Brogues

Semi-brogues, also known as half-brogues, are a small feast for the eyes - you can follow their perforated patterns with your gaze and admire these many small embellishments. These shoes are anything but boring and are accordingly very well-suited for leisure wear.

Quarter brogues may only have subtle perforation patterns, but they stand out more because there’s less going on around them. To me, many quarter brogues are interesting hybrids between simple formality and playful decoration.

If you're looking for a small work of art in perforation patterns for your new shoes, then you'll likely be very happy with a pair of full brogues. There's something to look at everywhere, and the shoes can attract a lot of attention.

The term "brogue" refers to a shoe with perforated patterns, known as broguing. Here you’ll learn more about the different variations and why they’re ideal for casual wear.

Austerity Brogues are implied full brogues, but their decoration is much more subtle. Instead of relying on perforations, Austerity Brogues use wing caps and heel counters with double stitching so the lines stand out better.
