholite insole beneficial?
The Ortholite insole provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing foot fatigue.
How should I clean the leather uppers?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for water resistance, these shoes are not designed for heavy rain. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the leather and maintain comfort.
What kind of socks are best to wear with the Clarence?
Dress socks or smart casual socks made from breathable materials like cotton or wool blends are recommended to complement the shoe's style and ensure comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a little room at the toe, and the shoe should feel snug but not tight around the width and heel. Try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
What is the difference between brogue and other shoe styles?
Brogue shoes are characterized by decorative perforations, often along the seams and toe cap. This detailing gives them a distinct, traditionally stylish appearance.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure regular conditioning.
Shoe feels uncomfortable after short wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. The Ortholite insole may take some time to conform to your foot.
Brogue detailing has accumulated dirt.
Use a soft brush or a cotton swab with a mild leather cleaner to gently clean the intricate areas of the brogue detailing.
Slight scuffs on the leather surface.
Use a matching color leather polish to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional repair might be necessary.
