Unique premium navy brogue
I was after something a bit different from the usual black or brown shoes, and these really stand out. The navy nubuck has a rich look to it, and the brogue detailing is very clean and precise. They feel like a proper premium shoe as soon as you take them out of the box.
Comfort is excellent, especially with the leather lining and insole. They feel supportive without being stiff, and after a couple of wears they have softened nicely. The sole feels solid and gives good grip, which is a bonus for a smarter shoe.
They work surprisingly well with a range of outfits. I have worn them with suits and also with chinos, and they add a bit of character without looking too bold. The navy colour is subtle but still different enough to get noticed.
Overall, a high quality and distinctive pair that offers great value, especially at the sale price. Definitely something a bit special compared to standard brogues.Posted on
