Brogues are characterized by the unique décor perforations along with the shoe’s leather uppers. Technically, both an oxford & a derby can be considered brogues if they have the distinctive “broguing” along the leather uppers.

If we are going to be strict about it, the question should really be oxfords or derbies: the smoothness of a closed lacing system versus the informality of an open lacing system.

Brogues are characterized by the unique punching or decorative perforations along the shoe's leather uppers. Technically, both an oxford and a derby can be considered brogues if they have the distinctive “broguing” along the leather uppers. There are also different variations of brogue shoes. Oxford have basically a close lacing system while Derby shoes have open lacing system. Both are formal shoes but oxfords by Barker are consider more formal then Derby Shoes

Oxford, Derby, and Brogue shoes are three common formal footwear choices for men and due to their similar appearance and build, it’s easy to get confused.
Oxford shoes fall on top of the formality scale because of their sophisticated built. Often confused with derby shoes, the key differentiation of oxford shoes it has a closed lacing system. In an oxford shoe, the space between the eyelets tab, which is the strips of leather on either side of the tongue, are sewn shut at the bottom. Oxford shoes usually come in leather or faux leather.
Derby shoes for men and oxfords are quite similar and it can be difficult to differentiate between the two. Derby is often called Oxford’s cousin but considered less formal in nature. The crucial difference between the two is that - Oxfords feature a closed lacing system, whereas derbies have an open lacing system.
The term ‘brogue’ is an Irish term for dress shoes for men that features decorative elements known as broguing. Brogue shoes feature unique perforations and details that can give character and style to your formal or casual look. Aesthetically similar to oxfords and derbies, the presence of broguing or decorative details is what makes it different.
