Full-brogue Oxfords first appeared in Ireland and Scotland in the 19th century. The word “brogue” is itself derived from the Gaelic for shoe. In former times, the punch decoration protected men’s feet from the water that would seep into the shoes in boggy conditions. The perforations allowed the shoe to drain off the wetness and offered good breathability. Full-brogues were considered to be outdoor shoes or country footwear for a long time – today they are an essential item in every man’s wardrobe.
