I have accidentally ruined a pair of my favourite brogues by over caring for them! I have polished them regularly with a tan polish, good quality, proper wax stuff with a good polishing technique. But over the years this has coloured the embedded pattern on the leather which is the primary feature I loved on them. So much so, that I have now bought a replacement pair, and will only ever use a 'neutral' polish on them! On my original brogues, a pair of Loakes 641T, I have tried using a Q Tip with all sorts on it (various solvents) to remove the 'colour', but all to no avail.
Just thought I would post here in case anyone else wants to maintain that nice brogue contrast of the contrasting hole colour against the tan upper!
