The Brogue

A brogue is a type of shoe characterized by its decorative perforations and often a distinctive wingtip design. Originating in Scotland and Ireland, brogues were traditionally made from untanned leather used by workers walking through wet terrain. Today, they come in various styles, including full, semi, and quarter brogues, indicating the extent of the perforations. While they were initially practical footwear, brogues have evolved into a fashionable option suitable for both formal and casual occasions, blending classic craftsmanship with contemporary style.
