Broguing can be found on casual or dress shoes, as well as a variety of men’s brogue 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, punched footwear 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 (or semi) brogue which features decorative perforations on the cap and along the edges. Oxford shoes are commonly mistaken as brogues, but the distinction is clear and straightforward as Oxfords simply refer to the design of the eyelet tabs.
