FAQs
What type of material is the inner lining made of?

Allow mud to dry, then gently brush off excess. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean and follow with appropriate leather polish.

Brogue styling offers a classic, smart aesthetic that complements school uniforms well.
Will the sole leave marks on school floors?

These shoes are designed for children, specifically categorized under kids' sizes.
