FAQs

What type of leather is used for the Clarence brogue?

The Clarence brogue is crafted from smooth, premium leather for a refined appearance and feel.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the combination of premium leather and a cushioned Ortholite insole makes them comfortable and durable for everyday smart-casual wear.

How should I clean my Base London Clarence shoes?

Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. Periodically use a quality leather polish or cream and consider a waterproofing spray.

What does 'brogue' mean in relation to these shoes?

'Brogue' refers to the style of shoe characterized by decorative perforations, often along the seams and toe cap.

What is an Ortholite insole?

Ortholite is a type of insole material known for its excellent cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to long-lasting comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it's advisable to protect them from excessive moisture. Using a waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to heavy rain is recommended.

What other colours are available for the Clarence series?

The Clarence series is available in various colours, including Brown and Blue, in addition to this Black variant.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce creasing. Condition the leather regularly.

Insole feels stiff initially

The Ortholite insole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The insole will mold to your foot.

Scuffs or scratches on the leather

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching colour leather polish or cream, applying it gently to the affected area.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider using insoles designed for added arch support or cushioning.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather Clarence brogues:

  2. Polish: Periodically use a good quality leather polish or shoe cream matching the shoe's colour to restore shine and protect the leather. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff.
  3. Condition: For deep conditioning, use a leather conditioner every few months to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.
  4. Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
  5. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
