A Guide to Men’s Brogue Shoes

by Mike Tyler Fashion enthusiastic

Casual lace-ups and boots have been a wardrobe staple for centuries, and are made to last. Even if you’re not in London, you can look at the part with Barker men’s brogue. Barker range includes models inspired by classic designs from the 1960s onwards, which are designed in modern materials such as canvas and suede. Whether you’re going for a smart urban look or prefer something more relaxed, we have a pair to match your personality and schedule.

A classic men’s leather shoe in a sleek, streamlined design, the Engineer brogue is made with oiled nubuck leather and tumbled leather. It has a Goodyear welt construction, which means the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, so you don’t have to worry about them coming apart like you do with a stitch-down welt. The sole is super flexible for comfort (it bends in more places than most shoes), and is removable so it’s easy to repair or replace worn-out soles.

What is a Brogue Shoe

Brogue shoes, sometimes called wingtips, are shoes that feature perforated holes in a specific pattern. The word "brogue" comes from the Gaelic word brog, which means "shoe." The original brogue shoe--and the one still most associated with the style--is the wingtip shoe. The wingtips we wear today get their name from the decorative "wings" carved into each piece of leather that dangle from either side of the shoe.

Types of Brogue Shoes:

Simple Brogues
Semi-Brogues
Full Brogues
Brogue Boots
