Brogues Worth the Investment

Brogues occupy that brilliant territory between smart and casual that very few shoes manage as convincingly. The perforated detailing, the lace up front, the slightly chunky sole. They look brilliant with tailored trousers, with jeans, with midi skirts. We've been into brogues consistently for years and we've accumulated strong opinions about which ones are worth it. These are the brogues that are properly made, properly comfortable after a brief wearing in period, and stylish in a way that doesn't date.

Platform Brogues for Modern Elevation

A platform brogue applies the contemporary height trend to the heritage brogue silhouette in a combination that earns the classic format a specifically current and individually considered position in the modern footwear wardrobe. The platform needs to be correctly proportioned for the brogue construction and the material needs quality to earn the elevated heritage format. The platform height should complement rather than overwhelm the brogue detailing. These are the platform brogues worth the investment because the contemporary platform elevation earns the heritage brogue format a fashion-forward relevance that updates the traditional silhouette without losing the character and the quality that specifically makes brogues worth investing in rather than reaching for a purely trend-led platform boot that lacks the heritage quality.
