Full Brogues

Semi-Brogues

Brogues were stout leather shoes from Ireland or Scotland - the word is derived from the Gaelic for shoe. A semi-brogue has a straight toe cap (as opposed to the wing cap of a full brogue) that is still decorated with punched and serrated leather.

Quarter Brogues

Brogues were stout leather shoes from Ireland or Scotland - the word is derived from the Gaelic for shoe. A quarter brogue has a straight toe cap (as opposed to the wing cap of a full brogue) with brogueing on the toe cap seam; but the toe cap itself is without decoration.

Longwing Brogues
Brogues were stout leather shoes from Ireland or Scotland - the word is derived from the Gaelic for shoe. A full brogue has the toe, side and heel decorated with punched and serrated leather.

Brogues come in the closed front Oxford style or the open front Derby (also known as Gibson) style. Longwings or Long Wing Brogues are available in the Derby style. Longwing Brogues were de rigeur in the 1970s, when they were also known in the UK as American Brogues; and, not unpredictably, in America they were known as English Brogues.

Ghillie Brogues

Whether you wear the kilt in the highlands or in the city, these fine ghillie brogues are the shoes to go with it.

Boots (all)

A boot is simply a shoe that rises above the ankle.

Boots had their heyday in the 19th Century: in the early part of the century most boots were knee high, such as Wellingtons; but by the latter part of the period half-boots were more common. By the 1920s, shoes had taken over from boots in formal roles; however boots remain very popular to the present day for casual wear.
