MENS BROGUE SHOES Sturdy, strong, always sound, the Brogue shoe has been the English Gentleman’s footwear of choice for a millennium and more. Originally French, the Carbatine, it was adopted in the British Isles as the more ruggedly Gaelic, Brog in the 4th and 5th Centuries. Originally the line of holes – the ‘Broguing Row’ - running along the shoe’s upper curves and lines let water to escape as their owner trod the heather and the bogs of his Celtic estates. Now the holes are purely decorative, and the Mens Brogue sits as well in City boardrooms as under the breakfast tables of country seats. Our PREMIUM Brogues are constructed from supple full grain, aniline-dyed calf hides specifically selected from Europe’s first-rated tanneries. Style and Exclusivity are the watchwords. Our SELECT Mens Brogues are made from Calf Leather, the leather from younger hides, sourced from tanneries around the world for Quality and Strength. Our GRADE range of Oxford Shoes are cobbled from side or calf Leather. Please read the individual decription. View our full range of Mens Half Brogues |
