Base London Clarence Brougue Shoe - Black - Size: 7

Merino wool or cotton blend dress socks are recommended for comfort and breathability. Avoid very thick socks which might make the shoes feel tight.

The shoes are made of leather and while they offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a waterproofing spray for added protection.

Conditioning once every 2-3 months is generally recommended, depending on wear and climate. More frequent conditioning may be needed in dry environments.

The Clarence Brogue shoe is best suited for smart-casual or business-casual settings. For very formal events, a more minimalist dress shoe might be more appropriate.

The Ortholite insole provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to superior all-day comfort.

Allow mud to dry first, then gently brush it off. Use a damp cloth to wipe away remaining dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using shoe trees can also help stretch them slightly.

Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. This will restore moisture and shine to the leather.

For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a colored leather polish that matches the shoe color to conceal the damage.

Some new shoe soles can be slippery. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface or using an anti-slip sole treatment can improve traction.
