The brogue is one of the most iconic shoe designs for men. Popularized in the thirties by King Edward VIII, the brogue is now an essential business shoe in black, or a relaxed but smart country or leisure shoe in brown or burgundy.
The brogue was originally designed in Scotland and Ireland as shoes suitable for wearing while working outdoors. As the Irish and Scottish countryside is wet and characterized by bogs, the perforations of the brogue allowed water to drain from the shoes.
The term “brogue” refers to the punching of holes into leather. A full brogue has punching on the toe, around the sides (wing-tip or long-wing) and the rear counters. A semi-brogue has punching just on the toecap and rear counters. A quarter-brogue has a single row of punching on the toecap.
Wing-tip brogues are characterized by a pointed toecap with extensions (wings) that run along both sides of the toe, terminating near the ball of the foot. Viewed from the top, this toecap style is "W" shaped and looks similar to a bird with extended wings. Long-wing brogues are characterized by a pointed toecap with wings that extend the full length of the shoe, meeting at a center seam at the heel.
