FAQs
1. Are brogues good to pair with jeans or are they too formal?
You can definitely wear them with jeans. Pick a slim or straight-fit pair in a dark wash and team it with brown or tan brogues for a smart-casual look.
2. Which colour brogues should I buy first, black or tan?
If you mostly wear dark formal trousers, black is a safe choice. But if your wardrobe has plenty of navy, beige or lighter shades, tan brogues can be a better match.
3. Do brogues need to be broken in before wearing them all day?
Some leather styles can feel a bit stiff when you first get them. Wear them for shorter periods of time at first to allow your feet to get used to them.
4. How do I keep my brogues from looking dusty and dull?
After use, wipe them off with a soft, dry cloth. If you have real leather shoes you can also protect the finish with an appropriate leather conditioner.
