The word brogue is derived from Irish Gaelic and Scottish, and unsurprisingly used to be worn in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. It was considered to be a sturdy, outdoor shoe made of untanned leather, but is today a smart shoe that can be worn with almost all smart and smart-casual outfits. Traditionally the upper of a brogue was made of multiple pieces of leather with serrated edges, and featured decorative perforations known as broguing.
This Derby brogue is fully lined in luxurious leather and features a padded leather insole for optimum comfort during wear. The laces are a chocolate brown colour, adding to the indulgent look of this shoe. The John White branding can be seen on the insole and on the sole of the shoe.
You will not struggle to style with this shoe. Its hand antiqued tan polished leather will slot effortlessly into your existing wardrobe, making it an ideal addition. A tan brogue pairs effortlessly with navy blue suits for work, and also works well with pale grey suits. The versatility of this brogue means that it can also be worn in the evenings to restaurants, bars or social events when styled with your smartest denim jeans or trousers.
