Black Goodyear Welted Brogue Chapman Country Boots

Additional description

Country boots transcend time and suit all age groups. Brogue designs, when combined with English style, give a shoe unmistakeable charm, sophistication and charisma. This stunning black Goodyear welted brogue country boot combines all the efforts of traditional shoemaking with modern style and comfort technology.

Goodyear welt is the machine invented by Charles Goodyear Jr. and is used to stitch shoes by adding a single leather or plastic piece along the perimeter of the shoe which gives this Brogue shoe one of the most durably stitched designs.

A brogue shoe is the type of shoe that features sturdy pieces of leather stitched on top of each other with patterns made on top using perforations commonly called ‘broguing’. These shoes have been a tradition of Ireland and Scotland but branched out over the centuries to become fashion statements rather than practical necessities. Originally, the main purpose for perforations on top of the shoe (mainly on the toe) was to drain the water which would enter the shoe when the wearer crossed a watery place such as a bog. This is no longer the shoe’s purpose, especially in the case of the black goodyear welted brogue country boot, which can stand up to all weather types without getting your foot wet.

This marvellously unique men’s outdoor boot looks fantastic with a pair of jeans, a black padded jacket and casual button up shirt. It’s better to be worn in the winter due to the sturdy nature of the boot. Given the brown rear tab and brown outer part to the sole, you could add splashes of brown to your outfit too. It features many eyelets also, so you can decide to do it all the way up or leave the top part slightly undone for a more casual look.
