Brogues

Classic and charismatic, a brogue shoe or boot is perfect for any gentleman that wants to complete his smart casual or formal look. We are proud to offer a huge range of brogue shoes across multiple designer brands including Jeffrey West and John White, and due to the versatility of the offering, we guarantee you’ll find the right style for you. Broguing can be found on casual or dress shoes, as well as a variety of men’s boots. It has an interesting history, because brogues were originally worn by Celtic farmers so that water would drain through the perforations away from the foot. Of course, due to the way the style evolved, brogues are now a hallmark of sophistication and a staple shoe every gentleman should own. 

There are a number of variations you should be aware of before purchasing a brogue. A wingtip is also known as a full brogue and features a pointed cap with a style that resembles extended bird wings. This option has the greatest amount of broguing detail. Other variations include the half brogue (or semi brogue) which features decorative perforations on the cap and along the edges. There’s also the quarter brogue which has the least amount of broguing compared to the other two styles. For a dress Brogue, you might like to browse our selection by John White or Oliver Sweeney.
