Brogues are traditionally characterised by multiple-piece leather uppers with decorative perforations on the ridges of the material. Roots of this iconic shoe can be traced back to an early 19th century traditional, elemental shoe from Ireland and Scotland. The shoe was designed as outdoor, country footwear for farmers to use when crossing wet terrain- the perforations on the uppers allowing the water to drain out of the shoe.
Brogues have definitely experienced a huge transformation from their original use in the 19th century, where they were considered to be innapropriate for any other situations, business or social.  Now it is one of the most fashionable, versatile and timeless shoes, constantly being reinvented in new ways. Aside from their typical form of leather flats, brogues can now also be boots, high-heeled shoes for women, and even sneakers! Needless to say, they are appropriate for almost every occasion, suiting both casual and smart attire. 
Brogues are considered very chic and a very English style of footwear- they have been around for over a century! They feed into the continuing trend for heritage looks and are a great way to add a classic British twist to a modern look.
