Mens Brogues

Men’s brogues

Traditionally a work-man’s shoe from Scotland and Ireland, the brogue is now worn for most semi-formal occasions. The design was created using the multiple panels for strength while the punch detailing in the upper allowed water to drain out.

Traditionally made from untanned leather, brogues now come in a variety of colours and materials. The use of leathers allows the shoes to be breathable while allowing the shoes to hug the feet with wear. Lace fastenings allow the brogues to be adjusted for a secure fit, perfect for those with a narrower heel or a high instep. Brogue detailing features serrated edges of the toe cap along with perforated or punch detailing usually concentrated over the toe cap.

Brogues come in 4 main designs with variations of colour and patterning. The Full Brogue or Wingtip has a feature a pointed toe- cap with the sides of the toe cap or ‘wings’ extending along the sides of the shoe.  Ghillie Brogues are a full brogue without a tongue and with longer laces, originally designed for quicker drying and to keep the laces out of the mud. Ghillie brogues are now worn with traditional kilt outfits for weddings and events. The Semi or Half Brogue features a perforated toe can with serrated edging, often worn with suits. Quarter Brogues feature a serrated edge toe cap without the perforated detailing for a more formal appearance.
