Fashion brogues for men and women

Brogues are classic shoes with a cut-off toe laced leather, the distinctive feature of which is perforation, i.e. holes.

Once upon a time, the right to wear this type of shoe belonged exclusively to men, but at the present time the models of brogues fit well into women's sophisticated images.

To date, the Brogues have lost their former utility. The perforation remained as a tribute to tradition and style, but it is still the main distinguishing feature of brogues. Of course, in many modern models, the holes are no longer made through. Many models of shoes brogues are made on the lining of a variety of materials, which, thanks to modern technology itself has the effect of air passage and moisture drain.

Lacing in brogah can be of any kind: closed or open. When closed, the vamp is sewn to the berets, and when it is open, on the contrary, the berets are over the vamp. Recently, lacing does not carry with it any practical purpose, and more often is a decorative element of traditional footwear.

Brogues have a rich history and always look quite aristocratic and elegant, but not too formal due to perforation.

This classic look of shoes goes well with informal corduroy suits and smart casual wear.

Oxfords, derbies and brogues belong to the classic type of shoe with lacing on a flat sole or with a small steady square heel. Despite the delusions of many, they still differ among themselves. This difference from each other consists not only in appearance, but in the overall design and degree of formality, which they carry in themselves.

So, the most strict official model are, undoubtedly, oxfords. This type of footwear has only a closed lacing and a very laconic design, which does not contain the excesses of jewelry and decoration elements. As a rule, they also have a rather rigid form and lacquer coating, thanks to which they look more solemn and are ideal for important business and elegant family events.

Derby, in contrast to the previous model, has open lacing, and in their design various decoration is allowed. Most often as a decorative element may be a "bow" on the lacing, or a cutting heel from another material. They can be made of softer leather compared to oxfords.Derby is not forbidden to wear with a classic suit to work in the office, but they can also be used in the image together with jeans and trousers, and for women and with skirts from an informal style, without fear of appearing frilly.

Brogues in this comparison can have different types of lacing and perforation as a decorative detail in the design. They look more like derbies, but they often have a creative double sole with welded firmware. Brogue shoes are not made to wear with a classic suit, it’s rather weekend shoes.
