Brogues Men's Shoes with Perforated Detailing
Classic Shoe Models with that Special Something
Brogues are among the most impressive shoes that men can use to express their good taste and attention to detail through their feet. These lace-up shoes are characterized by finely crafted perforated patterns. In general, these works of art are divided into semi-brogues and full-brogues.
Brogues: Holes with Function and as a Statement
Brogue shoes originated from shepherds and farmers in Scotland and Ireland and have been known as footwear for several centuries. The shepherds would drill holes in their shoes to allow water from the marshy ground to drain out and to aid in quick drying of the shoes. The characteristic hole patterns, also known as "broguing", not only give these shoes a unique appearance centuries later, but also continue to serve their original purpose - providing better ventilation for the feet and drainage of water. Although nowadays, few men are in the shepherd business and are more likely to be seen in a suit or jeans.
Diverse shoe models for every occasion
The Brogue shoes for men available today only have the perforated pattern as decoration and the holes are no longer continuous. Instead, the additional shaft parts are decorated with a perforated pattern to embellish the shoe. Usually, a toe cap and a heel cap are attached, and the shaft varies depending on the model from particularly deep to ankle-covering.
It is also characteristic that Brogues are exclusively lace-up shoes. These premium shoes are mostly classic men's shoes and are used differently depending on their structure. While the Halfbrogue or Semibrogue can be worn with a suit, the Fullbrogue belongs more to the category of sporty shoes and is therefore more commonly paired with casual clothing.
Our range of men's shoes and men's boots includes various brogue variations, including full brogue, semi brogue, and quarter brogue, each with different hole patterns, decorations, and lacing.
